Help us stock up for the people our elected officials have failed.

In Tennessee, too many people are forced to go without basic necessities.

That’s why we’re holding a period products drive as part of The Collective Good

Just another of DJT’s wealthy donors put in charge of an agency that he wants to destroy…do we see the pattern yet? I know there are people who care deeply but it kills me that so many people don’t. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/senat.... 🤦‍♀️

The most significant takeaway from today's UK trade announcement for me is that for a country that a) the US has a rare trade surplus with and b) had already been negotiating with the US for ~a decade, the best the UK could get was a 10% baseline tariff with very few exemptions

Restoring Gold Standard Science is an EO signed by 47 on a holiday weekend Fri night. Section 7 sounds awfully like some B💩 he can appoint a political “administrator” to oversee all scientific studies, and if that person doesn’t like the study or the results, then what do you think happens??

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”

He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”

Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.

Marriott still has my business.
