The U.S. Senate is the only institution in the world where a vote of 59-41 can be considered a defeat instead of a huge victory. Enough is enough. Let us change the outdated rules of the Senate, end the filibuster and pass a bold agenda for working families with majority vote.
Even though I grew up in Oklahoma, I was never taught about the #TulsaRaceMassacre or Black Wall Street in school. We should all learn about one of the worst incidents of racist violence in our nation's history, as ugly and uncomfortable as it may be.

Oh my god. The building where al Jazeera’s office is housed has just been taken down by Israeli airstrikes. There was a warning and evacuated. It houses offices and private homes. I can’t believe it.
"Israel has the absolute right to live in peace and security, but so do the Palestinians. I strongly believe that the United States has a major role to play in helping Israelis and Palestinians to build that future,” writes @BernieSanders. https://t.co/vNABZWX5L4
This is a classic stalker situation, it’s beyond concerning and I hope @GOPLeader does something before this escalates to a more dangerous situation.
@AOC deals with daily death threats and now has to deal w/ a deranged colleague following her around. She doesn’t deserve this.
The fight for Black lives and the fight for Palestinian liberation are interconnected.
We oppose our money going to fund militarized policing, occupation, and systems of violent oppression and trauma.
We are anti-war. We are anti-occupation. And we are anti-apartheid. Period.
We stand in solidarity with the Palestinian residents of Sheikh Jarrah in East Jerusalem. Israeli forces are forcing families from their homes during Ramadan and inflicting violence.
It is inhumane and the US must show leadership in safeguarding the human rights of Palestinians.
The forced removal of long-time Palestinian residents in Sheikh Jarrah is abhorrent and unacceptable. The Administration should make clear to the Israeli government that these evictions are illegal and must stop immediately. https://t.co/uI1vnTjDau
This is happening as Muslims pray tarawih & tahajud in Palestine.
Families who pray all night during Ramadan, the mosque is like home.
Palestinians deserve to find refuge in a mosque and peace in Ramadan.
Where is the media coverage?
🗣 up against Israeli occupation terror.
Mitch McConnell rather play obstructionist politics than help even his own constituents gain meaningful infrastructure, clean water, better schools, and more. Stop fighting the people Mitch, and start fighting FOR the people.
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) will likely be voted off the House Republican Leadership. Her crime: acknowledging the reality that Trump lost the election. The Republican Party is no longer a "conservative" party. It is an anti-democratic cult pushing the Big Lie and conspiracy theories.
Insulin was invented ~100 years ago, and its patent sold for $1.
“Do you know the reason why [insulin is] $1,000 with insurance?” ~@AOC
There is no reason for insulin to cost $21 in Canada for a 10 ml bottle, while it costs a mortgage payment in the US.
