    RT @Acyn: OBAMA on Rick Jackson: You can always tell a politician is really in touch with working folk when he calls a gas station a gas store.

    RT @BarackObama: Dolores Huerta was a hero of mine. When she co-founded the National Farm Workers Association in 1962, people thought Dolores was crazy. “How are you going to organize farm workers,” she remembered being asked. "They are poor, powerless immigrants.” But that’s exactly what she did, helping thousands of migrant laborers working in brutal conditions make their voices heard, and demand something better. Dolores spent the rest of her life fighting for marginalized communities, even as she herself faced sexism and abuse — including, as she revealed earlier this year, from Cesar Chavez and others within her own movement. She also came up with a pretty good slogan, “Si, se puede” — Yes, we can — that I too often get credit for. But as usual, Dolores got there first. Michelle and I are thinking of Dolores’s family, the people whose lives she changed, and everyone who drew inspiration from her example. Photo credit: National Archives, Obama Presidential Library

    RT @SenWhitehouse: They ignore the irony of the present FBI Director, “Poodle Room” Patel, regularly lying to Congress.

    Vance’s reason Alaskans can’t read the word incumbent: “People have jobs.”
    Aaron Rupar @atrupar
    Q: Why shouldn't Alaskans find it insulting that the administration is suggesting they can't read the word 'incumbent' on their ballot and know to vote for Sen. Sullivan? JD VANCE: People are busy. People have lives. People have jobs.

    RT @realBobWoodward: The first excerpt of my upcoming memoir, Secrets, is out in print in the @NewYorker. It is about Richard G. Darman, who was one of my important secret sources in the Reagan and Bush administrations—and my best friend. I write about some of the painful consequences of getting too close to a source and how it changed my approach to reporting. Secrets is available for early preorder at the link or via @amazonbooks @BNBuzz @Target @Walmart @booksamillion

    RT @mehdirhasan: JD Vance's in-laws' names are Radhakrishna Chilukuri and Lakshmi Chilukuri. I wonder if he tells them this stuff, too. To their faces. Or does he just save it for white MAGA rallies? Truly a racist pathetic embarrassment of a son-in-law to his brown Indian immigrant in-laws.

    VANCE on 9/11: I remember driving to a local gas station to wait hours in line for gasoline that was now of course more expensive because of a region of the world made up of countries and names that I cannot even pronounce

    RT @SteveRattner: Interest on the national debt topped $1 trillion this fiscal year. That’s $87 billion more than we spent on defense.
