I fancy the English accent, Godiva chocolates, Masala chai, competitive volleyball, and the Oxford comma.

Hey, friends, we just gave our company to planet Earth. OK, it’s more nuanced than that, but we’re closed today to celebrate this new plan to save our one and only home. We’ll be back online tomorrow. nytimes.com/2022/09/14/clima…

“To India, our much-loved motherland, the ancient, the eternal and the ever-new, we pay our reverent homage and we bind ourselves afresh to her service.” Happy Independence Day! Jai Hind. #IndiaAt75

Tonight my documentary, The Real Mo Farah, is airing on @BBCOne at 9pm. It’s been two years in the making and tells the story of my journey to the UK. It’s been difficult and emotional at times, but I am incredibly proud of it. Please tune in. @BBCiPlayer

We're getting ready to build something a little different at our plant in Normal: a wind turbine. Once the blades are turning, it will generate enough power to give every new R1 vehicle we build its first charge with clean energy. ​🌱⚡️

Rep. Katie Porter: ‘This is absurd. After *one* child died using a Peloton treadmill last year, the Consumer Product Safety Commission intervened & recalled the product. But when hundreds of children die using guns, there is no federal response!’

Rep. @AOC (D-NY): "Between 2009 and 2018, how many school shootings did the United States have?" @BeckyPringle: "288." AOC: "Let's look globally, our G7 partners...how many school shootings did those countries have?" Pringle: "Five." AOC: "It is internationally embarrassing."

We should reinstate the ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines that we passed in 1994. In the ten years it was law, mass shootings went down. After Republicans let the law expire in 2004 — and those weapons were allowed to be sold again — mass shootings tripled.

Same old excuses from the GOP: “Criminals will break any gun safety laws we pass.” Wrong. Gun laws reduce the number of mass killings. They have in every other country that has tried. We’re lawmakers. It’s literally in the job title. If you’re not up to it, find a new job.
