Cute identity politics trick NYC Republicans learned here. @OsseChi says in a hearing that Dragonetti's name is a red flag (they were banned from city contracts for three years for insurance fraud), @JoeBorelliNYC calls him racist against Italians https://t.co/nsqOdey36k

“Stay angry, little Meg,” Mrs Whatsit whispered. “You will need all your anger now.”

Tomorrow, the expanded Child Tax Credit will begin providing monthly direct payments of up to $300 per child to working families in every state across this country. And with these direct payments, we will begin to cut childhood poverty by more than half. That is no small thing.

Hmmm... you don’t say🤔

You are now aware that Ross Perot gave Bernie Sanders a sword

@phillipberetta Hard agree re: MW

@zen_gwen No nose!!

The case against student loan forgiveness is looking shakier by the day.

We’ve got the *Senate Majority Leader* on board to forgive $50k. Biden’s holding back, but many of the arguments against it just don’t hold water on close inspection.

We can and should do it. Keep pushing!

@drewgmackie If only I could tell 7 year old me that she should propose games of Halloween or Scream so she could get some reprieve from playing the make-believe villain.

@drewgmackie As the pale dark haired sister to a blonde blue eyed tan sister, I’d also like to learn about films where the rival is the tan blonde and the pale brunette triumphs.

@eeddings Thank you so much for sharing this.

@JamilahLemieux @TheCut Such a good read. Loved your line about JFK and health insurance especially.

Something I think about a lot re: BA is how many POC worked there vs most other food pubs, especially last summer. There were people there who could flag issues, while at other places there are maybe 1-2 people alone facing things that won’t make it into a serialized podcast.

White supremacists ransacked the Capitol. Black and brown workers cleaned it up.

I’m introducing a Senate resolution to recognize the Capitol custodians for their bravery and service to our country on January 6th.

We must honor the dignity of their work.

Yes, people everywhere from resource-rich lands will be jazzed that instead of being murdered face-to-face by Blackwater mercenaries who receive impunity and presidential pardons, they'll be murdered remotely instead by 'awesome' robots that will then dance upon their graves.

Yes, and I'm hoping that because of Hunter, we will have more honest conversations about addiction in America. The shame of substance abuse keeps too many people from getting treatment they need, and Joe Biden has modeled family love and support that are so helpful.
