Mayor @BrunoCovas was a bold and creative leader who helped make the economic engine of Brazil one of the most innovative cities in the region.
He was a collaborative and inspiring mayor with great ideas, and we were glad to work closely with him through our Mayors Challenge – where he led the charge to put São Paulo’s winning idea into action – and our executive leadership program for mayors.
He brought the same courage, determination, and positive spirit to his fight with cancer that he did to City Hall, and the work he did will continue to improve millions of lives in São Paulo for many years to come.

The NRA put Bernie Sanders in Congress, And Other Inconvenient Facts.

A thread:
NRA President Wayne LaPierre told Vermonters to vote for Bernie.

When Sanders ran in 1990, the NRA ran ads against his opponent.
After the NRA helped him get elected, Sanders voted against the Brady Bill FIVE times.

The Brady Bill established background checks on firearms and imposed a five-day waiting period on purchases.

The risks to our servicemembers extend beyond the battlefield.

Each day, 17 veterans take their own life. We desperately need to end the stigma surrounding mental health & ensure veterans in distress get the assistance they need.

Here’s what we’ll do: mikebloom.bg/389V83b
I will expand military health care to cover IVF and fertility services for those who need it. I’ll make sure that military deployment doesn’t inhibit a servicemember’s ability to have a family. mikebloom.bg/389V83b
There are 37,000 homeless veterans on our streets today.
Our vets deserve the security & dignity of a place to call home. We need to fully fund the HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing program and help cities build transitional housing for veterans. mikebloom.bg/389V83b

Tonight, Trump will deliver a #SOTU address.

He’ll say the State of the Union is strong, but here’s what he won’t say – the truth:
The president is trying to kick millions of Americans off of their health care and get rid of protections for people with pre-existing conditions. #SOTU
He has extorted a foreign leader to try to win re-election. He alienates our allies and emboldens our adversaries. He demonizes immigrants and calls white supremacists “very fine people.” #SOTU

In 2016, Trump repeatedly declared the election was “rigged” — and it was.

Just not against him.
During the 2016 national election, 6.1 million American adults - more than half of whom are people of color - were prevented from voting because of a previous criminal conviction, even though they had served out their sentences.
As of 2017, more than 21 million Americans lack the government-issued photo identification required to vote in multiple states with onerous voter ID laws, and the laws have only gotten worse.
