When I called
@Tim_Walz
this morning to ask him to join our campaign, I shared my deep level of respect for him and the work we've done together.
We're going to unify this country and we're going to win.
Let's go get this done.
@chuckwoolery
How is it that he “divided” everyone .... he was always inclusive in his policies and words. Just because many, you included, hated him- doesn’t mean he divided the country. It was your hate for a black president that divided the country.
I visited the U.S.-Mexico border to listen and to learn. Partisan pundits are no substitute for seeing for yourself. (Disclaimer: the border is not a monolith. The border in California is different from TX or AZ—in geography, in history, and in economy.) THREAD on what I saw. ⬇️
@DrGJackBrown
We all want the same thing … except the few hundred at the very tippy top. Yet they pay off one party - which creates gridlock in Congress.
Last night I just had enough. I’m sick and tired of transgender kids getting bullied. So I went to the Senate floor to call out the adults who relentlessly and shamelessly target these kids.
I hope you’ll watch this.
Brian Flores effectively had to end his chances at coaching in the NFL to point out what we already know about discrimination in the hiring process for Head Coaches in the NFL.

This is a non-issue. Sotomayor wrote a book. All income was disclosed. And a judge makes the determination on whether they recuse themselves based on the content of a case. You’re trying to manufacture a “what about” to distract from Thomas’ sneaky acceptance of gifts.

That’s like asking if the Louisiana Purchase or the Revolutionary War should be taught. Of course. There is no other correct answer.
@chrislhayes
If I’m the Dems, I’d be focusing my energy not on mail in ballots, but early voting. Try to get as much turnout in the month prior to election as possible. Then we won’t have the long lines on Election Day.
@cbouzy
It’s sad … but it’s moving in the right direction. Focus on the win. We have to hold off this last dying gasp of the old, white guard. Times they are a changing!
@Jim_Jordan
It was election “day” … that was the last day for voters to cast their ballot. The results have never been fully resolved on that day. Stop trying to mislead the public.

Been trying to explain this to my “right leaning” friends for year … Fox does an extremely effective job of brainwashing though.
I’ve always liked Pope Francis, personally. As far as church leaders go, he’s extremely enlightened. This is the message of inclusion the church should be sending - not the political hate that American church leaders are displaying. Fun article too 😉
I have been nothing but impressed with Adam Schiff since seeing him run the impeachment for the House … he’s a wonderful politician and advocate and will be a great Senator for California
✌️❤️😎
Having been a federal prosecutor, I know you don’t disparage a witness while declining to prosecute them.
Not if you’re a professional, instead of a partisan.
And yet — that’s exactly what Robert Hur did.
He made a choice.
And it was a terrible one.

@shaunking
You consider this a “Level 10 disaster” ???
He didn’t lose his cool or blow up ... he shrugged off whether he has been cognitively tested - because he doesn’t need to be - just as normal people don’t need to be. Just because Trump says Biden is slipping doesn’t make it true.
The Colorado shooter’s dad on finding out his son murdered people: “They started telling me about the incident, a shooting... And then I go on to find out it’s a gay bar. I got scared, ‘Shit, is he gay?’ And he’s not gay, so I said, phew… I am a conservative Republican.” (

That isn’t “tucking” or “binding” … so it’s not ok to sell Pride merchandise now either? You do realize it’s not illegal to be gay, or to support the gay community, right?

show three billionaire families -- the DeVoses, the Bradleys and the Scaifes -- funding the braintrust behind the Big Lie, and the plan to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
@AndrewYang
What you seem to be saying is that because Trump has a lot of followers, who think he’s great, Trump is practically above the law because we don’t want to alienate his supporters??
@WalshFreedom
Hollow tweet …. Rs scream CRIME or BORDER or GAS PRICES every election cycle. There’s nothing the Ds can do to stop people from believing what they want to believe. This just reinforces the lies the Rs have been telling for decades and their low info voters lap up.
One Canadian killed by gun violence is one too many. That’s why we’ve banned 1,500 types of military-style assault firearms. And that’s why, today, we’ve introduced legislation to further strengthen gun control in Canada. Thread ⤵️
@KeneAkers
I read the article … he basically says that DEI is bad, but offers no support for why it’s bad, other than the blanket statement that’s it’s oppressive. This is the “company line” from the right wing when they attack anything they don’t like.
This is the goodest boy who woke me in the middle of the night Sunday to let me know my mom was having a stroke. Because of him there was no significant brain damage and I'll probably bring her home tomorrow.
If you're gonna listen to any speech about
#Ukraine
🇺🇦, let it be this one.
The Kenya ambassador to the UNSC perfectly explains how people across Africa understand Ukraine, and what the Kremlin's acts of aggression mean in our post-colonial world.
On January 6, armed Trumpist militias will be rallying in DC, at Trump's orders. It's highly likely that they'll try to storm the Capitol after it certifies Joe Biden's win. I don't think this has sunk in yet.
My name is Charles Booker. I am a Black Kentuckian, a proud American, and I am running for United States Senate.
I have support from every county in Kentucky - from the Hood to the Holler. Thousands of volunteers are organizing with me.
We will beat Rand Paul.
We will win.
So, my oldest son told me & my wife, with tears in his eyes, that he's trans. I kissed him on his forehead & told her "You're still taking out the trash, muthafucka." That way she knows I still love her & nothing will ever change between us.
I think the BIG question for Democrats is…Who will be the NEXT Barack Obama???
A young, brilliant, inspiring candidate that will lead the Democratic Party into the mid 21st century. It’s what this party and this country desperately needs.
@Victorshi2020
I was about to write a tweet about Zelensky’s speech … but you sum it up perfectly. What a leader. What perspective he brings to us here in the US. What sacrifice is being made in Ukraine. 💙💛
Amazing performance of a classic Gen X song, by Bonnie Raitt. So cool that she’s still got these tools at 73 … Michael Hutchence would approve for sure
This is HUGE! 🔥
This union worker for Trump was just shown that Trump is for right to work, in his own words, and admitted he would vote for Biden after learning that!
Make sure everyone sees this!
@adgirlMM
Same … Bernie was my guy in 16 and 20. But in both elections I did what I had to do to protect our government, even though Clinton and Biden were not my top choices. I’ll do the same again … happily, as Biden has done a great job these past 3.5 years.
Our 6 yo told his friend that he will be running for President in 2052 (he worked out the math). His platform is everyone gets all the food they need and ending racism.
He was thrilled to find this letter waiting for him at home in response to a letter he sent
@POTUS
in June.
On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter recon for an attack on an alleged Viet Cong-controlled village in Vietnam.
As the attack developed, Thompson realised he was witnessing something something else:
A massacre.
He decided to act. /1 🧵

There’s a reason we have a constitution that guarantees that each American is treated “equally” …. State laws that are in opposition can’t stand.
