- Get off the Joe-bashing. You reported the gaffe, you reported it again, then you reported his apology, then you just can’t stop going over it all again every hour. Fvcking amazing.
We’re all gonna vote for Joe, so it’s all for naught.
How do these other countries keep people on 80% or 60% of their salaries and we can’t do shit for people???
We are one of the richest countries on the world. But where is our relief money???????

@GovParsonMO

. I hope you can all vote for a Dem in November.
The kids will get it? Yeah so will mom and dad, grandma and grandpa, teachers, janitors, school nurses.
Governors should have to pass an IQ test.
Why don’t we repurpose and pay restaurants . . .
- to prepare food for doctors and nurses?
- to prepare food for the homeless?
Come on, this is bullshit. We just gave $1,000,000,000,000 to wealthy people, WE CAN DO THIS.
There is not a creative bone in this admin. 🤦🏻♀️
I wish some investigative reporters would find proof of the dirt on Graham, McConnell, Romney, Hurd, Collins, Sasse, Murkowski, Grassley—all those GOP MoC who are evidently being bribed by trump to sell out democracy. Fair play.
Andrea Mitchell is exploring the idea of again having a catholic in the WH. And what the church might think since he is pro-choice.
Has everyone forgotten separation of church & state? Why is his religion relevant? How will we embrace all religions if we keep driving this stuff?
@jeremyrroebuck
I want to know what his sentence is.
The Black ex-felon mom in NC who didn’t realize she could not vote, and thought she was doing her civic duty got FIVE YEARS.
What this guy did was deliberate. Will he be put in the slammer?
@tedlieu
I was about to go to law a school to solve this mess, but look—then I read this article by
@glennkirschner2
, a really smart former prosecutor who suggested the House should use inherent contempt. Last year. 🤷🏻♀️

@MSNBC
: “There is an effort in this admin to ensure your vote doesn’t count & that it doesn’t count ‘as cast.’”
Huh? That it doesn’t count AS CAST??? 😲
@danielsgoldman
Because someone has to point a finger at the owner for any law enforcement agency to charge the owner of a company?
I feel I should start a company right now.

I feel a slight change in the Twitterverse.
Joe’s willingness to crush the filibuster. Dems winning special elections, pulling in more seats. Mitch’s bumbling threats. Rachel laying out the facts. 🤔

Before we were here, lightening started fires, they grew large, consumed many forests. Soon, new trees would sprout up from roots, with less competition and the cycle would repeat.
Now humans cut the forests, start the fires, and have run out of time for regeneration.
So evidently it takes about 3 years to tear down Democracy in the US to a state we barely recognize.
Now we know.
Let’s work to find out how long it takes to rebuild it. Who’s in?
Wow, the mayor of Portland called out trump in spades. Called him racist, anti-democratic, sexist, etc. He asked trump if he ever wonder why we are finding this level of violence right now but nothing like this for 30 years before? Said it was directly trump’s fault. 👏🏼
@Joann95197683
If they don’t need Social Security and Medicare to retire, if they don’t mind watching the wealthy get trillions in tax cuts, if they think it’s ok that we don’t know where they are taking the babies from immigrants at the border, if they don’t like Blacks—well then, sure. 🤷🏻♀️
I’m starting to mute resisters who claim “Ivanka’s voting machines have been installed in 18 states.”
That’s a very specific lie, planted for a reason. There are no sources, no proof. Either post the link or please stop.

Why does anyone pay attention to them? Trump’s approval rating is 42%. He lost by millions of votes. They are not the majority.
Yet Dems are always on defense. The GOP “demands” from a position of weakness—and wins! One cannot plan a strategy if one is always playing defense.
@RepSwalwell
Problem is Dems are not getting this msg out—or any strong msgs out. Please make a communication plan and execute the plan consistently. Twitter msgs are fine but are not a communication plan.

Tell him someday when all the bullies grow up they will be trying to find jobs and wives while still bulking folks and he will be their mayor and will have a wonderful family who loves that he is a kind man. Something to think about. 👍🏼
MEDIA - Do you honestly believe any Fed doctor is prescribing a drug that is dangerous for older, overweight people to an obese, 73 year-old man who is not even ill??
It’s another distraction. Move on.
🤔 James Blassingame, a 17-year veteran, and Sidney Hemby, an 11-year veteran, just filed a lawsuit against Trump claiming they suffered horrific injuries and they're laying the blame squarely at his feet.

That would be hilarious and trump would look like a carnival barker, so I fear

won’t do anything close to that. But they should.
As we surmised...
Riots in downtown Richmond over the weekend were instigated by white supremacists under the guise of Black Lives Matter, according to law enforcement officials.

@FEC
There are two Republican members who are taking up space while their tenure is up.
Why aren’t new FEC members appointed?
Trump was told to destroy America from within. We were raised believing . . .
🔘judges were fair and apolitical,
🔘the Intel agencies work for the people,
🔘the DOJ prosecutes all criminals,
🔘the president is not above the law.
What a difference 3 years of corruption makes.
@RexChapman
You will only hear the word you are thinking. Hide them both, think of one, there it is. Think of the other, there it is, too. Can we use this in some way to defeat Trump? 😂
If I was Joe, I’d say, Fine, Manchin and Sinema, if you aren’t on board, I’m gonna go on TV, tell them how it will help your states specifically, and make the announcement that you are holding it up. Bye.
@LisaBloom
LOL And for the remaining IT folks, in-depth code review, gone. User testing, gone. Meetings to ensure one batch of code doesn’t step on another, gone.
And eventually, Twitter, gone.

Honestly, the second-best thing I like about Biden is I rarely see him. The first is, he is amazingly good at his job.
@gtconway3d
I was thinking about Graham yesterday. He considered Biden a good man. He hated trump.
Then he flipped after a golf outing. Grift? Bribery? Secrets? We’ll never know.
And yesterday, trump threatened Haley with “information” he has. 🤔
@SenWhitehouse
Thank you for noticing Wray seems to be very quiet.
Also it seems the SS saw many warnings re 1/6 in advance.
Was Wray at his Koch office those days?
@DonLew87
I hope they both remain interested enough for trump to spill the beans.
(Though rural red voters who say they cannot vote for pro-choice also don’t care that FG is a grabber nor that Herschel paid for abortions. So I doubt it will make much difference.)
This is an example of a man who found the job he was meant for.
Daniel Dale is like a robot fact-checker that can also answer questions and discuss. Holy cow.
Obviously what Daniel Dale does here is impressive in being able to quickly list Trump’s lies, but what I appreciate about his fact-checking is that he doesn’t sugar coat it and calls lies for what they are.
“This was just a firehose of lying.”
HEY! Has the
@FBI
asked for help to ID this guy from the insurrection? You know, the guy on the INSIDE of the Capitol, waving frantically to the insurrectionists?
Sure he did not have a bat, but might he be a Congressman? I’m sure the
@FBI
is dying to find him. Or something.🤷🏻♀️
Why are pastors having such a hard time letting parishioners watch their sermons online? Could it be they are able to raise a lot more cash if they sit them in the pews?
@chrislhayes
Federalist Society's Leonard Leo seems to have used one of his dark money groups to finance the sale of Conway's polling firm, at the same time she was promoting his preferred Supreme Court picks to Donald Trump, Politico reports.
