Anyone else just finish watching President Biden's #farewelladdress? I don't know about you, but I had tears in my eyes.
#PresidentBiden, thank you for your more than five decades of public service to our great nation. Thank you for your decency, your honesty, your integrity. I will miss you.

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits.
If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

So every time Trump claims he has a major primetime announcement the networks will give him free live airtime to give a MAGA rally speech?

Remember when Presidents did national speeches for emergencies or times where a nation needs to hear from their leader?

This isn’t enforcement. This is harassment.
They’ve grabbed people off the street for how they look, separated families, and scarred communities with masked agents with guns.

Rob Reiner was more than an amazing movie director to me.
He was one of our strongest public advocates for @TheDemCoalition, part of our Impeachment Task Force.
He was one of America's foremost voices of reason and wisest defenders of democracy.

Rob Reiner was the consummate storyteller. Over and over, he revealed us to ourselves: what it is to be young and have friends, to fall in love, to feel misery and vengeance, to feel alive. And the laughs. So many laughs. The loss of Rob Reiner is... inconceivable.

The mass shooting at Brown University is horrific. My heart is breaking for the students and community in Rhode Island. No one should be subjected to the terror of gun violence at school or anywhere.
This is still an active situation. If you are in the area, stay sheltered.

Words can’t express my rage. At least 2 students on lockdown at Brown University already survived mass shootings.
Zoe Weissman survived Parkland in 2018.
Mia Tretta was shot in the stomach in Santa Clarita in 2019 and watched her best friend be murdered.
And now…again.
