Republicans across the country are trying to take credit for covid recovery programs that they voted against.
This is what it looks like when a party has no desire to help people and no respect for the truth. teapawt.org/MEPFuller/status/13892…
Good to see Kevin McCarthy joining the list of Republicans to tout the Restaurant Revitalization Fund, which he and all other Republicans voted against.

“This proposed legislation on how to handle the name is a way to honor the local people of Selma who cross the bridge every day and it gives us time to seek the will of God, not just for the bridge, but for our collective healing.”

“We celebrate his birthday in the midst of chaos,” @MalikaFortier said. “Selma is saying we want to be a beloved community.”

This moment demands moral leadership. And these players answered by standing up, speaking out, and using their platform for good.
Now is not the time for silence.

John Lewis fought for civil rights many of us today take for granted, even as the hardwon gains his generation realized are eroded begore our very eyes. We can't give up on his legacy.

Fifty-years ago, the people of Watts, L.A. took to the streets following the arrest of Marquette Frye and years of bearing the consequences of systemic racism. Join us in remembering their legacy.
Congrats to @KamalaHarris! She'll be the first African-American VP in history. John Lewis' legacy lives on. Now on to November.
.@JoeBiden can unify the American people because he's spent his life fighting for us. And as president, he'll build an America that lives up to our ideals.
I'm honored to join him as our party's nominee for Vice President, and do what it takes to make him our Commander-in-Chief.

The Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, where John Lewis marched in 1965, is named for an ex-Confederate and Grand Dragon of the KKK. The time for change is now. johnlewisbridge.com/
