Stunning display of leadership from Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms -- absolutely stunning.
Trust me -- this is worth setting aside a couple of minutes to watch:
“Porter ... has in her very first term managed to do in these hearings what lawmakers have been pretending to do in them for decades: speak truth to power, generate actual results, and enact change.”
I ran to get things done, and I’m going to keep at it.

My brother got laid off yesterday from Marriott.
He applied for unemployment; they called to check his employment status.
Marriott HR says he’s NOT laid off but on a ZERO hour schedule. So he can’t qualify for unemployment NOR does he have health insurance.
I am deeply concerned about the threat that coronavirus poses. Trump’s stumbling response is putting American lives and the economy at greater risk. I offered a plan ten days ago, and today I updated it based on the latest data and expert recommendations. https://t.co/Pxkuz5JRSw
I know this is all hard for you, @realdonaldtrump, so let me spell it out:
- Free testing
- Fee waivers
- Emergency sick leave
- Quarantines
- Cancellations
- Giving a damn
Back in July, I warned an economic crash could be coming. One serious shock would be enough—and the Trump administration's incompetent response to the coronavirus is already weakening our economy. https://t.co/l2NDsG6aQE
Choose to fight only righteous fights, because then when things get tough—and they will—you will know that there is only one option ahead of you: Nevertheless, you must persist.
So, Stewart gives her another chance over the protestations of his stage director, and Warren takes a few deep breaths, settles herself, and what results is this IN TWO PARTS (my apologies for the misaligned audio, it's the best I could do):
Just got a free trial on Hulu to watch #HillaryonHulu
To all the Warren supporters feeling it now, those of us who supported Hillary in 2016 watched him do the same thing.
I genuinely feel for Elizabeth Warren’s supporters. She has had one of the most competent and well put together campaigns that’s been balanced by passion and plans but, and I hate to say it, if she were a man she’d be in the top three in a walk.
Things Elizabeth Warren told our staff just now -
1. She's proud of us.
2. She will carry all of us in her heart forever.
3. There's no goodbyes for much of what we do.
4. Only choose righteous fights, and keep going.
I'll never have words for how grateful I am.
Senator @ewarren has made fighting on behalf of working families her life's work. Meeting urgency with moral courage, she’s the kind of leader Americans are fortunate to have, and I’m honored to have run alongside her.
I voted for @ewarren today b/c she listens to Black women, understands that “Economic justice has not ever been sufficient to ensure racial justice,” admits mistakes, is a tough broad, and b/c we now see how not having a leader w/ a plan costs lives. https://t.co/RHIMCN6TE4
