- BREAKING: Hillary Clinton has pulled out of the Fortune Most Powerful Women summit -- a source close to the decision says she wouldn't share a bill with Kirstjen Nielsen.
- Having someone in Congress who confronts power as plainly and directly and unsparingly as @AOC is a pleasure greater than I'd ever imagined possible.
- my least popular take is that D.C. should have a themed bar for every state, each residing on its respective state street, and that state's laws should applyThere's a Florida-inspired bar coming to DC bit.ly/3ze36Wp
- 🚨🚨🚨 Slate is hiring for a TON of editorial positions right now. These are great jobs with great people! Thread:
- imagine thinking “the Deep South” and NOT thinking of black civil rights leaders
- Replying to @c_cauterucciif you’re not watching this LGBTQ town hall, wow are you missing something strange. Biden just joked that he was about to come out as gay, then said the public discourse about gays used to be “all about round the clock sex”
- every time Lindsey Graham says "lady," a woman signs up to run for office
- .....and now Biden pretends to kiss Anderson Cooper..?!?? I’m not sure I dig this “prove how down with queers I am by flirting with them” strategy
- another one for the "the only admirable women these men can think of are the ones that enable their own success" files
- Agree, and also - I am filled with rage at all the many, many men who have taken our money and our votes, edging other candidates out, with the promise of making the country fairer and better, only to jeopardize the whole project with their narcissism and horniness.
- We can’t speak about our abuse if it makes our abusers look bad. We can’t teach American history if it makes white people feel bad. The law is a useful tool for people who want to do wrong, get away with it, and scrub it from public memory
- I wrote about the Mueller report as a biography of a deeply thirsty, egomaniacal, unlikeable president
- yeah me and my friends all put the same woman's name in our yearbook without her knowledge as a joke about how much we admired her
