Y’all ain’t ready for the cuteness this Campaign is about to unleash.

Thank you, Gracie, for your letter and congratulations for everything you have achieved. As governor, I will use our tax dollars responsibly by investing them back into the people of Tennessee, not big corporations and billionaire’s pockets.

While Trump played the role of a cowering bitch in the back of a catering truck, he left the crew, staffers, and press to fend for themselves on the AF1. Yes, they were used as decoys to save his sorry, useless ass. #Resist #Resistance #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks #MomSky

Sandra Day O’Connor made history in 1981 as the first woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. She opened a door once closed to women and left it wider for those who followed. Being first matters. Making sure you aren’t the last matters even more. 💜 #VivaHerAlliance

A REAL Social Truth. President Joe Biden stepped into a railroad car in Poland, traveled for TEN (10) HOURS to Ukraine to meet with President Zelenskyy to show his support & solidarity. His courage & fortitude made us proud. The contrast to the current temporary WH occupant couldn’t be greater.

Trump getting rolled out with the snacks is funny. The journalists left behind, unaware of the reported Iranian threat? Not so much. 😬 #SheShed
