For 55 years, Sesame Street has welcomed all children to learn and play with our furry friends, friendly monsters, and warm and gentle grown-ups. Everyone has a place on Sesame Street and has since our first episode premiered on November 10th, 1969. Happy #SesameStreetDay

Biden made banks stop surprising you with hidden charges. That's gone now. $35 insulin is gone. Medicare negotiating drug prices--gone. EPA, HHS, Dept of Energy--gone. All consumer protections--gone. Dept of Labor. National Hurricane Center. NOAA. National Parks. 1/6

The greatest generation.

Colorado saw one of the smallest rightward shifts in the national red wave, with more than a dozen counties in Colorado swinging farther toward Democrats. ft.com/content/392e1e… #copolitics

Madame Vice President you ran a great campaign. In 107 days you introduced yourself to the American people and defined what disqualified your opponent. You raised a billion dollars within a matter of days and put together a coalition of the most diverse group of American citizenry. You presented a measure of hope and optimism while displaying intelligence and discipline. You were pragmatic, deliberate, insightful, inspiring, and positive. You were the epitome of a political scientist and your campaign left everything on the field. You were our last best hope for an American aesthetic that millions of us are in pursuit of. I am honored to have been a part of this campaign and I look forward to working with you further to protect our democracy and form a more perfect union. May the ancestors give you enlightenment. May God continue to bless you all the days of your life. Thank you for your service.

As someone who DOESN'T live in a swing state, I'm gonna say this with my full chest: I'm tired of 7 fucking states deciding the fate of 50 states.

Stock markets at record highs, low unemployment, wage growth exceeds inflation, the best handling of inflation of any G7 nation, energy independence, and I can go on and on and on...But no matter how this result lands, whether VP Harris ekes this out or not, it is amazing how unappreciated successful governance was in this election and how Americans are so willing to bring back into office the guy who caused all the destruction.

@4NIKKOLAS I’m so sorry. This is truly devastating to watch 😫😥

not gonna lie, holding my 4 year old son in my arms while half the country votes to end the department of education really sucks…

For the first time in history, the United States has a sitting congressperson who is transgender. Congratulations to Sarah McBride, whose race was just called by MSNBC. She wins in a year where a historic amount of anti-trans ads were blared across TV screens in America.

give it up for Lexi, folks

PRESIDENT NYGREN ENDORSES HARRIS-WALZ TICKET Yá’atééh … Election Day is here! We need to ensure our voices are heard and our votes are counted tomorrow, Tuesday, November 5th. I want to share why I’m supporting Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz—leaders who respect our culture and are committed to building a brighter future for all Native Nations. Vice President Harris, alongside President Biden, has achieved historic milestones for Tribal communities. Through the American Rescue Plan, we received $2 billion for essential resources—funds that have helped with infrastructure, housing, clean water, and high-speed internet across the Navajo Nation. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law added $13 billion for Tribal communities, including $123 million specifically for the Navajo Gallup Water Supply Project. The Biden-Harris administration has made public safety a priority, establishing the “Not Invisible Act Commission” to address the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous people. Through the Violence Against Women Act, our jurisdiction over certain crimes on Tribal lands has expanded, providing better protections for our families. Also, Executive Order 14112 has reformed federal funding to prioritize Tribal decision-making, empowering our communities to shape our future. In healthcare, the Biden-Harris administration secured the first-ever advance appropriations for the Indian Health Service, with $8 billion planned for FY2025. This commitment ensures continuity in healthcare for our people—a promise finally fulfilled. Governor Walz has also championed Native communities in his own state and across the nation. As governor, he became the first to visit all 11 Tribal nations in Minnesota, establishing government-to-government relations and codifying Tribal consultation into law. He’s a proven ally who listens and respects our voices. He has prioritized public safety by establishing the first state-level office for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives, ensuring justice and protection for Native communities. And under his administration, Minnesota invested in preserving Native languages, strengthening cultural preservation and education for future generations—a commitment he will bring to the national stage. This is why I, as President of the Navajo Nation, and my wife, our First Lady Jasmine Blackwater-Nygren – former Arizona State Representative and an attorney – support the Harris/ Walz ticket. I believe they will help us reclaim our traditions, protect our sovereignty, and honor the sacrifices of our ancestors. Navajo Nation, let us make our voices heard this Tuesday, November 5th. Under Kamala Harris & Tim Walz, every Native American person will matter equally. Together as one nation, President Kamala Harris and Vice-President Walz will be thinking for the future of the Navajo Nation. #ElectionDay2024 #NavajoNation #BuuNygren #DinéVote #OurVoiceOurFuture #ThinkForTheFuture

Important reminder for North Carolina voters who haven't yet put mail-in ballots in the mail: DONT! NC no longer allows ballots to arrive after the election. You'll need to deliver it to your county elections office (or go vote in person) tomorrow #ncpol wral.com/story/haven-t-…

On this day in 1968, Shirley Chisholm became first black woman elected to the United States Congress.

Kamala, thank you for the compassion and joy you’ve brought to our politics. Your leadership is what our country needs. I could not be prouder to be in this with you. You will make an incredible President of the United States.

America could wake up on Wednesday with all three branches of our government — the — Executive, Legislative, and Judicial — Trumpist. With this clip, take five minutes to ponder Germany’s memorials and the price that nation paid for being bamboozled by a bombastic autocrat. Listen to the heartfelt message of my German tour guides, for whom these memorials are like ghosts of mistakes made and evils allowed… ghosts that haunt their society still. These are the same guides who clink glasses in the beer halls and yodel from the hilltops with our American tour members. They admire America. They love America. And they are worried for America. If we vote for fascism, it’ll likely be won by one or two percent (or even less)…and perhaps just a few stadiums of people will tip the balance. And history has taught my European friends that the cost of a course correction is infinitely more heartbreaking after a wannabe dictator wins an election than before. We are all participants, we are all responsible, and we will all bear the consequences of our collective choice.

Something to ponder as you head out to vote today, for free. In the Library's Rosa Parks Papers collection, there's a receipt for the poll tax she had to pay to vote in Alabama in 1956. Poll taxes, a Jim Crow-era voter suppression tool, were not abolished federally until 1964.

I have been asked on two different networks and by two different male hosts today whether abortion rights are as important to women as the economy. I can't say it more clearly: reproductive freedom is economic freedom. They are intrinsically intwined, as every woman knows.
