25 years ago, terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people, including 2,753 New Yorkers. As we remember that terrible day, let us also remember the first responders, office workers and strangers who ran toward danger to help each other.

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library gifted more than 332,000,000 books since it was first created 31 years ago.
She lived the American dream, she was a feminist icon. She will be missed.
My heart is breaking. In addition to her musical talents, she was an exemplary human being. R I P Dolly Parton www.nytimes.com/2026/08/25/a...

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.
Stepien: Ossoff should apologize because it was below the belt. Boykin: You worked for Donald Trump. How could you say anything is below the belt when you work for Donald Trump in the White House? For you to come here and have this fake outrage…
The way the right wing is hysterically reacting to Jon Ossoff’s mere mention of Natalie Harp means he hit a raw nerve. “How dare you suggest that a man who bragged about walking in on naked underage girls at a pageant he owned would have an inappropriate relationship with an employee!!!!”
Siding with the enemy over one of our longtime allies. AGAIN. He is unquestionably an existential threat to our Democracy. #Impeach-Convict-REMOVE
THIS IS IMPORTANT What’s being proposed here is unconstitutional and illegal. This is being floated because Trump’s SAVE Act will not pass. Trump can’t declare a “national security emergency” and suddenly take control of our elections.
Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.
Rep. Ralph Norman, who’s in a Senate runoff with Lindsey Graham’s sister Darline, secretly urged a military-backed coup in 2021 to keep Trump in power. But the NY Times thinks it’s no big deal. In its last 92 stories mentioning Norman over 3 years and 7 months, it hasn’t stated that fact once. 1/7🧵
When the Big Beautiful Obituary happens and there's party across the land, the GOP will try to shame us. Talk to the hand. ✋
El-Sayed on Trump posting image of him & his wife in a restaurant w/ caption "2 DIFFERENT Americas": "He's right. One in which your overlords are 2 people who don't like each other joined in the interest in making billions off of you, or 2 people who genuinely love each other enjoying pancakes ... "
DEM UNITY: Haley Stevens just hugged Abdul El-Sayed at the Michigan Democratic Party’s Unity Breakfast in Southfield.
I stand with Dr. Anthony Fauci …because I value EVIDENCE over conspiracy, DATA over rumors, and SCIENCE over politics. No public official is beyond criticism, but there’s a difference between honest scientific guidance and misinformation. I’ll choose evidence EVERY time. #medsky #publichealth
El-Sayed on Vance: Is that Peter Thiel's boy with that Ohio charisma? The last thing that he said that made any sense was Hillbilly Elegy—after he said that Donald Trump had no business being president of anything. And then he decided to suck up to power.
holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!
I encourage all of us to have the grace and focus shown in this going up within minutes of the race being called.
El-Sayed: "They think they want to use my whole name against me. Mike, listen man, If you can't say the name -- it's Abdulrahman -- keep the name out your damn mouth."
El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
El-Sayed was "unelectable." A progressive agenda wouldn't resonate with "real Americans." Well, he won. The agenda won. And he beat $60 million from outside money AND the Dem Establishment AND Islamophobia. Dems will consolidate and Abdulrahman El-Sayed WILL BEAT Rogers and MAGA. Inshallah ;)
Another GOP incumbent not seeking re-election. They’re all panicking about the midterms.
Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.
A vote to confirm Todd Blanche is a vote against justice for Epstein survivors.
