I'm proud to serve as President of the Freshman Class of Democrats in this upcoming Congress. The 34 of us are ready to take on our country's greatest challenges and stand up for working people across America. Let's meet these incredible new members. A thread 🧵

America's dying hinterlands are depressing to some. To me, they appear to offer the greatest opportunities ever afforded a single generation in our nation's history - if we move carefully and deliberately. (a hopeful thread) 1/15

I'm looking to talk to young people (under the age of 40) who have experience starting a company and who have parents who: -do not own their home (they rent), and/or -did not graduate from college My DM's are open. Thank you!

Wie reiche Medienbesitzer leichtgläubige Menschen zu Ausländerfeindlichkeit aufhetzen. Das sind (nicht zufällig) dieselben, die Klimaleugner-Propaganda verbreiten. Hier im Cartoon Rupert Murdoch, zu dessen Imperium Newscorp gehören Fox News, Wall Street Journal u.v.a..

My favorite documentary shorts from Sundance Film Festival this year: - The Baddest Speechwriter of All – Clarence Jones (Juilliard-trained musician turned MLK’s lawyer & speechwriter!) made me cry + shared new details about familiar civil rights history - The Boys and the Bees – an
