Tennessee Rep. @Justinjpearson: I was reading my Bible early this morning, asking God why this is happening. Today, you will take the only majority Black district from us, but no matter how much you try to break us, we will still be here.

So, to sum up the Supreme Court’s week: life begins at conception and ends in a mass shooting.

“These texts—which are devastating in their detail, and reveal Fox hosts acting more as crisis communications consiglieres to the president than as journalists covering his administration—were revealed at a contempt hearing for Meadows.” thebulwark.com/fox-hosts-beg…

America was attacked, and we deserve to know why and how it happened. This moment is bigger than all of us—the future of our country is on the line. And we must be fearless in our pursuit of the truth. nytimes.com/2021/07/27/opini…

Today, I was asked to serve on the bipartisan January 6th Select Committee and I humbly accepted. When duty calls, I will always answer. bit.ly/3zy5TcP

We know the Delta Variant is contagious -- and is on the rise.
We know our hospitalizations are creeping up -- and most of the patients are unvaccinated.
We also know the science is clear -- getting vaccinated protects you AND those around you.
Get vaccinated.

The NFL says it will halt the use of “race-norming” — which assumed Black players started out with lower cognitive functioning — in a $1 billion settlement of brain injury claims. The practice had made it harder for Black players to qualify.

Transmission rates are at an all time high across the country.
Simply put -- everywhere you go, you’re more likely to get #COVID19 than you were a couple months ago.
Wear a mask. Practice physical distancing. We can get through this.
At least 1 of every 17 people in the U.S. has contracted the coronavirus, and 1 in 1,000 has died. Yet the worst may lie ahead as many Americans travel over the holiday season. nyti.ms/2KC11Q4

@FortniteGame Hi! My son has been caught in a login loop and can’t get into the game. We can’t login to the Epic Games account either. He uninstalled then reinstalled, but nothing. Xbox has tried to help but nothing. He’s not getting a banned message. Pls help! TYVM

My Democratic Senate colleagues and I boycotted the Supreme Court nominee committee vote today. Let's be clear: this nomination process is a sham and shows how Republicans will stop at nothing to strip health care from millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions.

I’m happy to report that Jill and I have tested negative for COVID. Thank you to everyone for your messages of concern. I hope this serves as a reminder: wear a mask, keep social distance, and wash your hands.

The LA County Department of Public Health continues to recommend that people who have been a close contact of someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 be tested for the virus.

California will not abide by new guidelines from the CDC that do not recommend Covid-19 testing for those without symptoms, the governor says cnn.it/3lwsDUC

Let's be real clear: Donald Trump failed to take coronavirus seriously from the start. His lack of leadership cost millions of Americans their jobs and led to more than 110,000 small businesses closing for good.
Americans deserve a real leader to fix this—and that’s @JoeBiden.

GOP strategist: "I still think Biden beats Trump. I’d bet money on it. But not too much money. Only about 7 or 8 percent of the vote is really in play." @MurphyMike lays out how he says Biden could still lose: washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

What an absolutely beautiful human moment. I don't care what your politics are; these qualities in Joe Biden -- decency, empathy and tenderness, encouragement -- are things to celebrate and give thanks for.
