Dear @Delta, surely you understand how silly it is that a #PlatinumMedallion customer cannot book their spouse on the same reservation when using miles for one ticket and paying for the other. We sure would like to travel together and both receive the benefits we otherwise would.

Your annual reminder that the Tonys are spelled just like that: the Tonys. No apostrophe. Just the Tonys. (The Tonys won by Tony Kushner are Tony's Tonys. The Tonys won by Tony Kushner and Tony Shalhoub are Tonys' Tonys.)

We should reinstate the ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines that we passed in 1994. In the ten years it was law, mass shootings went down. After Republicans let the law expire in 2004 — and those weapons were allowed to be sold again — mass shootings tripled.

I knew it. Kyle Rittenhouse is proof that white people can still break the law, carry illegal weapons, shoot and kill people, and get away with it in America by shedding tears and claiming self-defense.

@USPSHelp, how can I track a package that was transferred to you for delivery by UPS but was never delivered? Your site does not recognize the UPS tracking number, which is the only one I have. TYIA.

The right to vote should not be controversial. Every politician blocking this bill—and more importantly disenfranchising voters, particularly in Black and brown communities—should be ashamed. But, as @VP Harris put it, "the fight's not over." #ForThePeople apnews.com/article/0cd91c559…

If you can only win an election by making it harder to vote, you should not hold elected office.

This shooter was able to kill 8 people the same day he purchased a gun, but right now the Georgia legislature is trying to prevent people from voting the same day they register. That’s a distortion of values.

It matters whether you continue to wear a mask. It matters whether you continue to socially distance. It matters whether you wash your hands. It all matters and can help save lives.

Thank you! I would be nowhere without the women whose footsteps I dance in. While reciting my poem, I wore a ring with a caged bird—a gift from @Oprah for the occasion , to symbolize Maya Angelou, a previous inaugural poet. Here’s to the women who have climbed my hills before.
I have never been prouder to see another young woman rise! Brava Brava, @TheAmandaGorman! Maya Angelou is cheering—and so am I.

Every headline about Dr. Rachel Levine addresses that she’s trans but almost none tout her impeccable qualifications. Worse still, some just relegate her to a nameless “transgender woman.” Fucking do better, @AP apne.ws/0Y4dpnA
