White people: not responding to the tweets is an option. Feel free to like it or share it if that’s appropriate but you don’t need to chime in. We can learn or reflect without making the conversation about us.

If you see anyone talking about how the Amazon strike could disrupt the flow of packages:

Facts matter…

[Congressman Greg Landsman @RepGregLandsman]

Congress was moments away from passing a bipartisan funding agreement that would have helped our farmers, seniors, families, and small businesses – almost everybody.

Then, a billionaire & Trump said, “Nope, shut the government down.”

10 ways they just screwed you 🧵👇

[Senator Scott Wiener @Scott_Wiener]

In the rush to blame trans people for the Dem loss, @AndyBeshearKY powerfully reminds us that Dems can win by helping people thrive while also treating trans people like full human beings. The 2 aren’t mutually exclusive & we don’t have to throw trans people under the bus to win.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Soon to be Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth complained on Fox that veterans who use the benefits they've earned are dependent on the government and lack "personal integrity".

This is what every Vet who wore their MAGA hats to the VA hospital voted for.

I am pleased to announce the President-elect does NOT have the authority to create a government agency without the approval of Congress.

FYI we don’t need a Department of Government Efficiency. We already have one.

@USGAO - the Government Accountability Office (GAO, est. 1921) - saves $133 for every $1 of funding it receives! If all GAO recommendations were implemented, the financial benefit could be >$200 bil.

@Angry_Staffer @elj77 Literally NONE of the states would have had a different outcome if all 3rd party votes went to Harris instead. This is NOT a result of them. Even though I disagree with their choice, I’m not blaming the Dems incompetence on them.

@ChrisDJackson I think Matt Gaetz is worse 😭

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

BREAKING: The NLRB has just ruled that captive audience meetings are illegal nationwide.

These are mandatory meetings where bosses try to persuade workers not unionize, often using coercive tactics.

The abortion rights measure in Florida 'lost' with 57% of the vote and 1.5 million more votes than the opposition.

And for what it's worth: Amendment 4 got a million more votes than Ron DeSantis did in 2022

For the first time in history, the United States has a sitting congressperson who is transgender.

Congratulations to Sarah McBride, whose race was just called by MSNBC.

She wins in a year where a historic amount of anti-trans ads were blared across TV screens in America.

i don��t think taylor swift is a republican but i do think she’s an out of touch democrat billionaire who believes that you can separate politics from relationships because she will be protected from everything

[Lis Schendel Misses the Pac-12 @lis_ashlee]

14 out of 16 goals under Emma Hayes right here 🇺🇸✨

[The Medal Count @TheMedalCount_]

The "MyKayla" who went viral for calling Simone Biles + her teammates untalented and lazy is NOT the same person as the "McKayla" who went viral for the not impressed meme face.

I'm pointing this out because I keep seeing McKayla Maroney get dragged for what MyKayla Skinner said

[The Medal Count @TheMedalCount_]

Here's why country limits are so bad:

Jordan Chiles' is the #3 ranked gymnast in the competition right now, but she isn't the top-2 American in any of her events.

She gets punished not for being bad, but because she scores so evenly across all events

Atlanta airport is jam-packed. Mothers w/ small children on the floor in the terminal. Line for customer service is 1/2 mile long. No rental cars. Few hotel options. People’ve been stuck here 3 days.

If there weren’t bigger national news- @Delta CEO would be dragged to testify.
