Republicans across the country are trying to take credit for covid recovery programs that they voted against.
This is what it looks like when a party has no desire to help people and no respect for the truth. teapawt.net/MEPFuller/status/13892…
Good to see Kevin McCarthy joining the list of Republicans to tout the Restaurant Revitalization Fund, which he and all other Republicans voted against.

This moment demands moral leadership. And these players answered by standing up, speaking out, and using their platform for good.
Now is not the time for silence.

What a moment to remember.
What a courageous journey in life.
What a powerful path in death.
We will miss you, but we’re grateful.
For all of your “good trouble”...
Thank you. #JohnLewis

Powerful. My trip to Montgomery and Selma a few years ago opened my eyes to the great struggles shouldered by great men like John Lewis.

As John Lewis’ caisson made its way over the Edmund Pettus bridge, you could hear people weeping, some cheering, some saying “Thank you.”

John Lewis’ casket was just taken from the historic Brown Chapel AME Church here in Selma and placed onto a horse-drawn carriage, which will now carry his body one last time across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, where Lewis was infamously beaten in 1965.
