JUST, WOW.😍 Grab the popcorn because the @NASAPersevere rover has sent us a one-of-kind video of her Mars landing. For the first time in history, we can see multiple angles of what it looks like to touch down on the Red Planet. #CountdownToMars

For years, Republicans were obedient to Trump’s every whim. They stood by his failed COVID response. His lies. His impeachment. His corrupt pardons. His efforts to overturn the election. But $2,000 checks to help Americans? That’s where they draw the line? Pass the bill.

After receiving the best socialized health care in the world Trump just said "no" to providing any relief to the unemployed, the uninsured or the hungry. But he's still pushing the Senate to confirm a Supreme Court nominee who will strip health care from 20 million. How pathetic.

If we can afford to give a $1 trillion tax break to the top 1% and large corporations and $740 billion to the Pentagon, please don't tell me we cannot afford to provide $2,000 a month to the working class, $600 a week to unemployed workers and expand Medicare to all.

Donald Trump's decision to violently confront peaceful protesters was not only an act of cowardice, but a direct affront to the values we hold sacred.

George Floyd was murdered on tape and the officers who killed him still haven't been arrested. At a time when the president should be bringing this country together, he instead sends racist tweets inciting violence. We demand accountability, justice, and systemic change.

My mom has Alzheimer’s. She had covid and spent 2 weeks restrained to a hospital bed because she had no idea wtf was going on. She was scared, sick and alone. We couldn’t hold her hand or be with her. It doesn’t always have to be about you. Protect the people around you.

Mr. President: Oregon has been voting by mail for 22 years. We just had a great election yesterday. It was safe, secure, accessible. And we protected public health. What more do you need to know to be convinced, @realDonaldTrump?

Thank you, Amiga! Wishing you good health during these uncertain times. I hope I can count on you to join me on May 16 for a 90th Birthday Celebration and Live-Stream Benefit with the @DoloresHuertaFD. #SiSePuede
Happy 90th birthday to my dear friend and iconic labor rights leader, @DoloresHuerta. Your commitment to fighting for farm worker and immigrant rights is truly an inspiration to us all. May your day be filled with the same warmth and grace that you bestow upon others.
