@ShannonBream
So what?
Supreme Court Justices should hold themselves to a certain standard as having sworn to uphold the Constitution or they should resign.
What they shouldn’t do is act like grievance-filled toddlers.
Alito is an embarrassment & a disgrace to America.
@ScottforFlorida
Sorry my dude, this is America, the greatest country on earth.
Move to North Korea if you want to impose restrictions on citizens traveling about the country.
@RepNancyMace
That all seems a little insincere when you are okay with President Trump’s deep tax cuts for billionaires that increased the national debt by $8 Trillion, or 40%.
@JesseKellyDC
What he meant by “moral people” is people of principle, who abide by the results of free & fair elections, who don’t spread disinformation & foment insurrections when they lose.
If Fanni Willis has a conflict of interest b/c a man may have paid for her airfare, imagine how serious it’d be if a Supreme Court Justice accepted flights on private jets, luxury vacations & his nephew’s private school paid for by wealthy patrons who have business before Court?
If Fani Willis had a conflict of interest because a man might have paid for a plane ticket, imagine how serious it would be if a former President's son-in-law got $2 billion after overlooking the murder of an American citizen.
@Howard_Pen4Rent
I don’t know. How do the current conservative Justices on the Supreme Court feel about having gotten nominated by virtue of the narrow litmus test required by the Federalist Society?
If those same jurists had had to compete with jurists across the political spectrum, including

I was fortunate to graduate debt free, but I don’t object to those who’ve had to bear heavy debt burdens getting a break.
More people benefited from Biden’s student debt relief than Trump’s tax cuts for billionaires, yet folks have a problem with helping average Americans?
@jenrosesmithvt
Your dad definitely did not choose the wrong life, and for him to share & pass down his love of the mountains to you, how very special. My late father similarly passed down a love of the woods & hiking to me. Here’s us in the Olympics when I was a kid.
@MattWallace888
So “Joe Biden’s weaponized, politically motivated Justice Department” has just charged…his own son.
Neither George Soros nor Bill Gates have been credibly linked to any wrongdoing, just extremist conspiracy nonsense & hyperbole.
Donald Trump has a lifelong trail of grift &
@NateSilver538
This is a highly disingenuous tweet.
Show many any of the declared GOP 2024 presidential candidates who have forcefully rejected the hate & divisiveness peddled by Trump & have acknowledged that the 2024 election was free & fair & not “stolen”?
@reckless
To come into a business & start changing things on day 1 before assessing your management team, understanding division operations & staff roles & building trust among employees is excruciatingly poor management. /2
@RepNancyMace
What exactly did the FBI do? Their investigation led to 6 Trump campaign officials being convicted of felonies.
Are you saying those 6 were wrongly convicted? Seems like the FBI was just upholding the law in pursuing people who committed criminal acts.
@reckless
Every new owner or new chief executive of a business that I have either hired, advised, worked for or witnessed in action gave him/herself 3-6 months to do deep dives in every aspect of the business to understand it completely before changing things, sometimes substantially. /1

It has become clear over the last two years that the American educational system has dismally failed at teaching folks about probability & comparative risks.
@kylenabecker
Those of us who live in the reality based world know that that is absolutely not true. And you’re going to have to add the recent indictment under the Espionage Act to the 215 indictments of Trump administration & campaign officials listed below.
Trump was the worst. He not only
@EWErickson
You fail to mention that the US government broke treaty after treaty with the Indians as evidenced by the most famous quote attributed to President Andrew Jackson.
It is also why a conservative like Justice Gorsuch, steeped in originalism, is ready to give over the entire state
George Washington had his troops all vaccinated against small pox when they wintered at Valley Forge, so the founders’ views on public health are not just a matter of idle speculation.
Every new transmission of Covid risks a mutation, and these mutations eventually might be one that can defeat the vaccine or antibodies from a previous infection. I doubt our founders would be proud of those who virtue signal their opposition, so get vaccinated.
@DeSantisWarRoom
It is pathetic that your thirst for self promotion has led you to such noxious culture nonsense as supporting vile men who committed treason against our great country.
@RepSherrill
There’s nothing in the Constitution requiring a Senate rule allowing a single Senator to hold up a nomination.
Democrats are the majority party in the Senate, change the damn rule.
@RandPaul
Of course you would. No matter that you will be weakening America by holding up critical nominations to federal leadership positions with your one man tantrum, but hey you do you.
@JasonSmithMO
Yes, similar to MAGA, there are flags that trigger me as well Congressman.
Those who wave the Ukrainian flag support a free, democratic world.
I am proud that my country is supporting their fight against invasion by the army of a brutal dictator, who also seeks to harm America.
@amandacarpenter
What I don’t understand is how a court of law would let this happen, letting them take the equipment unsupervised and without detailed restrictions on what they can do with it.
The local jurisdiction should look at whether the judge should be recalled.

