    A protester at town hall in Milford, N.H., yells at Biden: “How much did you make from Ukraine?” Biden responds: “I’ve released 20 years of my tax returns. Your guy hasn’t released one. What’s he hiding?” Huge applause from the crowd.

    A very telling thing about American democracy is that the maximum legal campaign donation is indexed to inflation, but the minimum wage is not.

    people do realize that ~70% of American adults are already vaccinated, right? if you’re claiming Biden is starting a massive political fight here – and I’m not sure he actually is – he’s almost certainly on the winning side

    The inconsistent and partisan application of the law by the FBI has gone too far. The Democrats, for too long, have used our government agencies from the FBI to the IRS to target their political opponents. This inconceivable raid is an attack on our Republic.

    NEW: Here’s @ewarren’s newest plan. It would totally transform American elections. • Federal standards for ballot design and election security. • Automatic voter registration. • No more gerrymandering. • Election Day would be a federal holiday.

    Warren gets a sustained standing ovation for promising to prosecute federal employees who abuse or mistreat immigrants. “President Donald Trump may look the other way, President Elizabeth Warren will not.”

    Immigration activists are disrupting @ewarren’s speech with a sign declaring: “LEGALIZE 11 MILLION & REUNIFY ALL FAMILIES.” Warren: “I’m already there.”

    This quote doubles as one of the most effective arguments against the Electoral College I’ve ever heard.

    If Warnock pulls this out, the historical nature of his victory can’t be understated: He’ll be just the second Black person elected to the Senate from the South since the end of Reconstruction, and the first from the party supported by most Black Americans.
