It's 150 days since Breonna Taylor was murdered. Too often Black women who die from police violence are forgotten. Stay loud, demand justice—and SAY HER NAME. This tee is made in partnership with the Breonna Taylor Foundation to whom all profits are given. https://t.co/pqPaHM59dQpic.twitter.com/7sC16ZIn2f
I think it’s time we demand for the resignation of everyone who is implicated in #BreonnaTaylor’s murder, from the police to the politicians. We must demand they step down immediately and not let up until they do.
It’s infuriating. These officials think that we’re just going to look the other way when cops MURDER a Black woman in her home while she was sleeping. They need to realize that we will keep going hard for Breonna until those murderers are held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.
I’m glad for groups like Until Freedom who are on the ground protesting damn near everyday and getting in good trouble to ensure that Breonna’s murder does not get swept under the rug.
I’m thankful for everyone who continues to lift Breonna up no matter the size of their platform.
“Trump Weaponizes Postal Service To Hurt Americans Voting By Mail”
“Marc Elias, founder of Democracy Docket, talks with Rachel Maddow about how Donald Trump is trying to sabotage the U.S. Postal Service in order to undermine the ability of Americans to vote by mail during the coronavirus pandemic Trump’s administration has failed to contain.”
“The U.S. mail service is not ready for November.”
“the Trump administration has turned to weakening the United States Postal Service in a cynical effort to keep people from voting.”
“So people should make sure they are registered, make sure they apply for their absentee ballot early, and make sure when they get it – vote it right away. Get it in. Don’t wait until the last minute. Because getting those ballots in on time is going to be really very important for November.”

On ReidOut:
Speaker Pelosi to Joy Reid:
“An opportunity to talk about issues of concern to America’s working families. That’s not what the President is talking about. What we’re seeing is illusion. It’s important to enlarge the issue to understand that what the President does is say, ‘I’m doing things to help people,’ which he isn’t. And then the stations pick it up and say, ‘The President is doing something to help people.’ And it’s all about one thing, the stock market.
And the markets pick it up. The markets go up. That’s his question, ‘What’s the market doing?’
And they – with the Fed and the President’s illusions, they are bolstering the stock market, and we’re saying,
let’s bolster America’s working families.”
Reid:
“Could you ever envision a scenario where Democrats in the House would agree to allow Donald Trump to cut into the payroll tax or to pass additional capital gains tax cuts for the rich when there’s still no money for people who’ve been depending on that extra $600 in their unemployment?”
Speaker Pelosi:
“Well, no, I can’t envision a situation, but here it is. We’re in the middle of pandemic. Three months ago, we passed the Heroes Act in the House of Representatives to meet the needs of the American people. At that time, Leader McConnell pushed the pause button, and during that pause, 3.5 million more people were added to the list of those infected and over 75,000 more people have died once they pushed the pause button.”
Arkansas voters: here is what you need to know about today’s primaries (thread). Call 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683) to get voting help now! #ProtectTheVotepic.twitter.com/1ua6tw9rbn
HOWEVER: Voters who are already registered to vote when they request a mail ballot will not be required to have their ballot witnessed by a qualified individual…
The SOS is recommending that voters who are not currently registered submit their registration before requesting a mail ballot so as to avoid having to meet the witness requirement.
Remember when Mike Pence went to a football game just to walk out in a planned stunt about players protesting? We discovered he left local police with a $14k bill: https://t.co/2fEn3R66r0https://t.co/Ac8z7QSSeN
Eso. Texas isn’t a “wouldn’t it be nice?” opportunity… it’s a must win. Only way to end decades of racial gerrymandering & voter suppression.. and btw, energy for state house races flows UP to Biden, coattails running in reverse in TX. It’s how he wins our 38 electoral votes. https://t.co/6OZKvzjKT0
Black women and women of color have long been underrepresented in elected office and in November we have an opportunity to change that. Let's get to work.https://t.co/aiVwuBrwqR
At least 267 Black, Latinx, Asian, Native American, Middle Eastern and North African women are running for the House and Senate, shattering 2018's numbers. https://t.co/vRibgiLLIv
The 163,000 who have passed away from “the plague” matter to Trump only in so far as their deaths impact his election. Heartless. Shameless. https://t.co/tZxCbDDZrj
Startling: Kimberly Karol, of postal service workers' union in Waterloo, Iowa, tells @noelking the USPS not only banned overtime, but is having sorting machines removed in her area: "That also hinders our ability to process mail." @NPR
"I grew up in a culture of service, where every piece was to be delivered every day," Karol tells @NoelKing. Argues Louis DeJoy, new head of USPS, is enacting policies that prevent that. @MorningEdition
But asked by @NoelKing if the USPS can still handle voting by mail this fall, the postal clerk and union leader answers yes: they've been in business for centuries, and "we still have the system that will do that." @NPR
Someone needs to mention to Louis Dejoy that he has a constitutional mandate to establish / maintain a postal service, and he is bound under the various federal laws to deliver the mail.
"The United States Postal Service shall be operated as a basic and fundamental service provided to the people by the Government of the United States, authorized by the Constitution, created by Act of Congress, and supported by the people." 39 USC 101.
The Democratic National Convention speaker lineup includes former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama as well as 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, according to the Biden campaign. https://t.co/LIr94HenSV
The Democratic National Convention will be anchored by nightly prime-time keynote speeches, with Michelle Obama on Monday, Jill Biden on Tuesday, Barack Obama on Wednesday, and Joe Biden's acceptance speech on Thursday. https://t.co/k2CWEnl6LW
Joe Biden has selected his running mate, revealing to top advisers on Tuesday the woman he will invite to join his ticket, according to two people familiar with the matter. Biden is poised to make the announcement as early as today.
“The news I think will be electrifying when it comes out,” says LA Mayor Eric Garcetti, a co-chair of Joe Biden’s VP selection committee, on Biden’s VP choice.
NEW: I'm told by multiple Democrats close to the process that the contenders have now been informed whether or not they've been chosen as Biden's running mate.
Please get behind Alisa Simmons as she runs a critical campaign for the Texas House. President of the Arlington NAACP, a Marine mom & small business owner. Courageous leader on criminal justice in a city that has seen too many unarmed black men killed by police. Join us tonight: https://t.co/F6w0lSiLoh
The administration has been expelling migrant children. They said it’s to contain the spread of COVID-19, but these children have tested negative. I’ll say it again– they’re using the pandemic to harm immigrants, including unaccompanied children. https://t.co/58mt5HDxFY
Here come the leaks. As much as I’d like to know his choice, I wish they wouldn’t do this.
The Biden campaign has informed some of the women the former Vice President’s team vetted about his choice of running mate, three sources familiar with the matter tell CNN. Karen Bass was told by Biden himself that she was not the pick, a source familiar tells CNN.
New: Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams was informed today that she is not Joe Biden’s vice presidential pick, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN.
I have the great honor to announce that I’ve picked @KamalaHarris — a fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country’s finest public servants — as my running mate.
Sir, I met your son Beau when he appeared at a small gathering with @KamalaHarris in SF to talk about sensible gun reform. It was an honor to meet him and witness their lovely friendship. I'm proud that you honor them today. pic.twitter.com/iV0STGi8Ob
Back when Kamala was Attorney General, she worked closely with Beau. I watched as they took on the big banks, lifted up working people, and protected women and kids from abuse. I was proud then, and I'm proud now to have her as my partner in this campaign.
See? It was her all along. He just took his time confirming and re-confirming!

