[Ari Appel @therealariappel]

Thank you @POTUS for holding the first ever Rosh Hashanah celebration at the White House! Shana Tovah!

We knew this already but for those who can’t help but to believe everything this person says…

[AP Fact Check @APFactCheck]

The National Archives maintains millions of unclassified documents from former President Obama’s administration at a facility in Chicago. Obama did not take the records himself, nor are they classified, contrary to false claims by former President Trump. https://t.co/MRI02PYSAW

..Of losing? Oh it's pretty obvious at this point.
Especially when the International Swimming Federation makes ridiculous statements like
"Caps of such size and configuration" (designed for natural Black hair) are now banned from Olympic use. #SoulCap deserves better.

[Renée Watson @reneewauthor]

Her books gave me permission to write about Portland, to name the streets, the stores, the parks & libraries that raised me, to tell stories about joyful, thoughtful, rambunctious girls.
Thank you, #BeverlyCleary.
