Remember, everyone, that today is a day of JOY! A CELEBRATION of our devotion to democracy, freedom, and justice. Don’t let anyone steal your joy today. And don’t get down about the shitstorm of hate and lies they spew. This is a LOVE AMERICA RALLY. And they WILL hear us.

Senate is back in session today. 1/ So a quick 🧵on where things are at on the shutdown. You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

If you are ever in the Charlotte area, you MUST stop at Cleary’s in Mount Holly, NC. They have the best curated selection of children’s and YA stock I’ve ever seen. Thank you to Cleary’s and my dear friend Faith Huff for a wonderful evening!

What Trump promised: - helping reduce cost of living - helping working class folks generally What Trump is delivering: - costs keep going up, up, up - working class folks losing their jobs - healthcare and medication costs explode - yet Elon Musk is getting MILLIONS in govt $

This is awesome! Thank you!!

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

What stood out to me is the last line about Columbia FORCING their criminals into the US. I don't recall hearing about any flights loaded with known criminals being sent to the US by any foreign government. On the other hand, Trump forced 1500 known criminals onto the streets of the US.

Cool. Cool. We are already 50th in starting teacher pay and 49th in educational funding and Missourians spend $700/year more than drivers in nearby states because of our shitty roads. I’m sure eliminating the state income tax will help Missouri’s defunded public schools and crumbling roads.
