“The Queen of the War Room.” Former senior advisor to Obama and Biden, VP Harris and Speaker Pelosi. CBS News Political Contributor. Proud momma & fashion girl!
SOOO today is my first day working for
@VP
. Feeling blessed (!!!) - and ready to go to work. Start following me at
@aetienne46
to get the latest on this phenomenal history-maker and
@POTUS
/VPOTUS's moves to get our nation back on track!! (promise to start tweeting more. lol) 🇺🇸🇺🇸
@VP
Harris isn’t getting the credit she deserves. The media seems to be missing it. She’s taking some calculated risks that are creating value for
@potus
, so it’s no suprise the GOP field is attacking her.

Not sure
@NancyPelosi
understands how many sistas would scratch her eyes out to take a selfie with
@llcoolj
. Me included. And she took it a step further to inquire about the difference between rap and hip hop. Dying!!
If you’re scared just say you’re scared but don’t insult the woman. Give Kamala Harris the credit she deserves. There is NOTHING small about the enthusiasm and momentum we’re seeing for her. In fact, it’s unprecedented!!

Under Rs, House chairmen repeated that there is no evidence of wrongdoing -- and then refused to look. They saw their obligation was to protect Trump, and did it rather well. Now Congress will look at the facts, and let the chips fall where they may.
It’s official! I’m stepping out of the shadows of the big political figures I’ve worked and joining the smart, dynamic CBS News team as a Political Contributor.
For those who know me, know that I prefer to not be in the limelight…but these times demand courage.
So pray for me!!
"It's very encouraging that [Democratic] candidates are out-raising their Republican opponents," says
@AshleyEtienne09
on midterm races.
She clarifies that "ads and money don't win elections," but rather, Pres. Biden's accomplishments "will make the difference."
CNN: This is the most amazing campaign launch I think we've ever seen. It’s from the top to the bottom. More than $100 million raised... That money is almost all grassroots. The enthusiasm is palpable
Me: Harris has been in the Oval Office, Sit Room, deeply immersed in domestic, foreign issues the last 4 yrs. She owns the record Biden is running on. “The question is, why would you discard that person?” she asked. “And no one has an answer for that because it’s nonsensical.”
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best
BREAKING: .
@SpeakerPelosi
asks Trump to reschedule State of the Union address bc of shutdown and “both the U.S. Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security have not been funded for 26 days now – with critical departments hamstrung by furloughs.”

@NewsHour
My first NYT oped!!! Here are my suggestions for
@VP
: tell us why.
- Ignore Trump. Ppl are already persuaded
- Switch the format. Less rallies and more town halls
- launch the Party’s first large scale paid influencer campaign
- bypass natl media. Go local and in culture media

@AshleyEtienne09
writes, there is one question Kamala Harris needs to answer: Why? “She has proved her credentials, prosecuted the case against Mr. Trump and clarified some policy views, but not her why.”
Read:
“Her ability to unpack an argument and understand both sides of an argument and then reconstruct it in a way that the average person can understand is an incredible skill set to have,” said Etienne, former communications director to Harris.
Moore: I don't know many people in Milwaukee who have 34 felony counts against them. So our crime rate is going to go up when he joins us in Milwaukee.
NEWS from CBC and Chairman
@RepHorsford
on the brutal murder of Tyre Nichols:
CBC is requesting a meeting with the President this week to push for negotiations on much needed national reforms to our justice system - specifically, the actions and conduct of our law enforcement.
Re
@SpeakerPelosi
future: “She’s in the power position. We overperformed, and the wave never materialized…So, the choice is hers to make. Two things I know about Pelosi: the decision will be made on her terms, and she’s going to keep us guessing.”
Me on VP Harris: she’s auditioning for the presidency right now. She’s well positioned to shore up confidence about Joe Biden while assuring people that she’s ready. She needs to do that in more profound ways. The campaign needs to create opportunities for her to do that.
I prosecuted sex predators. Trump is one.
I shut down for-profit scam colleges. He ran one.
I held big banks accountable. He's owned by them.
I'm not just prepared to take on Trump, I'm prepared to beat him.

profiles Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic leader in the U.S. House of Representatives, who, depending on the November elections, might become the first-ever Black speaker of the House. 60 Minutes, Sunday.
There is only one glaring similarity between ‘68 and this convention: Vice Presidents have to step out of the shadow to define themselves.
That’s what
@VP
will do on Thursday. I’m betting it’s going to be epic!!
Vice President Kamala Harris will accept her party's presidential nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next week. The Windy City hosted Democrats in 1968 – the year then-President Lyndon B. Johnson stepped aside and Vice President Hubert Humphrey moved to

There is nothing left of the Party of Lincoln. It’s owned by Trump - and will find itself another one of his failed ventures like those steaks, that bogus University & his “billionaire” status. The country deserves better!

destroyed the GOP, once again. Yesterday’s hearing was a gift for Democrats and Biden. It reminded the American ppl that Trump’s under indictment, in court for obstructing the investigation and attempted coverup.

The GOP need to get “woke” to it’s real problem. WSJ: “Mr. Trump has a perfect record of electoral defeat…he has led Republicans into one political fiasco after another.” Trump Is the Republican Party’s Biggest Loser - WSJ

I’ll say it: Donald Trump can be beat in the GOP presidential primary.
In politics the trend tells the story. Trump’s polling numbers are flat, fundraising is down, his legal fees are up, more indictments to come and impending trials.
The environment is rich.

@GOPLeader
McCarthy is negotiating to make it easier for his Members to get rid of him. Confused why he even wants the job. It’s clear where this ends.
Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California was still battling for the votes to become speaker of the House after losing a half-dozen consecutive votes for the post. The House is set to plunge back into the fight after adjourning on Wednesday with no resolution.
Wait…what? So at today’s Oversight Chairman
