Watching the world turn from Raleigh NC. I'm a retired journalist, progressive politically & a Democrat, hard as that is. Happily married to Pam since '83.

This seems pretty good to me. Really, really good.

BREAKING: Today, we finalized $10B in settlements with CVS & Walgreens. That brings the total to $50B! We've held accountable manufacturers, distributors, & pharmacies for their roles in the opioid crisis. The funds will help those struggling with addiction. A huge win.

@Jane4Raleigh Great to see this. I’ll be in DC this weekend but will get to the Jan meet for sure.

You can be supportive of Brittney Griner’s release without talking down on Paul Whelan. You can also be supportive of releasing Paul Whelan without talking down on Brittney Griner. You don’t have to support one or the other. You can actually support both.

Ok, I’ve had it. I remained silent about Kyrsten Sinema for 10 years, but it’s time to break the silence.

I always had a distaste for candidates who criticize their opponents after they lose an election. It comes off as sour grapes even if it’s well-founded. But…(1/10)

Rounded out a GREAT shift on the road.

See you back at home Sunday, #WPN!

The United States, sadly, is the only major country on Earth that doesn't guarantee paid sick days. Pathetic. In a modern civilized society, it should be a no-brainer that if you or your family gets sick, you should have paid sick leave. End of discussion.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

The media should be framing the rail strike as “Rail CEOs Are Willing To Tank Economy To Not Give Workers Sick Days” but they work for the corporations, just like these politicians.

It’s days like today why those corporate donors didn’t want me on the floor of Congress.

Yes! Another good idea: Those things rolling through town on tracks. Um, Raleigh?

“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” https://t.co/EH3reri9lz
