Unlike my Republican colleagues, I'm in Washington ready to reopen the government & fighting for the people I represent.

Healthcare is a human right. Sharing a few letters from our neighbors with you today:

Democrats are back in DC, ready to get to work. Republicans are nowhere to be found.

It’s time to get back to work, protect health care, and end this Republican shutdown.

AOC: The problem is that the Trump administration, they think that destroying our health care, making sure that housing is too expensive to live in, that jacking up the cost of our groceries—they think all of this is about hurting Democrats. What they are doing is hurting Americans

So my Airbnb canceled on me for PAXU, and now I don’t have a place to stay. I looked for places close to the convention center, but everything is super expensive & I’m not able to pay upfront right now (which I want to).

If anyone has any leads, or is able to help out, that would be amazing. $0/600

White people need to talk to other white people. It is entirely up to the whites to move the needle on their end.

Let me be clear: racism and antisemitism are rampant on *both* sides of the aisle.

You all need to clean house on THIS side of the aisle.

You need to have tough conversations.

You need to watch Eyes on the Prize.

a lot of white people think of racism the way they think of going to the bathroom

Everyone does it, it's not regularly done in public

but sometimes " you just got to " in public because you

"have a good reason"

or " excuse"

In the late 90s the oldest white woman in the world came into the store I worked in, asked to see the manager, saw our manager was Black and yelled that she wanted a white manager, then proudly declared that seeing Black people with authority over white people made her want to spit on them.
