Good time to recall that in the previous administration, we NEVER boasted about the stock market -- even though the Dow more than doubled on Obama's watch -- because we knew two things: 1) the stock market is not the economy; and 2) if you claim the rise, you own the fall.

@RowlandRIVALS @JayTThomas17 Shouldn’t have said “never.” As noted in ensuing tweets, we talked very little about the markets in our first 3 years compared to now - and when we did, almost always in the context of its rise being one of many signs of recovery from the Great Recession.

Whether you loved him or hated him-and there are very few people in between-Rush Limbaugh was indisputably a force of historic proportions. Over the past three decades,he did as much to polarize our politics as anyone and laid the groundwork for Trump and Trumpism.

More than 42% of all working Americans earn less than the $15/hour Amazon pays entry-level fulfillment center employees. And all our employees get top-tier benefits. I’d urge @AOC to focus on raising the federal minimum wage instead of making stuff up about Amazon.

. @AOC is just wrong. Amazon is a leader on pay at $15 min wage + full benefits from day one. We also lobby to raise federal min wage.

Exactly. The unctuous Wayne LaPierre’s success - and, no doubt, his bonus - is tied directly to gun sales - specifically to ensuring the failure of legislation limiting gun sales and the success of legislation increasing gun sales. That’s his job. Period.

We talk a lot about who the NRA funds but not enough about who funds the NRA. They are a lobbying group for gun manufacturers and therefore push for positions that lead to more guns being bought in this country.

This is @JoeBiden . I saw him have this kind of conversation when there were no reporters in sight. He understands challenges because he’s had so many of his own. He’s an optimist not in spite of the challenges he’s faced, but because he knows others have overcome worse.
