@NWSKansasCity All the rain and a bit of tiny hail in KCK!!

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

To suggest that enslaved people somehow benefited from slavery is not only misleading, it is false. This is revisionist history.

When you're thinking about your entertainment choices this weekend, I ask that you consider this first.

.@Lawrence: "I've been reluctant to speak about RFK Jr. because I have not wanted to enable his access to the drug addiction he has never conquered, [that] has been with him all his adult life... the addiction to attention. The very same addiction that has driven Donald Trump."

I stand in support of the #ERANOW Resolution, not merely as a Congressman but as a son, a father, and a husband. All men must rally for the #ERA - it's our shared duty. Constitutional equality for women and LGBTQ+ people shouldn't take 100 years. We must act now.

Tell @JNJNews their attempts to evergreen the patent on the life-saving tuberculosis drug bedaquiline is unjust and a violation of their corporate credo: https://t.co/6LJZ39ltVj
And then tell the world that Johnson & Johnson is denying MILLIONS access to life-saving TB treatment.

Missouri doesn’t need more of the same.

I’m running for Governor so the people working extra shifts today can make life better for their kids tomorrow.

A Colorado web designer who the U.S. Supreme Court ruled could refuse to make a wedding website for gay couples had cited a request from a man who says he never asked to work with her. https://t.co/vKj4uiv4zy

Shame on the Supreme Court.

First, Roe. Then LGBTQ+ rights on the last day of #PrideMonth.

They won’t stop there. It’s never been more urgent to help elect Democratic pro-choice women who will fight for freedom.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Just last year, DOE forgave $6 BILLION for defrauded students. Trump completely wiped out debt for disabled veterans. Neither program was challenged nor overturned.

We still have the power to cancel and must use it, or we’re looking at an economic crisis for millions of people.
