I wish that @karaswisher could have finished this thought on @RealTimers , @billmaher . She’s so right. The media and everyone trapped in the indignation game are still playing on @realDonaldTrump ’s agenda. Turn away from the #UnindictedCoconspirator . He’s still playing us.

@chrislhayes @rtraister I wasn’t either — at the same place I have voted for 4 years. And I checked online this morning to make sure my voter status is active, which it is. The woman at the desk confided that whole apartment buildings were missing from the rolls. They helped me with an affidavit ballot.

I hope that @SenatorCollins gets as many boos and negative chants that she deserves: enough to keep her up at night regretting the #TaxBillScam boondoggle she voted for but didn’t even read. That’s not leadership. That’s selling out to lobbyists.

@briebriejoy I was flabbergasted by how too many painted @HillaryClinton as the #LGBTQIA pioneer, not @SenSanders , despite everything she has said about us over the years. I will also never forget what she said about Nancy Reagan’s HIV/AIDS “leadership.” That triangulation was bullshit.
