Absolutely appalling. No wonder there’s a huge effort to prevent teaching the truth of American history. More than 100 years later, we’re devolving instead of evolving.

@BarackObama
But we had 8 years of Barack Obama. I’m praying in 100 years, Trump will be seen as an aberration, an insignificant blip in our history. One of the presidents whose name is barely remembered.
@WalshFreedom
Texas cannot defy the Supreme Court. Or else we all can. The merits of the specific issue are irrelevant. We’re a country of laws or we’re not. I guess we’re going to find out. But right now we’ve found out what you are.
@ZaleskiLuke
And still totally worth it. A high point in American history. I can still remember the joy on election night 2008. Nothing can take that away. Or the pride in how President Obama conducted himself in office and on the world stage. Imperishable.

@senatemajldr
Read this article and weep. If you want Trump to keep his stranglehold on you and your party, by all means, vote to acquit. But the trial is a gift to you. Rid yourself and the GOP of this poison forever. Now is your chance.
@lawofruby
In other words, we are lost. We need a Democratic president and a filibuster-proof senate to fix this. Time to add justices. 13 for the 13 districts. I never wanted this before. But we need it now. It's an emergency. This ruling needs to overturned.
@RepPfluger
Cool with that. What part don't you understand? You're in Congress. FBI, with court approval, can search when there's a belief a crime has been committed .

Enslaved people were counted as 3/5 to add to the population in slave-holding states to increase representation in the House. That’s what it was about. For everything else, enslaved people counted for nothing—no rights. No wonder they don’t want this history taught.

How healing will it be when the rapist (as so many are date rapes ) claim paternal rights to the baby? And the victims are forced into lifelong connection with their rapist? I would not find that healing in any way.

I know you have too much on your plate already. I'm so grateful that you're serving--it means competence, intelligence and ethics are back. But please...find a way to remove Mr. Ellis. He doesn't belong in the NSA.

I do remember. She didn’t deserve the kindness. And she didn’t pay it forward. Did not invite Jill Biden for the customary visit post-Biden’s election. She’s Donald in high heels.
@funder
I try to keep it clean here. But I cannot resist. Maybe Donald is just “schitting” himself in fear. He knows incoming Chairman Adam Schiff will be uncovering all his dirty dealings. Trump is not a toddler. He’s a purposeful lying con man. Mueller was Senate confirmed twice.
@SethAbramson
We don’t need to do or be anything. It’s out of our hands. He either will or won’t be indicted. I hope he will. And I hope it will be the first of many.
@OccupyDemocrats
This is so long overdue. We’ve been under reacting to the danger and we must meet their aggression against our democracy with every legal means at our disposal.
@lyndastraffin
Of course there are. Boomers fought for civil rights, for equality for women, for the environment, against the Vietnam war. Plenty of us are committed liberal Democrats and proud of it.
@kaitlancollins
A person incapable of admitting an error, or having a regret, or apologizing has a defective personality. It's dangerous in a president.

Can you imagine how little we care about what President Biden did in 1981? We care about what he’s doing now and in the future. (We do care about what you didn’t do to protect students under your care at Ohio State.)

. America’s first Black president, elected 2x with popular and electoral votes, was prevented from filling a SC seat 9 mos. before an election. Will we allow an impeached president to fill one while elections (early in-person & mail-in voting is ongoing?

They didn’t go after a president. Apparently, the OLC opinion controls. Trump is a former president, otherwise known as an ordinary citizen. Not above the law.

Read a book called Saving Italy. About the extraordinary efforts made by the US military, and others, to save and protect cultural monuments and art during WWII. We’ve come a long way. In the wrong direction.

They are amazing. But they should not have had to do this. How much can we ask of citizens, and especially Black citizens who have done so much already with little thank? It’s enough. Really.

My law degree is from the University of Law&Order Reruns. But even I could figure out that low level gofers should not have access to US classified docs. Pity that a former POTUS didn’t get that. Or didn’t care.
@FrankSowa1
We don’t need a “unified peaceful transition”. On Jan 20th at noon CJ Roberts will swear in Joe Biden. He will then become President Biden. No one cares if Trump attends the inauguration. Trump holds no cards. There’s nothing to negotiate. It’s not a “deal” of any kind.