Honest question: have you actually *read* the Mueller Report or the Republican Senate Committee Report?
Because both reports found clear collusion between the Trump campaign & Russia.

For some in the comments thread, this is why saying “all lives matter” or similar things doesn’t really make sense.
Yes everyone’s life matters & that’s why we finally need to address the legacy injustices of 350 years of slavery & Jim Crow.
@laurenboebert
Question: did you vote for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill? Because we have mainly Republicans to thank for decades of underinvesting in US infrastructure.
@ChrisMurphyCT
Sorry but no.
There is no compromising or alliance building with religious extremists intent on taking away personal rights enjoyed by Americans, curbing regulations that protect our environment and fight climate change, and dismantling the modern social welfare state.
@AlexiLalas
@GovRonDeSantis
Can you state any policies that he actually discussed or put forth without dodging the question?
Railing on our supposed “woke” military in response to a question on his position on Ukraine seems like the opposite of substantive.
@tedcruz
That is not only untrue but it is an incredibly disrespectful thing to say about public health professionals who have dedicated their lives to protecting Americans from novel & deadly infectious diseases.
What exactly have you done
@tedcruz
to make the lives of Americans better?
@GovRonDeSantis
“mandate they be allowed” lol what incredible double speak.
No Governor, it’s called “limited government” - allowing parents & children to make the decisions that work best for themselves.
@Travis_Tritten
He's from Washington State, where people tend to be plain spoken and focused on the job at hand. Thank you Secretary Mattis for your service
@RepTiffany
Except that the Mueller Report, the Republican Senate Committee Report & Durham in his testimony today all presented factual evidence that there was collusion between Trump & Russia.
How disappointing that you would participate in the attempted cover up & spread disinformation.
@GregAbbott_TX
Unfortunately, the joke is on your constituents in you using their hard earned taxpayer dollars to fund culture war stunts that benefit no one but yourself.

@Hertz
And then there is this classic from 1996. An Olympics ticket sales rep not selling tickets to a man from Santa Fe because he “did not live in the US.”
Our public schools have long needed to do a better job teaching geography.
Switching Christmas to 12/25 was a masterstroke by the Ukrainians in continuing to distance themselves from Russia & build closer ties to Europe.
Whether or not the GOP Senate Caucus comes to its senses, Russia will never be able to conquer the indomitable Ukrainian spirit.
@ElbridgeColby
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has unified Europe, strengthened NATO & will degrade the ability of a top American adversary to continue creating chaos across the free world. The last point, at a fraction of what it would cost to engage in an arms race with Russia.

That’s just the thing. People who care about getting businesses & casinos reopened & aren’t just partisan hacks understand that Trump screwed us with his narcissism & incompetence, costing the economy & millions of jobs.