I believe Joe’s choice was Kamala all along and that he has been vetting all the others as potentials for positions in his administration, cabinet. Now all we have to do is get him in the White House and he and Kamala will hit the ground running. Hopeful the force will be so great Republicans won’t know what hit them. I started crying when read his choice as Kamala was my first choice, but many of the others were good by me. Gives me hope for the USA!
Damn. Picking @KamalaHarris has really moved me. Didn’t expect to get so emotional. But she’s so exciting and it speaks so well of @JoeBiden and god we need some excitement and hope around here! #BidenHarris2020. Let’s do this.
My warmest congratulations to @KamalaHarris. I am confident Biden-Harris will prove to be a winning ticket. I will do my utmost to help them win and govern. 👇🏽 pic.twitter.com/9pfJggZSV9
Love Susan Rice very much…and she is here very gracious. Perhaps there are plans? She was unfairly Rove-d on Benghazi. With all of her credentials and experience, seeing her play her part in the new Administration would be truly wonderful.
Congratulations @KamalaHarris! I’m looking forward to campaigning for the Biden/Harris ticket and to seeing this team win Texas on the road to the White House!
.@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.
Thrilled to support @KamalaHarris as next VP. I was honored to speak with @JoeBiden at length over the weekend and again today. His focus on reaching out to every corner of our country speaks to how he will lead us. I look forward to doing all I can for Team #BidenHarris!
I’ve known Senator @KamalaHarris for a long time. She is more than prepared for the job. She’s spent her career defending our Constitution and fighting for folks who need a fair shake. This is a good day for our country. Now let’s go win this thing. pic.twitter.com/duJhFhWp6g
I worked closely with her when I was in Sacramento and she was the District Attorney in San Francisco. I continue to work closely with her here in Washington, DC as we push to reform our nation's policing system. 2/
Senator @KamalaHarris is a fearless and proven champion for American families and the rule of law. Excited about this team and America's future. https://t.co/SjZcUUF0nQ
There's a 20% chance Trump will now announce he's replacing Mike Pence with Nikki Haley, meaning Pence will have kissed Trump's ass all this time for nothing.
There's also an 80% chance Trump will stick with Pence, meaning Haley threw her career away kissing his ass for nothing.
Filled with joy that Sen. @KamalaHarris is our Vice Presidential nominee! This is a historic moment, and I know that her leadership, experience, and character will help move our country forward when she and @JoeBiden take back the White House!
Kamala is a good friend and incredibly strong public servant. Sometimes campaigns can tear friendships apart but we grew closer — and I know she has what it takes to lead side-by-side with @JoeBiden.
VP Biden has made a historic decision & selected @SenKamalaHarris to be his VP. I believe that the two of them together will respect & honor our constitution, strengthen our democracy & economy, and work for a good quality of life for our children & families!
I'm thrilled to welcome @KamalaHarris to a historic Democratic ticket. She's already proven herself to be an incredible public servant and leader. And I know she’ll be a strong partner to @JoeBiden. Please join me in having her back and getting her elected. pic.twitter.com/cmtOO8Gqqv

