Now is the time for all Americans to speak up when history is being erased, books are being banned, and diversity is being attacked.

I'm glad that my Administration’s infrastructure investments are so popular that even Speaker McCarthy is trying to take credit for them, despite voting against them. That’s alright. I’ll see him at the next groundbreaking.

Everyone retweet this and expose @EliseStefanik for the fraud she is. She’s bragging about money from a bill she voted against. The GOP doesn’t care about people. They care about power. And they know people love Biden’s bill. Share far and wide!! politico.com/minutes/congres…

Hey @Ryanair, my parents who are in their 70s and 80s, had accidentally downloaded the return flight boarding card instead of the outgoing ones and you charged them £110 to print them at the airport. £110 for 2 pieces of paper which took 1 minute. Shame on you – at La Sauvetat-du-Dropt, France

In just hours, they were tried, convicted, and beheaded for treason. Brother and sister Hans and Sophie Scholl and their friend Christoph Probst were members of the “White Rose" resistance group. They spoke up when so many other Germans remained silent. #InternationalYouthDay

My name is Francine Finkielsztaj. I was born in Paris on July 28th, 1941. In July 1943, I was deported to Auschwitz and separated from my parents. My last memory is being carried into a shower room. Then the room started to fill with gas. Remember us, please.

I firmly condemn the Russian strikes on Ukrainian grain storage and export infrastructure. As Russia continues its ruthless war, we continue to support Ukraine.   Today we paid another €1.5 billion, to help keep the state running and repair infrastructure.   More will come.

1/Please share this thread on behalf of my physician colleague, Eunice Stallman, who is facing the nightmare of her 9mo daughter, Zoey, being diagnosed with brain cancer several weeks ago. @BlueCrossIdaho has added to their anguish by obstructing access to vital treatment.

WHOA. Morgan Stanley, one of the largest banks in the US, now credits BIDENOMICS for producing an “unexpected surge” in our economy & says this Bidenomics is “driving a boom in large-scale infrastructure.” Bidenomics is working. We must shout this from the rooftops.

Holy shit. The outrage & anger we see from VP Kamala Harris right here over Florida wanting people to believe that slavery BENEFITED enslaved people is what all of us should be feeling. This is the Kamala Harris we must see more of. So good.

I know that a lot of you are frustrated with some of the Supreme Court's recent decisions. I am, too.    But just being disappointed isn’t going to get us anywhere. We’ve got to remember that our elections — from the White House to the local courthouse — play a critical role in what becomes law.

In 1984. Recent law school grad Greg Abbott was jogging in the affluent Houston, Texas suburb of River Oaks. When he jogged past Divorce attorney Roy Moore's home. A giant oak tree broke and tragically fell on Greg Abbott. Crushing his spine and leaving him paralyzed. Uninsured and unemployed. Abbott had no health insurance. He had over $81,000 in hospital bills. He sued. Abbott got his hospital bills paid and received over $5.7 million dollars in payouts from Moore's home insurance and the tree services company who failed to detect the tree was rotten inside. Still to this day Greg Abbott gets a monthly check that includes cost of living increases each year. And will receive a check for the rest of his life. When Abbott was on the Texas Supreme court . He voted to decrease the amount of money someone in a similar situation could receive. Gregg Abbott supported capping non medical damages in cases like his at $250,000. A reward like the multi million dollars in payouts Abbott received and still receives each and every month till the day he dies would be impossible today. Of course these bills were crafted to not be retroactive. So they do not affect Greg Abbotts payments. Gregg Abbott does everything he can to hurt us Texans. While he laughs all the way to the bank every month with his very generous monthly check that he happily denies to another Texan who is injured in the same way as Abbott was. It goes without saying. This is another example of a GOP hypocrite. OK for me but not for any other Texan. That should be Gov. Greg Abbotts theme song for his life. What a despicable man who cares nothing about anyone's pain and suffering. He got his and to Abbot and the GOP. That's all that matters. @NewBlueUSA #DemVoice1
