Today, we honor all our veterans who have defended and fought for our democracy. They prove that we are a nation that can meet darkness with light, no matter how high the cost or how heavy the burden. May we all strive to be worthy of their sacrifices for us.

TWEEPS: In the days since the election, my account has lost 23,000 followers -- mostly bots, I assume. But I wanted to make sure Elmo isn't unfollowing us from each other once again. Do me a favor: RT this and check to make sure we're still following each other, as we'll get through this together. Please and thank you! 🙏💪

Senator @ewarren is marvelous. The nation — not to mention the Commonwealth of Massachusetts — is blessed to have her in our corner.

As we were all Haitian when they attacked Haitians in Ohio… today, we must all be Puerto Ricans! When they come for one, they come for us all!!!

These headlines from major news orgs deserve significant awareness (Time, WSJ, Politico, CNN) but will get very few retweets - as they’ll be suppressed due to their linking out. “Speakers at Trump MSG rally insult minorities.”

Mic drop. Please retweet.

BREAKING: Republican Governor of South Carolina, Henry McMaster, just personally fact checked Donald Trump’s claims that FEMA aid was not getting to residents. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this incredible praise of the Biden-Harris Administration.

The first sitting President to walk a picket line. Happy Labor Day.

Join childless cat ladies, cat lady mothers, pet owners of all categories in supporting @VP @KamalaHarris. And, don't forget, Vance thinks anyone without a child is worth less than those who do, and he's against IVF. @JDVance is unworthy of your vote.

Vance is as big a mistake as Sarah Palin. Love this song.

I’m really tired of the WaPo and NYT trying their damnedest to force Biden to drop out of the race.

I find it extraordinary that Congress is very quick to bring forth bills and resolutions condemning student protesters, but there has been minimal discussion about what these young people are actually protesting.

Residents of Eagle Pass ahead of Trump’s visit today: “Mr. Trump, change your ways. What you’re doing is you’re hurting the people that need the most help…You are not welcome” H/t @PoliticusSarah

Wow. Everyone needs to read the new statement from the Biden campaign about Trump’s deranged and dangerous speech tonight.

This is what I’m talking about.

Yes, the Tracy Chapman / Luke Combs performance mattered because it was a connection across supposed divides, but it also mattered because Combs embodied unbridled joy, admiration,and respect for Chapman, something we see FAR too rarely when these sorts of bridges are celebrated.

Why does flying suck so much these days? Here are five things that ruined air travel (and the rest of our economy).

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this. This extreme SCOTUS used a MADE-UP case to directly attack millions of LGTBQ Americans. It’s a slap in the face to everyone who cares about equal justice under the law. newrepublic.com/article/1740…

“Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.” -- Aeschylus, Daddy's favorite poet. 55 years.

Retweet if you agree: IT’S THE DAMN GUNS. #GunReform
