A reminder that an oppressed people cannot just “vote” their way out of misery. Republicans are spending $20 million to make it harder for black people to “just vote” and they’ve deliberately suppressed the vote for decades.......

’s report on the Trump White House failing to set up a legal defense fund for staffers is a lesson to all political operatives. No matter how attractive the gig might be, always be mindful of how you’re valued by those you work for.

Here’s to hoping a lot of you see 45’s disgusting behavior towards Black women as a reflection of why we should be heard when we call out the glaring differences in how we are treated in professional settings.
This happened:
@SenWhitehouse
followed up in writing with Amy Coney Barrett (SOP) and asked whether the Constitution allows for abortion to be a crime punishable by death and she declined to answer. !!!!!
Sources tell us there is a growing divide inside WH over whether Trump should do more to confront the coronavirus pandemic or keep his focus on reopening the economy.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi fired back at a reporter who asked whether she hates Trump. “I resent your using the word ‘hate’ in a sentence that addresses me. I don’t hate anyone… so don’t mess with me when it comes to words like that.”
In the course of clearing the streets and restoring order at Lake Street and Snelling Avenue, four people were arrested by State Patrol troopers, including three members of a CNN crew. The three were released once they were confirmed to be members of the media.

Vivek Ramaswamy is going all-in on inflammatory rhetoric because he's already learned from Trump that the media is more likely to feed him attention and won't hold him accountable while they do it. Clicks, ratings, spectacle, and cowardice. Political media have learned nothing.

We should definitely set parameters and extreme instances (i.e. terrorism, massacres, etc.) should be looked at closely. But let's elevate the conversation. Disenfranchisement is one of many unintended consequences of mass incarceration and that's what we should be speaking to.
PSA: a lot of folks didn't grow up with parents who taught them things like how to do a proper cover letter or resume or interview or dress professionally. When young people apply for a job, don't publicly shame them for not knowing these things. Offer feedback privately.

For 77 days, President Biden has ignored the impending debt ceiling crisis.
Instead of leaving town today to give a speech, Biden should sit down with me, find agreement, and avoid the prospect of his administration bumbling into the first default in our nation’s history.
