I’ve been a Floridian ever since I was a child. And I have never, ever, seen leadership as awful as Ron DeSantis’s. I’m running for Governor to do something about it. Like this and retweet if you’re with me.

@BrianLehrer As a professor in CT, last summer I held office hours because students were in such crisis at semester’s end. I was exhausted at the end of this academic year. I took a 3 day head-clearing FL drive to spend the summer w/ my 80 yr old mother and check emails every 3 weeks.

NOW: Teachers, how are you spending your summer vacation / taking care of yourself after this tremulous school year? What did you learn from remote learning? What were your biggest successes + what are you excited to leave behind once schools return? Call 646-435-7280 or tweet.

@BrianLehrer @SalazarSenate Alternatively, I am a transnational and a child of immigrants who did exactly what the caller described except, my salary as a professor in a public institution is a 3rd of my student debt and given state budgets, we’re not getting raises. I’ll make 100K in 11yrs

Governor Cuomo says NY needs 15 billion dollars from the federal government or face an austerity budget. Progressive lawmakers say there's another way: tax billionaires. Now: @SalazarSenate on the package of tax bills, and other reforms, she and colleagues are pushing for.

@vanitaguptaCR Welcome back, you’ve been missed. Now, consider all those who caused damage to our sacred buildings in WDC, should pay restitution. It’s only fair. They broke it, they should fix it. A drunk driver would have to pay for damages to highway guardrails. #EqualJustice

I am honored to return to a Justice Department that will push every day for justice, accountability, and equality under the law. It will not be enough to simply restore what has been undermined or lost. This moment demands bold leadership, and that is what we will bring.

Please consider getting involved in anyway you can: donate time as a mentor and/or expert or offer to pay for a girl’s experience. Happy Thanksgiving 💕

Congratulations @JoeBiden our 46th POTUS and @KamalaHarris VP. 💃Onward! A good day for the US and the world. Now @PreetBharara for #AttorneyGeneral

@BrianLehrer @henryolsenEPPC I voted in Fairfield County CT because there’s no early voting. As a naturalized citizen of 7 years it was important to show up in person #BidenHarris2020 . Took 15 minutes #feminist #VoteDemocrat

NOW: @henryolsenEPPC joins with his 2020 predictions for the presidential and congressional races. Tune in at wnyc.org.

25 days. Let’s win this thing.

A loving world starts with a loving home. Watch OREO's new film #ProudParent

#Debate2020 I’ve seen the trailer no need to stay for the main features. Please @JoeBiden you can refuse to debate again because you just can’t fix this level of DT stupidity. #Democrat #WomenForBidenHarris

@ChrisMurphyCT One should never watch a debate and come away with fear. But that happened tonight.

Pinocchio never lied as much as Trump did at the debate. His nose will grow so long he will have to hire a handler just to hold up his orange nose.

This is Donald Trump’s America after one term. Why would we give him a second?

I’m attending 2020 Victory’s event, “New York September Debate Pre-Program + Watch Party with Senator Gillibrand & Attorney General James” – sign up now to join me! mobilize.us/2020victory/ev…

Nothing random about the murders in Kenosha. You don’t get a white 17 year old killing protestors w/ an AR-15 w/out the President first vilifying protestors, a gun lobby that has cowed Congress into allowing the sale of weapons of war, & a racism stoked by Trump & his enablers.
