Ossoff: We would be naive not to expect dirty tricks. This man tried to steal the presidency when he lost it the first time. The best insurance against dirty tricks is landslide margins of victory.

And in final passage votes, the #WALeg Senate Ways & Means Committee has voted to advance the Millionaires Tax! 🥳

A huge thank you to committee Democrats for keeping the bill intact from bad amendments, and to all the everyday folks who testified in support on Friday!

After watching Bad Bunny’s halftime show I’m so proud to be an American. Puerto Rico represents! Beautiful Spanish language, people of color filling my TV screen. This is what makes America great and it’s what I will always fight for.

I fast forwarded through TPUSA” We hate immigrants and all people of color and want them off of our TV Half Time show” It was very weird. It was on a sound stage with maybe 25 audience members. It was like karaoke at the local VFW with less talented singers. It was a joke. #ProudBlue #USDemocracy
