Boy howdy am I having a lot of feelings about Afghanistan today I deployed there twice--once in 2008 and once in 2009-10 It was already obvious that the Taliban would sweep through the very instant we left And here we are today

WATCH: Tempers flare in the US House chamber as Republican lawmakers shout over Rep. Conor Lamb, temporarily causing benches to empty, for accusing Republicans of lying about why President Trump lost Pennsylvania.

True: Amazon’s effective corporate tax rate over the three-year period 2017-2019 was 0%. In 2019, the company paid $162M or 1.2%, a far cry from 21% statutory rate. Its release at the time focused mostly on taxes it did *not* pay and taxes it collected on behalf of *others.*

.@SenSanders Not true. Last year we paid $5B in taxes, while providing paid sick-leave & comprehensive benefits for all full-time workers starting on their 1st day. All Amazon employees make at least $15/hr – 2x the fed min wage, & we created 175k+ new jobs since pandemic began.

Translation of the Republican Party stance: “We can undermine the election by stripping Black Americans of their civil rights.”

"It changes the results of the election in Michigan if you take out Wayne county."

Strange that you now oppose checks to help people survive shutdowns, Chip. You voted YES for the CARES Act in March, which paid folks to help weather the impact of COVID shutdowns. What changed for you to oppose stimulus now? The fact that there’s no Wall St bailout anymore?

You can’t make this stuff up. #StandUpForAmerica

Was pleased to find the movie version of The Right Stuff on HBO Max, especially since the Disney+ show is so lackluster. Damn, the film holds up, and I can’t believe that some scenes (like Yeager ejecting from the crash) were filmed with early 80s technology.

Since Trump is now attacking Howard Zinn, the late WWII veteran & people's historian, let's get his best known work trending: 'A People's History of the United States'. Follow @ZinnEdProject. I believe Dr. Zinn would've wanted us to challenge fascism with education & resistance.

It might be Labor Day weekend, but let’s all remember that we're still in the middle of a pandemic. Wear a mask, practice social distancing, and follow the experts. It’ll save lives.

A must watch. We need more of this kind of journalism. This is America today.
