@giazilo You'd think this simplie approach to public health is a reasonable and effective way of managing the pandemic, but in the era of culture wars, it isn't.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

I went to Washington and told anyone who would listen that Wall Street was about to bring our whole economy crashing down. But a lot of our leaders—bought and paid for by the big banks—didn’t want to listen.

Turns out, it’s hard to hear when your ears are stuffed with money.

@BarackObama President Biden got this deal done. Looks like he is actually the President who has mastered the Art of the Deal not the former guy 😂

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Elections matter—and we’re seeing why. Congratulations to the Biden Administration and to the American people on a COVID relief bill that will improve the lives of families across the country.

[Janet Johnson @JJohnsonLaw]

The fact that they found the parents of the 500 stolen migrant children in 30 days doesn’t seem to be getting the coverage it deserves.

[Julie Roginsky @julieroginsky]

I get it now. Ted and Heidi Cruz wanted their children to be safe, to have basic sanitary services like heat and running water, to leave behind a third-world apocalyptic nightmare for a safer place. Like so many parents before them, they decided to cross the Mexican border.
