Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

This! Do your jobs. The ones you were elected to do. The ones you are being PAID to do, while NOT doing any work. While federal employees are working WITHOUT being paid.
Week 6 of the shutdown and we want solutions – not images of Trump's Halloween party or an empty House chamber.
People are missing paychecks, losing healthcare, and struggling to feed their families.
It's time Republicans get back to Washington and do their jobs.

The humor, the clarity, the razor-sharp assessment by Obama that it’s all a distraction from their ongoing efforts to make life worse for everyday Americans. More please, President Obama.
Obama: "They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and blame DEI for every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? Must be DEI. Your wife kicked you out? DEI. Who knew?"

This is so infuriating and wrong and appaling.
They spent millions, swarmed an entire building, terrorized and abused an entire community in the middle of the night, traumatized men, women, and children and ended up with “two suspected gang members”?
Wow, they did all that and got *two* suspected gang members? Suspected? Wow. And two of them? Wow.
Plus a guy with a previous charge of marihuana possession? Wow.
Wow, that is impressive. Wow, when are we throwing these heroes a parade? Wow.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important
⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater.
The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.