46 days since reports of Russian bounties on our troops. 46 days where Trump has proven his loyalty to Putin over American lives. 84 days until the election.#TraitorTrump#vote
Trump has a total meltdown, mispronounces Kamala Harris's name, accuses Obama and Joe Biden of treason, and calls Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas" all in the same rant. Trump is not handling the Harris news well. pic.twitter.com/4E72gZxoUS
There're gonna be 10K @KamalaHarris VP think pieces. I won't be writing one, but I'll say this: Not only are Black women the Democratic Party's most loyal base,BW are the most loyal to our fellow Americans, to community. BW vote for the common good at highest rates of all groups.
If Black Americans have been the perfecters of this democracy, then Black WOMEN have been its most ardent freedom fighters even as they sit at the intersection of all oppression, even as they bear the brunt of every racist and misogynistic policy & stereotypes in this land.
In 2011 and again in 2013, Donald Trump donated a total of $6,000 to Kamala Harris' campaign for California attorney general. Ivanka Trump gave Harris $2,000 in 2014.https://t.co/4iKdSJfFW6
I'm proud to call @KamalaHarris my dear friend and sister—and next year, I'll be even more proud to call her our Vice President.
This is history. Kamala is a trailblazer who will serve this country well as the first Black and Asian American woman on a major party's ticket. pic.twitter.com/zUlL2TXkJ3
. @MichaelLaRosaDC: “Her son, Beau, trusted the Senator when they both served as state Attorneys General and that friendship means a lot to Dr. B. It’s a bond the Bidens and Senator Harris have that remains special to this day. She is excited about this announcement.”
Congratulations to @KamalaHarris, who will make history as our next Vice President. She understands what it takes to stand up for working people, fight for health care for all, and take down the most corrupt administration in history. Let’s get to work and win.
Congratulations to my dear friend and our next Vice President, @KamalaHarris. She is passionate. She is powerful. She is brilliant. She is compassionate. Kamala will help @JoeBiden unite the American people, restore our nation's soul, and rebuild our country.
I'm proud that our process vetted and elevated so many women qualified to lead our country. This wasn't a political process. We worked to build a team that puts women at the table, reflects America, and that will lead our country forward.
I've been lucky to get to fight alongside my friend @KamalaHarris in the Senate—and I’m thrilled to support her through her next journey.
Congratulations, Kamala! You and @JoeBiden make a strong ticket to lead Democrats to victory in November. I'll be cheering you on! pic.twitter.com/IzCwQGxc7M

Why can’t we get any kind of action in this case?
inaction over Breonna’s murder cannot stand, cannot stand, cannot stand.

I believe Joe’s choice was Kamala all along and that he has been vetting all the others as potentials for positions in his administration, cabinet. Now all we have to do is get him in the White House and he and Kamala will hit the ground running. Hopeful the force will be so great Republicans won’t know what hit them. I started crying when read his choice as Kamala was my first choice, but many of the others were good by me. Gives me hope for the USA!
Love Susan Rice very much…and she is here very gracious. Perhaps there are plans? She was unfairly Rove-d on Benghazi. With all of her credentials and experience, seeing her play her part in the new Administration would be truly wonderful.

I predict she’ll be SoS.
