Hey ABC/Disney, how many times are you gonna let the bully steal your lunch money before you fight back?

Wouldn’t change a damn thing. Unless you can explain how someone like Boebert goes from nothing to multimillionaire immediately. The money and corruption would still be there. Going to per diem would just eliminate any honest non rich person from being elected and serving.

The No Kings protest map will help you find a place to exercise your First Amendment rights this weekend. (It's also a pretty good argument against the Electoral College.) www.nokings.org

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Seriously! Why is David Hogg at the DNC?

And don’t come at me with “ineffective Democrats should be primaried”—I agree with that. You can look at my feed and see it for yourself. What I’m asking isn’t about that.

My question is: why is he doing this as a sitting Vice Chair of the DNC?

HHS plans to cut the national suicide hotline’s program for LGBTQ youth In February, the program received an average of 2,100 contacts per day.

There's incompetence and stupidity...and then there's just plain and simple cruelty. The annual funding for this vital service to LGBTQ youth is $50 million, a minuscule sum.

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

it’s weird that we’re staring down the second unprecedented economic catastrophe in five years and instead of a novel coronavirus that will go on to kill millions of people this one is just “no one was willing to tell him no”

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

Mitch McConnell: Tariffs "will drive the cost of everything up. In other words, it will be paid for by American consumers. I mean, why would you want to get in a fight with your allies over this?"

Warren: I find it just laughable that the Republicans are saying. well, actually, the Republicans couldn't come together and cut a deal, but the Democrats should have gotten out there and saved their sorry butts. That’s just nuts

They’re going to shutdown the government before they even have a chance to run it.

Rep. McGovern: "This is what we're wasting time doing ... we're talking about studies to inform kids about communism in schools rather than talking about things that are gonna lower health care costs or food prices ... one of them tweeted 326 about bathrooms in a 72 hour period."
