@JoyceWhiteVance We all must reach out to the Trump followers and reach A point of unity for Our Democracy, USA. All they hear is Trumps and Fox’s News we need a unity version of the NEWS.
Right now, America faces:
- The worst pandemic in 100 years
- The worst economic crisis since the Great Depression
- The most powerful calls for racial justice in a generation
I need someone alongside me who's smart, tough, and ready to lead. @KamalaHarris is that person.
Today is the 55th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. It’s also the 75th anniversary of the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima. One of the brightest days and one of the darkest.
We've included more on Rep. John Lewis and his legacy in our Opinion Today newsletter, which I hope you'll read. Ensuring that all Americans can exercise the right to vote was Lewis’s lifelong work. It’s up to the nation to finish it. https://t.co/Xnk1Bhj1sL -30-
Mr. Lewis’s final words are a call to action. “Democracy is not a state,” he says. “It is an act, and each generation must do its part to help build what we called the Beloved Community, a nation and world society at peace with itself.” (5/x) https://t.co/fJFrrvTS9R
John Lewis speaks of a hope sparked by all those who have protested, and are protesting. “While my time here has now come to an end, I want you to know that in the last days and hours of my life you inspired me,” he writes. (4/x) https://t.co/fJFrrvTS9R
As the editing went on, I heard Mr. Lewis received his last rites. I woke up each morning afraid we’d run out of time. But the text was finalized the night before he died. I think now of the hope Rep. Lewis wrote about in his Op-Ed. (3/x) https://t.co/fJFrrvTS9R
His aide read me an early draft over the phone, and I couldn't help tearing up, thinking of the grief I knew would soon arrive for those who loved him. We began to plan our editorial in appreciation of his life, written by the incredible @BrentNYT. (2/x) https://t.co/HNn7UK6Tnv
John Lewis, civil rights icon, sent me an essay shortly before he died of cancer on July 17. He wanted to deliver a final message to the nation and asked that we publish it on the occasion of his funeral. Today is that day. (1/x) https://t.co/fJFrrvTS9R
“I want you to know that in the last days and hours of my life you inspired me,” wrote Representative John Lewis, who penned this essay shortly before his death on July 17. We are publishing it today, on the day of his funeral. https://t.co/98g0K9zPvE
Trump's campaign has been laundering money through firms linked to Brad Parscale.
This is a direct violation of election law.
Over $200 million has been funneled through two of Parscale's businesses.

Pay attention.
Trump's morning tweet about postponing the election makes more sense now.
As President, he would have been told about Herman Cain's death FIRST.
Trump knew he was responsible for Cain's death & fired off an inflammatory tweet to change the news cycle
Believe it
People are demanding bold action from Congress to help get through this pandemic. I’m pushing for:
-$2,000 monthly payments;
-extended unemployment benefits;
-$125 billion fund for small neighborhood businesses;
-and a stop to evictions, foreclosures, and utility shutoffs.
The hard truth is that we can't just build back to the way things were before these crises — we have to build back better.
President @BarackObama and I discussed how we can do that, and much more:
