Unprecedented, historic corruption: an American president commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of lying to shield that very president.

Thank you for your service, Chasten.

It was. See: The last four years.

#MyNameIs Rajit, which means "honored" or "decorated", and it's hurtful to hear David Perdue deliberately mispronounce Kamala Harris's name in order to score political points. Come on, GOP, can't your party be better than this?

The Bible tells us that to everything there is a season — a time to build, a time to reap, a time to sow. And a time to heal. This is the time to heal in America.

ACTION NEEDED! Republicans in the House just blocked an effort for $2,000 checks. The House will now be voting again next Monday. Survival checks are desperately needed for the millions in TX and across the country suffering due the economic fallout from the pandemic. (thread)

I'm proud of the #BidenAdministration for positioning the US firmly on the right side of history with the decision on energy imports today

Happy Disability Pride Month!
