@BrianKarem This is the only way to react and stay sane once you become aware of our climate and overshoot trajectory.

"Last night, I left from pulling two 14 hour shifts. Stopped by the grocery store to grab food for dinner and as I was checking out a woman started crying in the next checkout line. Her daughter asked her what's wrong and she said we can't afford to eat tonight. A person behind her gave her a couple dollars and she bought her daughter a Kids Cuisine tv dinner. I told her to grab what she wants, ill pay for it. I NEVER stop at this Wal-Mart. I'm simply saying GOD puts you where he needs you to be WHEN he needs you to be there." Credit: Bear Taliferro Jr.

13.5 million new jobs.

Unemployment below 4% for the longest stretch in 50 years.

Highest share of working-age Americans with jobs in 20 years.

It’s called Bidenomics.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

The rate of Americans without health insurance is at an all-time low.

Premiums for coverage for millions of Americans under the Affordable Care Act are $800 lower per person than before I took office.

Wow. I just asked my Uber driver how he’s doing. He said, “Amazing” because, after 20+ years of trying to pay off student loans, he finally saw his loans forgiven & feels “much more hopeful.” Folks, THIS is the impact that President Biden’s policies is having & it’s incredible.

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

Hey, MSNBC: President Biden just addressed the nation about his actions to help the Maui. CNN aired the speech live, but I didn’t see the speech air on your network. Why? You failed your viewers and democracy by not airing the speech. Please do better.

BREAKING: President Biden has announced that on Tuesday he will sign a proclamation to establish a national monument honoring Emmett Till and his mother Mamie Till-Mobley.

Details:

- The National Monument will span across 3 locations in Illinois and Mississippi, and according to The Independent will "protect places that are central to the story of Till's life and death at age 14, the acquittal of his white killers and his mother's activism, which helped spark the civil rights movement."

- Emmett Till was lynched as a teen in Mississippi in 1955 after being accused of whistling at a white woman.

- Tuesday is the anniversary of Till's birth in 1941.

This is an action that all Americans should be able to get behind.

Thank you Joe Biden.

Please keep this simple:

If you require schools to teach the “personal benefits” of slavery you are pro-slavery.

Ron DeSantis is pro-slavery.

BREAKING: President Biden has hit 140 federal judges confirmed — more judicial confirmations than Presidents Trump, Obama, and George W. Bush up to this point in their presidencies.

This is no accident. President Biden made judicial nominations a top priority before he was even sworn in as president. And since then, the President and Democratic leaders have moved swiftly to confirm a historic number of highly-qualified, civil rights attorneys and public defenders.

Interesting fact: Tony Bennett was demoted during World War II because he ate with a black soldier before racial integration. Tony Bennett invited his Black friend, Frank Smith, to dine with him at a time when soldiers were still officially segregated. As a result, a bigoted officer demoted Bennett from corporal to private and reassigned him to a unit that exhumed mass graves and prepared the bodies of soldiers for shipment back home[1]. This incident was an example of the widespread prejudice and discrimination that existed in the army during that time[1]. Tony Bennett later became an advocate for civil rights and joined Dr. Martin Luther King during the 1965 civil rights march in Alabama[1].

RIP Tony Bennett

It was a good day in the Senate Judiciary Committee, where my Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency bill advanced onward.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

This is great. President Biden in Philadelphia just touted Marjorie Taylor Greene's 'endorsement' of him once again: "I never had an endorsement from her before." (h/t @acyn)

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

This is brilliant. Democrats on the Weaponization Committee are taking a sledgehammer to Kennedy, but not asking him any questions, thus denying him the ability to respond.

He's becoming unhinged that Democrats aren't allowing him to spread his nonsense even more. 😂😂😂

[Acyn @Acyn]

Biden: As you may have seen, apparently 40 million people watched, Marjorie Taylor Greene, said, Biden is doing things like Roosevelt and creating these jobs. I never had an endorsement from her before.

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

BAM: Dark Brandon rises again in Philadelphia right now, saying "As you may have seen, apparently 40 million people watched, Marjorie Taylor Greene, said, Biden is doing things like Roosevelt and creating these jobs. I never had an endorsement from her before."

BREAKING: the Senate Judiciary Committee just advanced a bill to require an enforceable code of conduct for Supreme Court Justices.

@MaxwellFrostFL @danielsgoldman @JasmineForUS @AOC @RepSummerLee @JaredEMoskowitz TLDR: Leader Jeffries has done a tremendous job shaping Committees so they can respond to & push back against Republicans in the most effective way possible. And Democrats have risen to the occasion by taking off the gloves, sticking to facts, & exposing hypocrisy. Simply amazing

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

Reminding everyone that Leader Hakeem Jeffries meticulously & surgically composed each Committee so it had the best & strongest Democratic members to push back against Republicans. What we're seeing now is because of Hakeem Jeffries & we should be so proud & grateful.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

I approve this message.

60 million children benefited from the expanded Child Tax Credit. It is time to permanently expand this benefit for children in America.
