my view on the Israel-Palestine conflict is that it’s been going on for more than a century & there are shades of gray on both sides. It’s is not a simple story of good vs evil. This may sound obvious but acknowledging complexity too often gets you tarred as a heinous person.

This has gotten worse with each hearing that passes. It continues because no one is ever held accountable. It's not just disinformation, it taints the official record making it harder for future generations to parse the truth.

It should be illegal for Senators and House Members to lie blatantly in committee questions. It's really disgusting, a open wound against the idea of Democracy, and is absolutely NON-STOP. They should be formally censured at least.

Throughout the primary, I would ask Democratic presidential candidates "what's your priority. What's the first bill you move." No one ever wanted to give a clean answer, understanably, but we're seeing the inability to prioritize play out in real time.

@ewarren I've said it for a while, but if anyone could resurrect the position of Senate Majority Leader after McConnell's term is done it would be @ewarren . She'd bring decency back to the role, and you bet she'd get stuff done.

My biggest worry isn't Trump or the GOP. It's the people who are so easily pacified by nonsense when they should be outraged. They're not just accepting the lies, they're furiously insisting that less chocolate rations is an increase. It's frightening.

Maybe that shouldn't be so surprising when the campaign promises that mattered to this demographic were all broken, and whenever they voice their concerns they're openly mocked by party leadership. Maybe.

It took less than one hour to debunk this story. In the before times it wouldn't even have made it to print. Instead it got RTed almost 5000 times. Unless we learn to slow down again "the discourse" will remain unproductive and easy to manipulate. We need to do better.
