All Americans should be horrified and outraged by the brazen terrorist attacks on Israel and the slaughter of innocent civilians. We grieve for those who died, pray for the safe return of those who’ve been held hostage, and stand squarely alongside our ally, Israel, as it dismantles Hamas. As we support Israel’s right to defend itself against terror, we must keep striving for a just and lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike.

A year of gun violence at Denver's noted East High School spurred a bitter debate on whether to bring back police onto campuses. @sara_randazzo, @ShannonNajma and I followed the public schools chief, teachers + students as they grappled with the decision.

“oh so you want -your- tax dollars to pay for free school lunches?” literally yes. please take whatever is necessary to keep kids from going hungry. how the fuck is this controversial.

[Brian Egolf @BrianEgolf]

The intent behind this attack is clear. @ProtectNM and @NathanLCNM were targeted because of their leadership on climate issues by someone aiming to cause serious harm. The silence from @LeaderTownsend, @NMGOP and @KimSkaggs36 speaks volumes. #NMPol #NMLeg

The only thing that can stop a bad politician with a vote is a good citizen with a vote.

Thinking of Stan Lee and everything he’s done for our extended Marvel family today.

[Nora Meyers Sackett @norasack]

I can’t stop thinking about how Nancy Pelosi is 80 years old and just hours after she was so close to being murdered, she was like “ok, back to work”.

Kinda feels like we’re all gonna remember meeting Amanda Gorman.

“Here’s the thing about life. There’s no accounting for what fate will deal you. Some days you need a hand. On other days, we’re called on to lend a hand. That’s how it has to be. That’s what we do for one another.”
No one understands this better than @JoeBiden.