Katie Hill should re-group and re-run for her seat. Explain to her constituents, apologize (if that is merited), and get her seat back!
@PeteSouza
Trump's first foundational lie was that he was billionaire who would self-fund and therefore be beholden to no one. It's an appealing pitch to people who think gov. is corrupted by monied interests.Why he got away with such a huge lie is a mystery. He didn't fund for one minute.
@gtconway3d
@Dalocoengineer
How many other GOPers are funded by Russian money? This is a long a deep game played by Putin. He reached down as far as a nobody like Johnson. He can’t be the only one.
@JoeNBC
Krebs wasn’t a whistleblower. He was a department head doing his job. And got fired for not repeating Trump’s lies. He needs protection immediately.

@zen4ever2us
He is the president's son. Whatever he has done does not change that. I didn't hear anyone complaining that Ivanka and Jared attended state dinners.
@SenSchumer
The president is under investigation for collusion and possibly conspiracy. His close associates are adjudicated guilty or have pleaded guilty. I don't care what Kavanaugh says or doesn't say. Trump should not be appointed a SC justice at this time.
@Victorshi2020
He should not have moved stuff into the Speaker's Office. I think that just pissed off the people already inclined against him. As if he felt like he could write them off.
@SteveSchmidtSES
@POTUS
Yes. I loved how elegant and impeccable President Obama was and likewise, it’s a pleasure to see the same with President Biden—including his Rolex. Proud to have him representing America.
@BradMossEsq
Took the Fifth at one of his depositions. His opinion before needing the protections he'd be happy to strip away from others: “You see the mob takes the Fifth,” Trump said during a 2016 rally in Iowa. “If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”

McCain isn't in a position to do anything right now. But Flake and Corker can caucus with the Democrats or switch parties altogether. And any other Republican with a conscience and a sense of patriotism could too. You don't have to be retiring to do the right thing.
@ChiuHeather
@TSearcaigh
I didn't feel this through the 80's 90's. Something changed. We elected a black president and the GOPers lost their minds and their ethics. I would like to see them all gone. Replace them with something I can totally disagree with but not viscerally despise.

It’s not a dangerous procedure when performed by a competent doctor. And some women do want an abortion. It’s a personal decision and no one other than the woman needs to weigh in.
@WajahatAli
Correct answer: Democrat/Democrat. Let’s get real. We have to back whoever becomes the nominee and their choice for VP. I love Warren. But I’m ready for Williamson if need be. Every one of them is better than Trump. It’s an emergency.

I don’t understand how this is the government’s concern. It’s not illegal to use escorts. Or to ask your family for money if you need it. Is there evidence of financial misdeeds? This sounds private. And I’d willing to bet many politicians, including in the GOP have used them.
@realTuckFrumper
@courageousgirl2
He is insane. Pfizer CEO said they weren’t part of Warp Speed. They took no development money. So Trump couldn’t take credit for this vaccine regardless of timing. But his cultists are just mesmerized. Anyway, Covid was supposed to vanish after Nov 3rd. So who needs a vaccine ?
@jamie_raskin
Not our system? That is exactly what happened in the Nixon case. Underlings did serious prison time. Nixon skated. Ford’s pardon was a terrible error of judgement. We’re paying for it now.
Thank you & the whole Committee for your honorable service to our country.
@TrueFactsStated
Read NYTimes’ brilliant Charles Blow. There’s a great sentence in there, the most pointed advice for Democrats in general: “We have to stop waiting for politicians to display courage and instead start to instill fear in them.”
@MarkHamill
I hope the J6 Committee cordially invites him -- publicly -- to testify under oath. They should invite him and post the invitation on social media and on Fox.
@kylegriffin1
Great news. But these disgusting attempts to subvert the will of the voters has to end. Candidates and parties need to win elections at the ballot box, not steal them through corrupt acts and lawsuits. I’m ashamed of what’s happening in our country with not a word from the GOP.
@SwampWitchLeigh
I just got home from grocery. Store sign says fully vaccinated do not need to wear masks inside. Everyone inside was wearing mask. And this is in a highly vaccinated part of NYC with low positivity rates. Draw whatever conclusions you like. I certainly wore my mask.

Thank you for being so crystal clear about what’s at stake -our autonomy, our bodily integrity. The heart rending stories of rape, incest, are indeed heart rending. But every pregnant woman who doesn’t want to be should have safe, local access to an abortion. No tragedy needed.

I think that might not be a true quote. I’d like to see it sourced. And I’d like to see McConnell in the Senate, suffering as Minority Leader.
