Watched @TheLastDuelFilm on a plane; debriefed the plot & Matt Damon's hairstyle with friends, and ended up with this joke. Enjoy, s'il vous plaît.

CNN's @ddale8 says while Joe Biden was "largely accurate" during tonight's presidential debate, "we had an avalanche of lying from President Trump."
He says at points during the debate, "almost every single thing (Trump) said ... was inaccurate" #Debates2020

The AFFH rule that Trump ripped up was about helping cities address our country’s ugly legacy of government-backed housing discrimination and segregation.
This is blatant racism from the President of the United States. And it’s disgusting.

The advice, direction, and hard work of more than 130 Latinx leaders from across Massachusetts have been critical to the success of our campaign. Together, we will continue to deliver for and protect Latinx and immigrant communities across our state and country. #AquíConMarkey

Hi folks, @MassDCR is getting complaints of bicyclists speeding on the Blue Hill summit descent. There have also been some collisions between cyclists and other park users. Please keep closer to the 10mph speed limit, and save the speeding for open roads (Unquity & Chickatawbut). – at Milton, MA

I'm supporting Tim Kaine’s NDAA amendment to ban the use of military force against civilians. We've seen too many weapons of war used against peaceful protestors and military forces patrolling our streets. It's morally reprehensible—and should be illegal.

Qualified immunity shields law enforcement and government officials from accountability for their actions.

Update about #WellsAve even though @usacycling has cancelled all race events till May 3rd, our stand is that we won’t hold a race till we feel it is safe to do so. We will keep you all posted on this. #COVID19 #StaySafeStayHome

"I don't take responsibility at all."
- Trump. March 13, 2020.
This quote will be etched in history. Just remember it.

Elizabeth Warren was the perfect test case: as smart or smarter than Hillary, just as prepared, just as qualified.
AND she didn't have her baggage,
AND she was a known progressive hero,
AND she turned out to be a fantastic campaigner.
And still. and still. and still.

Well before we were elected to Congress, @ewarren and I took on the big banks together during the foreclosure crisis. I knew then what remains clear to this day: she is an incredible leader, a fighter, and a dear friend. I have nothing but praise for her.
Thank you, Elizabeth.
