Donald Trump will soon be gone, but the fundamental problems facing this country remain. I am confident @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris will put us on the right path, but they can’t do it alone. Don’t tune out. Get involved. Make a change.

I want you all to take a guess. How many lobbyists do you think the pharmaceutical industry has up on Capitol Hill for the 535 members of Congress? Ready for the answer? OVER 1,500. You want to know why we pay the highest prices on the planet for prescriptions? Start there.

All the Republicans saying we have a moral duty to evacuate Afghans and all the Republicans saying we have a moral duty to keep refugees out of the country are going to have to get together and have a chat real soon.

Members of Congress should not be allowed to trade individual stocks. Period. Put your money in conflict-free investments or pick a different line of work. That’s part of my plan to root out corruption in Washington.

@SenatorLeahy praised Biden for nominating Robinson, calling her “a tireless champion for equal rights and equal justice in the mold of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.” vtdigger.org/2021/08/05/bid…

It’s long been said that data is the new oil. It’s what business runs on, how war is fought, and how prosperity is built. We must tackle it all together. From how we manage data, to how we defend cyber, and how government guides. #data #cybersecurity

The fight for racial justice is not a moment in time, but a centuries long struggle. Real substantive progress will require white Americans, who largely control our systems of power, to push for desperately needed reforms and create a more equal and safe America for all. #justice
New York Times Opinion@nytopinion

Support for Black Lives Matter remains relatively high among racial and ethnic minorities, but among white Americans it has proved both fickle and volatile, write @HakeemJefferson & @pikachudy. nyti.ms/3hLWvgk

While Republican Senators complain we’re not bipartisan enough, McConnell spills the beans: "One-hundred percent of our focus is on stopping this new administration."

Diversity, both in identity and experience, make the @CIA a more effective agency. The insinuation that women are a detriment to this goal is sexist, but not surprising coming from a Senator exponentially more interested in trafficking in manufactured outrage than legislating.
Ted Cruz@tedcruz

Lefties made “Jason Bourne” trend bc they think I don’t know he’s a fictional character. Next, these angry scolds are going to tell me Jack Ryan & James Bond aren’t real either.... My point is that CIA agents should be bad-asses—not woke, fragile flowers needing safe spaces.

Empowered women make every organization stronger and more effective. It’s always great to see Vermont lead the way, but this is just 1 state down and 49 to go.

State leaders across the country must prioritize getting children back in schools safely. We have an obligation to make up for a year of pandemic learning and a generation of underinvestment.

After a year of uncertainty, @GovPeterShumlin (VT) encourages #EdLeaders to look outside the classroom walls to make sure children have access to enriching opportunities. #OpEd @The74 @VTEducation @vtprincipals @vtvsa @VTVSBA @ThisIsVTed @innovativeEd the74million.org/article/gov-sh…
