Happy #9to5day ✨

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

In the United States of America, billionaire stadium owners should not be able to silence artists because they speak out on political issues.

Today it is the genocide in Gaza. What's next?

If they can silence one artist, they can silence anyone.

Solemn ceremonies in New York and across the U.S. are mourning the thousands of lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001. A new moment of silence will honor those who have died from illness because of toxic dust they inhaled after the attacks. Follow live updates. https://t.co/TR8y1IEymn

It's been 25 years since the 9/11 terror attacks on America. On Friday, the nation will remember those lost on that fateful day and take a moment of silence in their memory.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

If you were young in 2001, or weren’t even born yet, it can be hard to imagine what 9/11 felt like. The shock of that beautiful, cloudless morning. The heartbreak of the families whose loved ones were taken with such swiftness and cruelty. The realization that the forces of malevolence and violence were closer, and the future less certain, than we knew.

But in the days that followed, we felt something else, too. Pride in the rescue workers who had rushed to the scene, and the passengers who had stormed the cockpit. Admiration for the men and women who left behind lives of comfort to serve their country. A deep resolve that nothing would break the will of a truly United States of America.

Today Michelle and I are remembering those we lost that day, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the wars that followed. We pray for their families. And we hope Americans everywhere remember the true lesson of 9/11: that we can survive even our darkest days as long as we move forward as one nation and one people.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

For years, New Yorkers have demanded access to City records about the lasting health impacts of the horrific September 11th attacks. For years, they have been denied and ignored.

That ends today.

My administration is launching a free online portal for 9/11-related documents and releasing the first 170,000 pages today — available now at https://t.co/YnJTIIZ3lt.

These records prove what families and first responders have long known: City government knew the conditions around Ground Zero were dangerous — yet lied to New Yorkers.

Thousands pay the price for this. They bear the effects of that day every time they struggle to breathe or visit the doctor. More people have died from 9/11-related illnesses than were killed on the day itself.

As we mark twenty five years since September 11th, our vow to Never Forget will not waver. We will remember — and honor — those we have lost with the accountability and honesty they deserve.

Tonight, the Empire State Building tower lights will turn to a pink sparkle at 9:25 to honor the late Dolly Parton.

So glad she’s with her Carl Dean. No one talk to me today.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Dolly Parton was one of the great entertainers of our era. She was not only a talented musician & songwriter, but a lifelong philanthropist and advocate for literacy, education, LGBTQ+ rights, healthcare and disaster relief.

Her music and humanity touched millions. She will be sorely missed.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

This is truly heartbreaking. Dolly Parton was an extraordinary person and an irreplaceable champion of the working class. We are a better country because of her.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Dolly Parton defending the LGBTQ+ community from attacks 10 years ago:

I do not believe that we should criticize and judge other people. We’re all God’s children. We are who we are. I just think that we should be more loving, more caring, we are who we are. If you’re gay, you’re gay. If you’re straight, you’re straight and you should be allowed to be who you are.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Dolly Parton: My daddy told me that the Imagination Library probably was the most important thing I'd ever done. Inspiring kids to love to read became my mission. In the beginning my hope was simply to inspire the children in my home county, but here we are today with a worldwide program that gives a book a month to over a million children.

[Reba McEntire @reba]

Well, I just got the news that my buddy Dolly passed onto the higher and greater side.

Dolly, thank you for all the wonderful things you did for us here on earth.

Your love, your music and you gave so much with your huge huge heart.

There will never ever be another you.
We will remember and cherish every memory and every note you ever played and sang.

Thank you, Lord, for Dolly.
She’s gonna have a blast in heaven singing all her favorite songs with all her family and friends who have gone on before her.

I’ll never forget the first time I met you and I’ll never forget our last conversation. I hold it with love in my heart.

I will always love you,
Reba

A message from the family of Dolly Parton.

[Hallie Shoffner @hallieshoffner]

Tom Cotton voted against giving rail workers seven paid sick days. He has supported national right-to-work legislation that weakens workers’ ability to organize and bargain together. And he supports the Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern merger, which would put more than 40% of U.S. rail freight under one company and give Arkansas shippers fewer competitive options.

So when Tom Cotton visited the Union Pacific rail yard in North Little Rock and claimed to care about the hardworking men and women who keep our country moving, Arkansans weren’t fooled.

I am proud to be endorsed by the Arkansas AFL-CIO, and I stand with the workers of Union Pacific: the men and women of SMART-TD, BLET, IBEW, the Machinists, the Carpenters, the signal and track maintainers, and more who keep our railroad running and our economy moving.

Working people don’t need a Senator who praises them when the cameras are rolling and votes against them in Washington.

They need a Senator who stands with them when it counts.

I will.
