The #PACTAct has passed the Senate! This is for all our brave veterans, and especially for all those who fought so hard in their final days to make sure no one else would go through what they did.

Tonight, we are honoring Staff Sgt. Wesley Black, who fought for this cause until the very end, and all those who couldn’t be here today to see the #PACTAct pass.

Rosie and Lee Roy Torres almost lost it all because of his toxic exposure in Balad...instead, they won, for all others who served. Love you guys.

We have shared a lot of laughs, tears, sorrow, a marching band, long nights, a camp out, bad actors, but in the end, we did it. This, is America! @jonstewart @johnfeal2 @Burnpit360

Will we stand by passively and forget this in two weeks? All our fears are being realized. Make it a law. What is Democracy when the majority no longer rules?
The majority of Americans support Roe v. Wade. Making abortions illegal won't make them go away. It will only make them more dangerous, more expensive, and lead to the criminalization of poor women and women of color and others who need abortions. 1/3

I'll be over here wondering why why no one is investigating the seven Republican senators who went to Moscow in 2018.

An 'invasion' is not 'peacekeeping.' Just like an 'insurrection' is not 'legitimate political discourse.'

What if Trump comes out in support of Putin instead of Biden? Would THAT be enough for republicans to pull their heads out of their collective asses? Oh, and it could happen.

Access journalism for profit while democracy dies. None of this was important enough to report in real time though.

Republicans are not afraid of Critical Race Theory. They don’t even know what it is. They’re afraid of theories critical of racists. They know what they are. --John Pavlovitz

I don't think this counts unless he posts a pic of himself writing the apology.

On a recent Zoom call with progressive activists, Jamie Raskin said that upcoming hearings by the Jan. 6 select committee will “blow the roof off the House.” He added that the committee has now spoken with over 400 witnesses, and he referred to Trump as a "walking crime wave."

To the people who told me to “calm down” in 2016: A twice impeached serial sexual predator who incited a deadly insurrection & plotted an actual coup in an attempt to install himself as a dictator, got to appoint THREE lifetime seats to the Supreme Court. So, f*ck you.
