@cmclymer 21 years in and exactly this thread...been out for 8 years now and I can still close my eyes and know every piece, sequence of that weapon, every step in clearing a building, how to move to contact, every single detail. One does not joke about nukes. One does not "play" at POTUS.

@DNC @RepJeffries @SenSchumer @SpeakerPelosi And secondly, what is wrong with you? Are you watching the RNC? It's a joke. It's low energy and sad. The Trump-Vance ticket is weak. Corrupt. Criminal. Anti-American. The GOP has no ground game. Limited money. Enough with this shameful, shameful, thankless behavior. Let's go

Exceptional thread. I often think of Ursula K. Le Guin saying "We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings". The point is--systems that seem immutable, aren't. SCOTUS can change.

2. This is why we should expand the Court to 13. It was set to 9 when there were 9 districts. Now there are 13, so fairness and precedent makes the expansion logical. "Radical" is to keep it this small. Let's add meaningful American representation to the Court ASAP. 18/

@BeschlossDC He addressed reality as only a person who has been in the office can. It was exactly what was needed in this time--serious, truthful, and focused completely on the welfare of this country.

@PattyMurray As one of your constituents--this is unacceptable. It's as if you do not understand the gravity of this moment. You keep behaving as if it's all normal business, normal government, when we have an active insurgency. You're a senior Senator, ask for a revote and be present.
