Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952
For over a year, Canada has worked intensively and in good faith with the United States to negotiate a new comprehensive trade deal. We have been pragmatic, patient, and persistent. Our goal has always been to get the best deal for Canadians, never a deal at any price or on any time frame.
Canada fuels American growth. Canada supplies 99% of natural gas imports, 85% of electricity imports and 60% of crude oil imports. I don't think they want us to stop sending any of that energy. -PMCarney #TrumpTariffs

On this day in 2016, Hillary Clinton accepted the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination. She said: “I’m so happy this day has come . . . . because when any barrier falls in America, for anyone, it clears the way for everyone. When there are no ceilings, the sky’s the limit.” #WeTheMen
Voting is the most basic act of citizenship. The SAVE Act makes it expensive. Expensive voting is restricted voting. Restricted voting is not democracy. It's oligarchy with a ballot fee. #PayToVoteSaveAct
I don’t personally love this outcome, but this is how it should be done: suspending your campaign with class. Uplifting the likely nominee. I bet many Mainers are proud of Jordan Wood today.
On this day in 1891, Doris Fleischman was born. She became a feminist, kept her last name after marrying in 1922, and was the first married American woman to have a passport issued under her “maiden name.” She told authorities that she did not want “to travel under a false name.” #WeTheMen
Mamdani left soccer field lights on all night…..the lights usually go off at 10pm. They set a camera up and guess what they saw?? Residents playing soccer with their friends ALL NIGHT. One man said how much he loved it because his friends work late and can’t get to the field before 10pm.
Today in Psychology (15th July 1918), Brenda Langford Milner was born. A pioneer of neuropsychology, Milner’s landmark work with H.M. transformed our understanding of memory and showed that the brain is not governed by a single memory system. www.all-about-psychology.com/neuropsychol...
On this day in 1917, sixteen suffragists picketing the White House were arrested & sentenced to two months in the Occoquan Workhouse for “obstructing traffic.” Amelia Himes Walker was one of them. After the 19th Amendment’s ratification, she continued to work for woman’s rights & the ERA. #WeTheMen
