No matter how you feel this morning, we all must find our strength.

We will continue to fight for our rights.
We will continue to fight for equality.
We will keep our sights ahead.
We will believe that it gets better.
We will listen to advice.
We will show up to do good work.
We will help others as we go.
We will lead with compassion.
We will walk with grace.
We will speak when we’re wronged.
We will lend our voice to the speechless.
We will continue to learn.
We will believe only fact.
We will remember our mistakes.
We will push harder.
We will love when others hate.
We will care for those who need help.
We will demand our nation be better.
We will believe in our purpose.
We will walk together.

Move forward with all of the above, not some.

Today, more than any day.
We must be the people for the people.

Countless Americans are endangered now on a scale and intensity almost unheard of in modern America. Our first responsibility is to protect these people and resist these forces.

[T. Greg Doucette @greg_doucette]

Senate Dems should take one of their assorted gun control bills off the shelf, rename it something like "Trump Assassination Prevention Act," and force Rs to do a talking filibuster to block it

[Keith Edwards @keithedwards]

Paul Pelosi survived an assassination attempt, Trump mocked it.

Biden called Trump to make sure he's ok. That's the difference.

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Imagine if Republicans were this concerned and angry when it's a school shooting.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November. https://t.co/Tn2TQu5Djo

Fourteen years ago, when the big three automakers were struggling to stay afloat, my administration and the American people stepped in to support them. So did the auto workers in the UAW who sacrificed pay and benefits to help get the companies back on their feet. Now that our carmakers are enjoying robust profits, it’s time to do right by those same workers so the industry can emerge more united and competitive than ever.

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

Both worked hard amid struggle and roadblocks to get where they are today. A similar place, yet completely different world views.

Justice Clarence Thomas benefited from affirmative action and today sits on the highest court in the land for life but is working to close doors on African Americans, other POC and marginalized communities, at every turn.

Ketanji Brown Jackson also sits on the same court & has become the voice for the people Thomas is stomping on.

THANK YOU, KBJ #AJustice4All

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

If you disagree with the decisions of this more conservative Supreme Court, there are actually really effective ways to rectify the situation.

They aren’t instant solutions but with time the issue can be fixed (if you believe it is an issue).

It is as simple as encouraging those people who aren’t registered to vote to get out and register.

It’s also as simple as voting yourself, not just in general elections but in local elections as well.

So stop complaining and take action. Those who care the most ultimately will help make the decisions.

The problem is that enough people don’t care enough or don’t know the power they have.

"A majority of white judges once again has asserted a fantasy and imposed it on the country... We want more people, not less, in college. We want more access to higher education."

It really bothers Republicans that @JBPritzker and Democrats in Illinois have balanced four budgets in a row since Rauner left. #ILGovDebate

[Andy Manar @AndyManar]

Our public education system in IL is not a national embarrassment.

Oh..and you CAN’T “fully fund our schools” under EBF w/ “zero based budgeting”. Get your facts straight. #ILGovDebate

[JB Pritzker @JBPritzker]

I’m proud to say that Illinois’ fiscal outlook is stronger than it’s been in decades.

Our state’s rainy day fund is now sitting at a record high, balancing out at $750 million.

Six credit upgrades later, we'll continue to stay the course to achieve more and more.
