This vote by Senate Republicans is unconscionable. As my friend @SenatorTester says it is an act of cowardice. Our veterans face enough health care issues without also being held hostage by Republicans pouting over modest tax increases for corporations and reducing drug prices

Truly inspiring to be at the Presidential Medal of Freedom Award Ceremony today. I am honored to call Fred Gray a friend and so proud for him and the State of Alabama. This is a recognition long overdue.

This year is very different for me. After losing my husband in July, I'm bolstered by the love and support of friends and family during this season. This program and stories help tremendously.

Ala. Is last in physical health, & providers, but for politics has refused to expand Medicaid and protect rural hospitals.

Unbelievable.
The police department in Rochester, New York, released body-camera footage showing a 9-year-old girl being handcuffed and pepper-sprayed by officers who had responded to a family disturbance call. nyti.ms/3ctIEZm

"How are you going to do a manhunt for people who spent hours doing their crimes on live TV and then, as I just showed you, got escorted out by those officers?" @AriMelber on the insurrection at Capitol Hill
