In America, when we oppress anyone, we oppress ourselves. It saddens me to see the partisanship and over-politicization around a holiday celebrating countless people finally being freed from slavery - an invaluable part of our nation's history. Jubilee, and happy #Juneteenth

Hard to imagine that the #September11 attacks happened 20 years ago. We saw a lot of horror that day - but I remember it bringing us together in a way I haven't seen since. We know how to rise above our differences and stand together in the face of our greatest challenges.

All of us want impaired drivers off the road. That isn't a question. But, the privacy and data collection implications of requiring vehicles to have impairment sensors are just too much.
