Hey @cariboucoffee! Yes...I'm talking to YOU! If you're going to discontinue my favorite, lemon bread, the least you could do is send me the recipe so I can make myself some to go with my chai! #chaiwithoutCariboulemonbreadislikeadaywithoutsunshine

@MLS @MNUFC Well, I wasn't upset at all! #MNUFC

@BrasilEdition What an immature little twit...

@RexChapman Me too!

Veterans are not “suckers” or “losers.” And they deserve a Commander in Chief who understands that.

@AMAZlNGNATURE And...they're freakin' adorable!

I #VoteYeboah for @MLS Player of the Matchday!

Educators, voting is now open. Vote for @EducationMN endorsed candidates who understand that teachers make 31% less than other workers w/ comparable education & ESPs deserve a living wage. An investment in quality educators is an investment in our children's future success. #Vote

This isn’t some wild accusation or scare tactic.

Republicans are admitting they would side with Big Pharma and gut the Biden-Harris law that lets Medicare negotiate drug prices, if they win.

They are literally, openly, for higher drug prices.

As long as Boeing is in the news, let me remind you...

Boeing's outgoing CEO will get a "golden parachute" worth as much as $45 million.

The CEO before him got $62 million on his way out the door.

America has socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

NEW: The pay gap for #teachers grew to a RECORD 26.6% in 2023—a significant increase from 6.1% in 1996.

✅Closing the growing #paygap between teachers & other college graduate professionals is critical to public education.

@ReggieWilsonTV Unacceptable!

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works, huh?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Let's be clear: Kamala Harris isn't advocating for price controls.

She's advocating for federal laws to stop price gouging and make markets competitive.

Prices are already being controlled in America by big corporations that have gobbled up markets and don't have to compete.

Congratulations to 15-year-old Heman Bekele, @TIME magazine’s Kid of the Year, who invented a soap that could help treat skin cancer.

Food company profit increases since inflation peaked:

Cheesecake Factory +471%
Cal-Maine +268%
Jack In The Box +213%
Chipotle +110%
Starbucks +47%
Sysco +43%

How much did they collectively spend on stock buybacks? Over $10 billion.

They used inflation as cover to get rich.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

This is one of the reasons why we pay, by far, the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.

The pharmaceutical industry has some 1800 well paid lobbyists on Capitol Hill, including former leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties.

My first year to vote and my vote went to this incredible human being for President. He is so worthy...

[Greg Bluestein @bluestein]

As former President Jimmy Carter nears his 100th birthday, his milestone celebration isn’t on his mind.

Defeating Donald Trump is.

“I’m only trying to make it to vote for Kamala Harris,” Carter told his son Chip this week.

Did you hear today is James Baldwin's 100th birthday? Do you feel like you should have read him by now?

We have a chart for that!

AND we made a James Baldwin page browsable by genre (since he was a genre-defying genius): https://t.co/4CfEr8YsIX
