. @SenatorSinema, you show real courage in the Senate every day. I appreciate your independence and your work on behalf of all Americans regardless of party.

Dear @JusticeDems: Saw your video (although so far not on Facebook..) impugning the motives of principled House Ds. They’re fighting for Biden’s agenda, for rebuilding roads, for getting lead out of kid’s water and broadband into their homes. You’re standing in the way.
NEW: Progressives (@WorkingFamilies, @IndivisibleTeam, @sunrisemvmt, and Organize For Justice) launch six figure ad-buy targeting nine obstructionist Democrats blocking Biden infrastructure deal

Thank you @RepJoshG @RepGolden @RepGonzalez @RepBourdeaux @RepSchrader @RepFilemonVela @RepJimCosta @RepEdCase @RepCuellar for standing up for everyday Americans and asking for an immediate vote on bipartisan infrastructure. Thank you, #UnbreakableNine! USA needs it!
.@speakerpelosi Allow vote now on the 2-party Sen infrastructure bill. Stand against partisanship, scheming, extreme voices that stymie progress. Stand in support of the will of the people, for fairness, for the values embodied by 2-party solutions. #BipartisanInfrastructureNow
Most people said it couldn't be done. But not @SenBillCassidy @SenatorCollins @Sen_JoeManchin @SenatorSinema. The Senate just passed a bipartisan infrastructure bill on a resounding 69-30 vote. These courageous Senators got it done. Thank you! It's a #BIDdeal
What — and I can’t stress this enough — the fuck? How do you “opt out” of history?
A Utah charter school is allowing parents to opt students out of its Black History Month curriculum, stating they’re allowed “to exercise their civil rights to not participate in Black History Month at the school." nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna125…

We are experiencing a close call with autocracy. In order to make sure it doesn’t stick the next time, there needs to be a political cost for those elected officials who support these final acts of sedition.

During the Mueller investigation, Trump’s lawyer floated a pardon to Manafort. Manafort withdrew his cooperation with prosecutors, lied, was convicted, and then Trump praised him for not “ratting.” Trump’s pardon now completes the corrupt scheme. Lawless until the bitter end.

The economy wasn’t working for folks long before this virus hit. That’s why @KamalaHarris and I won’t just build back to the way things were — we’re going to build back better. We’re going to make sure everyone has a fair shot to get ahead. joebiden.com/build-back-bett…

With thousands of Arizonans out of work, through no fault of their own, the Senate went on recess. Congress has failed to treat this crisis with the urgency it deserves. The Senate needs to get to work on relief for struggling families immediately.

I would love for someone to ask him what ‘critical race theory’ is
The president posted 19 tweets or retweets about “critical race theory” before 10 am DC time this morning. #HavingANormalOne

Remember the FoxNews interview a few months ago where Donald Trump promises a new health care plan in "two weeks?" All...Trump...does...is...lie.

There are people who will say, “They earned it.” Or “They deserve it.” Those people are insane.
The 4 richest men in America have now amassed $542 billion in wealth. That's more than the bottom half of all Americans combined. If this doesn't convince you wealth inequality is out of control, I don't know what will.

Just so we’re all clear -- this is FALSE. Ballots don’t get mailed in CA until next month. And, for those interested in facts you can track your ballot here: WheresMyBallot.sos.ca.gov
My parents, who live in California, just received my voting ballot. I haven't lived in California for 10 years... This mass mail in election is going to go great!

A somber, emotional, raw, and necessary read.
The straight line distance between Washington, D.C. and Dover, Delaware is less than 85 miles. It takes a helicopter about 40-45 minutes to make the trip. I was 19 years-old, and it was my first time riding a helicopter. I barely remember any of it. I was distracted. (thread)

Trump officials are denying the existence of systemic racism.

Biden says there should be live onscreen fact checks during the debates. Absolutely.
