Before I was a politician, I was a proud union member. I’m honored to stand with my union brothers and sisters on Labor Day and every day. In the Senate, I’ll fight to raise pay, lower costs, and empower Texas workers.

At some point, “history will judge them” isn’t enough. Corruption. Gerrymandering. Closing polling locations. The damage is happening NOW. So should the accountability. #VoteBlue 🗳️ #SheShed

Chemotherapy is usually standard treatment for cancers. But they are not necessarily tailored to each patient. Vaccines are a game changer b/c they can be applied to all cancers, since they involve genetic mutations. They harness the patient's own immune system. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I remember when 241 Marines were killed in a barracks explosion in Beirut, it came out that Reagan twice had refused to allow them to be relocated for safety saying it showed weakness, then he deflected 100% of the blame on the military, careers ended, he didn’t earn the name teflon Ron for nothing

Reagan will prove to be the beginning of the end of our democracy unless we wake the hell up and obliterate the GOP starting with November

That Reagan got away with it helped create the culture of grift and lawlessness that has come to define the Republicans.

#Denmark built so much wind that some blustery hours the turbines out-produce what the whole country is using. When that happens, the extra power doesn’t sit idle. It moves through Denmark’s links into the wider European network and heads to neighbors like Germany, Norway, Sweden. #ActOnClimate

The ultra-wealthy keep trying to pit the rest of us against each other with scare tactics ("communists!" "men in the ladies room!!" "brown people!!!" "drag queens!!!!") to keep us from noticing that our real problem is THEM. They want us to fight *any* war—except a class war. Happy Labor Day.

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

Today, I voted YES to release the names of Members of Congress who used taxpayer dollars to settle sexual misconduct and other misconduct cases in Congress. No more abuses of power and no more hiding behind a system that shields perpetrators. We will always fight for justice for survivors—period.

The real headline from the birthright‑citizenship case isn’t the outcome. It’s that four Supreme Court justices signaled they believe a president can effectively rewrite the Constitution through executive order.

I met my first bunch of great internet people, in real life, because of Colbert and Jon Stewart. We are still friends. He and all his writers are wonderful people and this isn’t how shows should be ended.

33 years. Countless laughs. One hell of a writing staff. Tonight, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert signs off. The writers who made it an institution — our members — go out the way they came in: with integrity, solidarity, and the best jokes in the room.

CBS cancelling Colbert is the ultimate proof that the far right are, and always have been, the real censors. The far-right is literally anti-culture, and hates comedy. They will actually cancel you for telling a joke about the president.

USA has been stolen by criminal thugs. And they control all the tools of maximum violence. This won’t end well

Trump is definitely worse, but he's the result of decades of mostly deliberate change. America isn't like this because of Trump, Trump happened because America was like this, or close to it. Getting him out is important, but it's the tip of the iceberg.

What you see in the Sun, is the Chicago skyline from the Indiana Dunes beach, across Lake Michigan. You can see it from 50 miles of distance due to a form of superior mirage, because the skyline is seen above where it's actually located. [📷 wesskywalker]

"Attacks"?? Settlers terrorists have murdered nearly 900 Palestinians in the West Bank, including infants and toddlers. They steal or kill domestic animals, burn down homes and businesses, destroy olive groves and act like the SS on steroids...with the collusion of the IDF. Full on Nazis.

BREAKING: SB 2471 has been signed into law! It’s the first of its kind in the nation and renders the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision irrelevant in Hawaii. This is a win for the movement to get big money, especially dark money, out of politics.
