Betty Beecher was one of 120,000 women who served as Cadet Nurses during WWII. I talked with her about her years of service, and my bipartisan bill to honor America’s Cadet Nurses.
The US Cadet Nurse Corps Service Recognition Act will recognize former Cadet Nurses’ service to our country and provide them with honorable discharges, ribbon and medal privileges, and burial privileges. patriotledger.com/blogs/20181206…
On National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, I’m thinking of Betty, and the millions of Americans who stepped up to serve when their country needed them most. Thank you for your service.

When my kids were little, I struggled to find good, reliable, and affordable child care. It felt like an impossible task then – and it still is for many families. That’s why I’m proposing a new plan for #UniversalChildCare.
My plan for #UniversalChildCare would build off the success of Head Start to create a network of high-quality child care options. Federal funding would guarantee every family has access to high-quality, affordable care for kids from birth to kindergarten.
In many states, child care is more expensive than in-state college tuition. Under my plan for #UniversalChildCare, child care would be free for nearly 9 million kids. And no family would pay more than 7% of their income for child care.

We should never be the first to use a nuclear weapon in a conflict. I'm proud to join with @RepAdamSmith, Chairman of @HASCDemocrats, to introduce a bill that formalizes what most Americans already believe: the United States should never initiate a nuclear war. #NoFirstUse
Here’s my entire bill on #NoFirstUse:
The only purpose of the US nuclear arsenal should be deterrence. Retaining the right to use nuclear weapons first won’t make Americans safer. In fact, in increases the possibility of a dangerous miscalculation & puts us – & everyone else – at greater risk of nuclear devastation.

Tim Sloan doesn't think I have an "informed" opinion about how he's helped lead @WellsFargo. But I’ve actually been paying pretty close attention, and I’ve got a long list of reasons why I think he should be fired. (Get comfortable, this is gonna take a while.)
Remember the fake accounts scam that got @WellsFargo in trouble to begin with? As CFO and COO, Tim Sloan helped enable it. He got rich off it. And he tried to cover it up. How's he the right guy to clean up the mess?
Fake accounts were just one of the scandals that went down at @WellsFargo while Tim Sloan was part of the bank’s top leadership. There are a lot to choose from. Like when they charged hundreds of thousands of customers for auto insurance they didn’t need.

We are shocked and saddened to see that the Bomber Command Memorial has once again become a target for vandals, for the 4th time in 6 years. Paint has been splashed across the entire Memorial. Work to repair the damage has begun immediately. Read more: bit.ly/2W8Y4Y8
Our Chief Executive, David Murray said: "The RAF Benevolent Fund is proud to serve as guardians of the Memorial, built to commemorate the 55,573 members of Bomber Command who died in its service during #WWII. This is the worst example of vandalism we have seen at the Memorial.
David Murray continued: "And it is utterly heart-breaking to see the memory of all those brave airmen disrespected in this way. But like the remarkable men who the Memorial commemorates, we will not rest until we have finished the job."

Bill Barr's confirmation hearing is about to begin. Follow me for a video thread.
.@LindseyGrahamSC: "The times of which we live are very difficult times. I don't see them getting better overnight... So about me... I'll be as measured as possible. The immigration Lindsey will show up. But the [Kavanaugh] guy's there too. I don't like him any more than you do.
.@SenFeinstein tells Barr, "your [memo criticizing the Mueller investigation] shows a large, sweeping view of presidential power... [and] raises a number of questions about your views of executive authority and whether the president is in fact above the law."

This #GallOfBitterness being dished out in this video by this man is not the representation of the Church, please let it be clear that this man's hatred and BIGOTRY was what's leading him. This does not represent #Christianity:

And Rev Canon from the South East with his heart of BIGOTRY still went ahead to dish out his #BIGOTRY to these hearts just because of his hatred for Buhari.
This level of #GallOfBitterness can destroy faster than HELL...#AvoidIt

The #JubrilFromSudan started from Nnamdi Kanu just a few days after Buhari returned to Nigeria against all odd & contradiction of your vision SEERS.....
Now even the educated folks & religious leaders joined him in his #GallOfBitterness
Who should we blame now?🤣🤣🤣🤣

During rally in Indiana, Trump's supporters chant "lock her up!" as he attacks the women who accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault.

"They have to look at the other ones!" Trump urges, referring to Dr Christine Blasey Ford and Debbie Ramirez
Trump revives bizarre bit where he accuses assembled media of suppressing images of how big his crowd sizes are by keeping cameras affixed on him.

"They never show it! They keep it right trained on my face...they don't turn them. They don't turn them because they are fake news!"
Trump mocks a protester as "a weak person with a weak voice" who needs to "go home to mommy."

“While I was busy hating Vegas, and hiding from Vegas, a funny thing happened. I grew to love Vegas.” – J. R. Moehringer

15 years since I was last in Vegas, but not much has changed - something very endearing about its decision to stick to its game plan.