Would you prefer that
@POTUS
send out wild, inflammatory tweets?
You were at the CIA, not State Department. There is value often in unsettled times in not speaking.
@paulkrugman
It’s sad because it’s easy for those defending the adminstration’s incompetence to blame it on fate, it was an act of nature & nothing could be done. The truth is, American epidemiologists are the best in the world & had strategies mapped out that would have stopped it cold.
@megynkelly
So, are you saying that President Biden forced the one-term twice-impeached former president to improperly take thousands of sensitive top secret documents from the White House after he lost, then hiding & refusing to give those documents back when asked by federal law
@JohnBrennan
I noticed those disagreeing with you on Twitter are not disagreeing with the substance of what you say, but just throwing out insults & inanities because of their lack of knowledge on national security & their blind following of Trump.
Heaven help us. We are becoming Idiocracy.
@BasedMikeLee
Sorry, but advocating that the federal judicial ethics code apply to Supreme Court Justices is neither a liberal nor conservative issue, it is a good governance issue.
It is past time for the Supreme Court to clean up its act.

Shame on Florida.

To learn that many of the antisemitic acts cited in news reports were neither done by Columbia students nor did some didn’t even take place on campus makes me livid at some of these media sources.
Smearing the university’s good name for eyeballs is despicable.

No, it’s federal law enforcement holding a corrupt grifter accountable.

This whole “elites made fun of the masses” is a false narrative. Movies & TV shows throughout the decades have made fun of everyone.

One of the best conventions ever from a television viewer’s standpoint. The party has risen to the challenge of the times but I also think the pandemic has resulted in innovations that should stick, such as the fun & inspirational roll call that spanned the entire nation.

I’ve had Republican friends tell me that me volunteering for Congressional candidates in other parts of my state or the country shouldn’t be allowed.
But Congress sets policy for the entire country. It doesn’t matter that you can’t vote for them, they all affect our lives.
@AliVelshi
I wish the US had a publication as principled as Haaretz in the lead up to the illegal invasion of Iraq. Maybe that would have made Americans pause & think.

So, it appears you understand the problem with former President Trump storing classified documents haphazardly in a facility with loose security & crawling with people? As well as Trump’s refusal to cooperate with the DOJ & return the documents?

Putting aside the fact that your myopic focus on inflation ignores the great jobs numbers & the bipartisan legislation

passed to make significant investments in our crumbling infrastructure for the first time in years, your take ignores the fact that inflation has dropped

I’m not happy with how all the bugs in the platform are now hampering local disaster agencies
@JackPosobiec
At a certain point, the conservative outrage machine just becomes farcical, a self parody.
Without hard proof of the submersible having met a catastrophic end, the rescue effort was right to proceed as if there was still hope.
Without greater and immediate support, the war will settle into a stalemate, which is only to Putin’s advantage. In the end, the West will be judged by what happened during the last year of the war, not by what happened in the first." 15/ END
@steve_vladeck
It fits the whole trend the last 8 years of grievance mongering in Evangelical America.
I don’t like it, so even though it doesn’t directly affect me, I’m going to sue . . .
The courts accommodating nanny statism from the right is quite something to see.

I’m in my 50s but still this is so on point! I’ve noticed it independently. The major initiatives Democrats have “compromised” & “worked across the aisle on” in the last 30 years - mandatory minimum sentencing, Wall Street deregulation, the Iraq War - have all ended in disaster.

It is disappointing that, even though as a conservative you’ve been able to open your eyes & see Trump’s corrosive anti-democratic effect on our country, you still plug anti-democratic conservative propaganda about the extremists on the Supreme Court.
To use Roberts’ analogy,
@NaveedAJamali
Cruz, Rubio, Graham
All the ones who expressed such moral outrage in 2016, but then folded like cheap suits when they figured out what they needed to do to stay close to power.

Biden is responsible for bipartisan bills on infrastructure (much needed), working with industry to restore critical industries, gun safety & so much more.
To dismiss his accomplishments is ignoring the facts my friend.
@RanchHand0351
Whether it’s going to get “ugly” or not is completely beside the point.
Where there is significant evidence of criminal wrongdoing, under our system of justice people should be held to account no matter how rich or powerful or well-connected they are.
