Democrats Deliver
The job market remains strong. Unemployment remains at near historically low levels. Price for everything, especially at the pump, continue to come down. All evidence says the economy is strong and the economic future is looking brighter everyday.
Republicans wanted Cáos... They're not going to get it...And by overturning Roe Vs. Wade, they just handed the House and Senate back to the Democrats...
What Red Wave????

At Last Justice For Breonna!
Today, Four Louisville police officers involved in the deadly raid at Breonna Taylor's home were charged with civil-rights violations, the Justice Department announced, including a former detective who was fired for lying on the search warrant that led to her death.
Garland said federal officials “share but cannot fully imagine the grief” felt by Taylor’s family.
“Breonna Taylor should be alive today,” Garland said.
BreonnaTaylor, a 26-year-old Black medical worker, was shot to death by Louisville officers who knocked down her door while executing the search warrant. Taylor’s boyfriend fired a shot that hit one of the officers as they came through the door and they returned fire, striking Taylor six times. Officers fired 32 rounds in total.
Her death became a rallying cry for protesters around the country during 2020 demonstrations against police brutality and systemic racism.
Civil-rights attorney Ben Crump, who represented Taylor's family through a historic $12 million settlement, said it was "a great day" after Thursday's announcement and, in a statement with other attorneys who represented the family, called it a "huge step toward justice."

Black America Lost Two Giants Yesterday
Bill Russell, the cornerstone of the Boston Celtics dynasty that won eight straight titles and 11 overall during his career, died Sunday.
The Hall of Famer was 88.
Russell died "peacefully" with his wife, Jeannine, at his side, a statement posted on social media read. Arrangements for his memorial service will be announced soon, according to the statement.
The statement did not give the cause of death, but Russell, who had been living in the Seattle area, was not well enough to present the NBA Finals MVP trophy in June because of a long illness.
"But for all the winning, Bill's understanding of the struggle is what illuminated his life," the statement said. "From boycotting a 1961 exhibition game to unmask too-long-tolerated discrimination, to leading Mississippi's first integrated basketball camp in the combustible wake of Medgar [Evers'] assassination, to decades of activism ultimately recognized by his receipt of the Presidential Medal of Freedom ... Bill called out injustice with an unforgiving candor that he intended would disrupt the status quo, and with a powerful example that, though never his humble intention, will forever inspire teamwork, selflessness and thoughtful change.
Actress, singer, and voice artist, Nichelle Nichols born Grace Dell Nichols on December 28, 1932. Nichols was admired and beloved for her portrayal of Nyota Uhura in Star Trek: The Original Series, and its film sequels.
Nichols' portrayal of Uhura was ground-breaking for Black Women characters on television.
At one point during the series Nichols wanted to quit Star Trek but was encouraged by Martin Luther King Jr., to continue on because of the legacy and inspiration she represented for the future of inclusion.
From 1977 to 2015, #NichelleNichols volunteered her time to promote NASA's programs, and to recruit diverse astronauts, including women and ethnic minorities.
As of 2021, Nichols was one of four surviving members of the original cast of Star Trek, the others being William Shatner, George Takei and Walter Koenig.
