@SecretaryBurgum My parents are buried in Arlington - because my father fought Nazis in World War II. I WILL SIT IN FRONT OF TRUMP’s BULLDOZERS to stop him from desecrating the view from the Lincoln Memorial to America’s sacred ground. We cant allow him to do this!

[Secretary Doug Burgum @SecretaryBurgum]

We are pleased to announce that after a very long wait (over 125 years!), we are preparing to start, over the next two-week period, the excavation work necessary for the Great Triumphal Arch and Military Observation Deck, at Memorial Circle on Columbia Island between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. This will be one of the Great Pieces of American Architecture, honoring the history and significance of Arlington Cemetery and befitting the most powerful Capital in the World.

Robert Redford has died. A great actor and director, he was also a leader in the movement for a sustainable environment. He spoke at our 2006 Take Back America conference and presented the Apollo Alliance award to Steelworker President, Leo Gerard. A green economy = good jobs.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris delivered on Medicare drug prices - with the first round of drug price reductions. Elect Kamala and a majority in Congress - and we can cut pharmaceutical prices for everyone.

Right-wingers are attacking Pedro Sanchez, the progressive Prime Minister of Spain. Thousands of Spanish JOURNALISTS have signed a Manifesto standing up to anti-democratic ultra right forces. Imagine US journalists doing something like this. https://t.co/al5QB4gIYL

.@POTUS has yet to use his two most effective climate tools. If he keeps delaying, he could lose the chance to use them at all. @EvergreenAction explains these super-effective climate tools—and why Biden’s climate goals are at risk without them. https://t.co/xw9rkZSb1z

Social Security and Medicare are lifesaving programs that should be strengthened, not cut. Congress must raise the debt ceiling to protect workers and our economy, without slashing the programs millions of Americans depend on. https://t.co/w87bFu17ha

@StephenKing When my bar of Ivory soap gets down to a sliver, I wet it and stick it into a new one. I always have a bar, but the older part does disappear. Eventually I have another sliver, which goes on a new bar. Continuous erosion and regeneration.
Love you books and movies.

@disclosetv Tragic and sad accident. My dad was a bombardier in a B-17 that bombed Germany 80 years ago when the B-17s were new - and it was German fighters going after them. Love to the crew who died in TX and their families.

Dems Must Campaign on the Economy.

Advocates and progressive groups are joining the Solidarity Agenda, urging candidates and grass-roots campaigns to talk aggressively about our solutions – and the Republicans' utter failure to stand up to the special interests causing inflation

[Roger Hickey @RogerHickey]

This has been scary for years - and it still goes on!

[Economic Policy Institute @EconomicPolicy]

Forget quiet quitting—we need to talk about quiet fleecing. Workers are more productive than ever, but their pay hasn’t kept pace while top 1% wages have skyrocketed.

[Roger Hickey @RogerHickey]

Well done! Not enough for Dems to promise good policies. We need to identify the forces of greed standing in the way of a decent life for working people.

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

I haven’t heard the assessment of Neoliberalism made so clearly and sincerely and how it’s the precursor to fascism. Follow and support @GeorgeMonbiot for the reawakening of fairness and human decency. Thank you, Tuba for sharing.

[Roger Hickey @RogerHickey]

Time for Dems to talk about this winning economic message. @SolidarityAgenda

[Americans For Tax Fairness @4TaxFairness]

New polling finds that THE ECONOMY is the top issue for voters this fall, and pundits are saying Republicans have the edge.

But Republicans have been extremely forthcoming about EXACTLY what will happen to the economy if they get their way.

Here's what you need to know 🧵
