If you’re in Atlanta, mark your calendar for Wednesday, May 8th at 7 PM! I’m excited to be in conversation with pioneering advocate, Dr. Aisha Nyandoro. We will be joined by Alicia Garza and Sameera Fazili for an evening about The Guarantee at The Jimmy Carter Presidential Library.

“I’ve been here 12 years, and I’ve never been as ashamed of this campus,” said Dr. James Hoestery, an Associate Professor of Religion at #Emory, to a group of reporters, after the trooper had walked away. #gaza

Professor who took part in pro-Palestinian protests says he was "body slammed" & dragged across campus by police. Suffered broken ribs & broken hand. Other students + faculty have also been injured by police. Biden notably said nothing about police use of force in speech today.

"This is a continuation of the strong, steady job growth that we have seen since President Biden came into office," Acting Secretary Julie Su tells Jennifer Schonberger. "We've now seen over 15.4 million jobs created. The unemployment rate remains below 4% still. That's the 27th month straight."

I’m seeing a talking point that this is like withholding Ukraine aid. No. Ukraine aid was held at (potentially) the behest of a foreign nation. Israel aid is being potentially withheld because they’re breaking our laws in the use of those weapons. Not the same.

Look what is in the The New York Times today! We are organized ahead of next year’s tax fight like no one in Washington can believe. This isn’t going to be a replay of 2010. We are going to win a tax code where the wealthy and corporations pay. And kiss the Trump tax cuts goodbye.

“At the current pace, public fast-charging sites will outnumber gas stations in the US in about eight years — but charger momentum is only expected to accelerate.”

The Biden-Harris administration gave Medicare the ability to negotiate drug prices. The first result is in, lowering the price of these drugs 38-79%, saving both consumers and the government money. All Republicans voted against this. Republicans have vowed to repeal this power.

Anyone who thinks strong antitrust is bad for startups needs to reckon with the 1970s & the launch of Apple, Microsoft, Sun, Oracle etc. into the gaps created by aggressive enforcement

My speech urged us to unite behind Harris, criticized Trump, and spoke about the promise of this moment. The only reason we’re doing this is to save the soul of our party and prevent bad actors from using our pain in an ongoing voter suppression campaign.
