    The Supreme Court has gone rogue. We are in a full-blown Constitutional crisis. Congress must act. And we must pressure Congress to act, while it still can. #TheMajority

    Please take note of how dramatically Twitter has changed since the freezing of Russian assets. Suddenly all those anti-Biden “American patriots” have disappeared.

    My read is that Trump is losing every woman in America. We have all dealt with this guy.

    Make no mistake: Trump will not stop until he is stopped. It's not that he won't; it's that a personality like his can't. He is feral and dangerous, and pretending he has hit bottom is a terrible mistake. There is always a new low to which he can sink.

    Why is everyone talking about Biden's voice without mentioning that Trump didn't say a single true thing in the entire debate?

    This is fascinating. No one has ever crossed him. He can't function when they do. Fascinating.

    I’m a teacher. I would never in a million years let a classroom turn into this.

    Let’s not let the headline grabbing KKKaucus distract us from the fact that the Treasury Department just officially linked the 2016 Trump campaign to Russian intelligence.

    Uncomfortable with Pottinger calling this election close. It wasn't. 7 million popular majority; 306 to 232 Electoral College. #HATH

    I am just so tired of listening to MAGA Republicans lie. Just... weary.

    Let's keep up pressure to pass a voting rights law that makes it easy to vote, ends partisan gerrymandering, and stops the flood of dark money into elections. That, right there, would go a long way toward helping us keep our democracy.

    Just a reminder that what has driven us into debt is not Social Security and Medicare, but rather the George W. Bush tax cuts and the Trump tax cuts, both of which disproportionately benefited the wealthy and corporations.

    Here is Mike Johnson calling to cut Social Security and Medicare: “We’ve got to think about long-term reforms to those programs”

    When people say Trump is still dangerous, they are missing the point: Trump is MORE dangerous now than he was before Wednesday. Narcissists can only escalate, never back down. He will get worse, and do worse, until he is removed.
