What. The. Hell. Extreme House Republicans want to cut funding for low-income schools by 80%. This is the same party that passed $1.9 trillion in tax cuts for the rich. When it’s for the poor, we can’t afford it. When it’s for the rich, it’s business as usual.

It's time to prioritize commonsense gun safety measures that combat the heartbreaking gun violence epidemic. The Department of Justice must take bold action against violent extremists threatening our society. There's nothing more that we desire than a safer future for all.

This is back to school in America. Run, hide, fight. Jump out of windows. Barricade behind doors in classrooms, dorms and bathrooms. Duck and cover. Hide under desks. Text your parents goodbye.

So we’re clear: The Supreme Court ended affirmative action yesterday by saying you CAN’T discriminate by helping a minority group, then turned around today and said you CAN discriminate by hurting them.

The court's decision is clear: if you have a "back door connection" based on legacy and connection with employees [read as more likely to be ⚪️] - then affirmative action is ok. But if you have been systematically discriminated against, then you're on your own. #America
I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

There's something wrong with a country that believes canceling $757,000,000,000 in PPP loans stimulates the economy, but student debt cancellation won't
