This is fantastic. As #HotFERCSummer taught us, using humor (such as my terrible dad jokes) to get more folks talking about the #ClimateCrisis can make a real difference. Comedians, cable news hosts, & yes - Members of Congress - should do much more of it. nytimes.com/2021/09/15/art…
🚨BREAKING: @SenDuckworth and I just introduced bipartisan legislation to ensure ALL education professionals have access to family and medical leave.
#COVID19 has made even clearer what we already knew: workers need access to family and medical leave to keep themselves, their families, and our communities safe.
Janitorial staff
Social workers
Paraeducators
Clerical support professionals
Maintenance workers
Foodservice employees
Bus drivers
Work every day to support our nation’s students. They ALL deserve access to family and medical leave.
Have you ever wondered why it is that two-thirds of Americans think government should do more to #ActOnClimate and over 90% of Americans support background checks, yet we’ve made virtually zero progress on either issue?
So what is ALEC anyway? I’ll let @iamjohnoliver explain it to you and then I’ll pick off where the folks at @LastWeekTonight left off back in 2014.
@IamJohnOliver’s description of @ALEC_States as a conservative bill mill responsible for every disastrous anti-climate law you could imagine was true then and it’s true now.
But 6 years later, ALEC’s #CopyPasteCorruption isn't just as shady as it sounds, it’s even shadier.
After reading, in full, the House Intelligence Report, House Judiciary Report, the Articles of Impeachment, and hearing from constituents, I have decided to take the solemn step to vote to impeach the President for abusing the powers of his office for his own personal gain.
My career as a scientist and businessman has taught me that facts must be the basis for any decision. Those facts have led me to this decision.
The facts are clear: President Trump withheld military aid to an ally, pressured a foreign government to interfere in our elections, and then systematically obstructed Congress’ ability to learn the truth of his actions.
