FCC Chairman Brendan Carr just posted this picture saying: “Great to be with President Trump this weekend.”
Last night he posted a screenshot of Trump’s post calling for Seth Meyers to be fired from NBC.
This is not normal. Do not normalize Trump and his corrupt regime.

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.
I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

Reopening the government is a basic job duty for the party in charge.
No one should have to choose between providing their families food or healthcare. Yet Republicans are determined to deny both—they put politics over people. They must end the shutdown without robbing families of basic needs.

A functioning government is the bare minimum.
Working families deserve more than this short-term deal that Congress has finally passed. We deserve affordable groceries, accessible healthcare, and leaders who actually work for us.

Educators deserve balance. But a new @RAND.org report shows that most teachers struggle to find work-life balance, and too few school districts are taking steps to help. Smaller class sizes, more planning time, and supportive leadership make all the difference.
