Watching

Brennan Center talk on his book, "Impeach: The Case Against Donald Trump". Such clarity of thought and concept! I'm ordering the book. Let's commit to taking back our democratic power and educating ourselves on what we can be doing - and how. It's our job!

Yes, as a mainer, I can tell you your info is right on. We don't trust Collins - she betrayed us badly, and on critical people (Kavanaugh) and issues (tax break for wealthy). We are done with her. Really done.

@NatashaBertrand
THIS is the question! They are going to investigate their own misdeed, after they already demonstrated a willingness to do it, continue it, and cover it up. Not reassuring. We are in so much trouble.
@tburages
Tami, can I just say that you've done more to shed light on the most important aspects of what has been happening to our democracy, how its happening and by whose hand(s). I appreciate your hard work.
The world is watching how we handle this assault on our hard-fought Democracy. Any country can be infected the way ours has been; our ability to cut out the disease & return to a strong democracy is how we can demonstrate the leadership the world has come to expect from us.

The very definition of embarrassment is when you are a 23 year old female in a staff meeting of 20 older men, and you are being told to put their comments about your legs in the meeting minutes. This was in 1985. Not uncommon behavior, even then.
@maddow
We can all be as outraged as possible, but NOTHING will change unless and until our "representatives" in congress actually begin representing our interests, instead of their own.
@Strandjunker
I'm really worried we won't get to herd immunity, now. If we don't, it'll be as if we did nothing, a year from now. That needs to be Message One going forward.
@Eiggam5955
I'm telling you, she didn't win re-election in Maine... I'm a Mainer and many, many more wanted her gone than wanted her back in. We all collectively said WTAF when she was declared the winner.
@AlanDersh
That IS what you said. Stop Gaslighting, Alan. Do you realize you are helping dismantle our precious Democracy? No respect for your legacy - you erased it all in one day.
The height of hypocrisy: Republicans' condemnation of our pull-out from Afghanistan, citing the loss of Afghan women's rights... directly after they orchestrated the removal of women's bodily autonomy here at home.

@jamie_raskin
I watched the whole thing. It felt like my duty to witness. I also read the Mueller Report, or at least what we were allowed to see. Everyone must step up their civic pride game to save our way of life. I'm ready.
@ResisterSis20
In other news, a senator's hair spontaneously combusted this morning. Marshmallows were toasted and singing could be heard in the chamber before the flames were reluctantly extinguished. Update at 11.
@Bajagirl2
The path to truth and light can be so very fraught. We care that you are out there, in your place, heart beating and mind moving forward.
Hugs...

I'm tired of the Democrats and their "Political Calculations" about impeachment, or even oversight hearings. They are frozen in fear while our Democracy is being burned to the ground. Everyone needs to contact their congressional rep and demand action! I have.
@itsJeffTiedrich
I live for the day when Trump's "presidency" is just an American cautionary tale, closely studied and never repeated. I hope we get the chance to completely befuddle future generations with our inexplicable choices - knowing this era was an anomaly.

So so sorry Lisa! I'm crying for both of you. The most loving (and hardest!) thing you can do for your pet is knowing when you must say goodbye and being with them at the end. Hugs!

My Sweet Sandy Jane. Found in a condemned house with 58 other cats... more than half of them dead or dying. Animal hoarding is a real thing! She was 6 weeks old. Now she's 10.
Today, Senate Republicans blocked a domestic terror bill that would have given us a chance to address gun violence in our schools. The NRA barks an order, they comply.
@SpeakerPelosi
This action is destroying my life and health. I worked almost 40 years and now that I need health care and am fully willing to pay for it, it's being chipped away and I'm going broke on substandard coverage. The wrong people are being hurt and the wrong people being rewarded!
@OfficialDadpool
I do vet. Carefully. In fact, I'm sitting outside your house right now making sure you don't stay up too late. 😜 Seriously, I put in the work and reap the rewards (no unnecessary drama, no being ganged up on, etc.)
@BillKristol
@DemForLife3
If we don't identify this as a constitutional crisis, I'm not sure what is. "Boiling the frog" scenario. Don't let the multiple incremental steps blind you to where we now find ourselves. Look back to where we started, and understand how far we have traveled from the norm.
@MonicaLewinsky
I woke with a steely-eyed resolve to not only STOP the systemic and building over-reach of the right, on this and other issues, but to INNOCULATE against future power grabs by actively supporting legislation that preserves OUR power as WTP.
@yankees1958
My grandfather (Solomon Brown) fled Berlin Nov '38, after Kristallnacht, pregnant wife in tow. Five months later my mother was the first of their seven kids to be born in America. His determination runs through all of us. We are his legacy. 🔯
@BriansNewHeart
Don't even give them s second thought. They don't even know you, hon. You do you, and let them do the ass that they apparently are. Get some sleep, ok? Tomorrow will be challenging...

I thought a person had to have Legal Standing to sue someone. Which I thought meant that the sued person's action caused them harm in some way. Is Texas giving all citizens Legal Standing over women's bodies? Please help me understand why this can be legal!

@vwheato
I saw parallels there, too. An almost militant autocratic patriarchal society masquerading as a "benevolent dictatorship". Screw that!
