also the Electoral College actually works to diminish the relative power of the large states in favor of the little states, so trump doesn't understand how it works - not surprising considering his totally addled state

RIDICULOUS for

@jeffzeleny
to criticize Biden for breaking this norm: (1) he's NOT breaking a norm, as you establish, (2) he's talking about existential threat to democracy, (3) + calling out trump, who broke ALL our key norms, like honoring the will of the people.
@sandy_kaw
Exactly ! Real Melania doesn't wear flat boots, for starters - plus the happy hand holding and the HUGE glasses and the face and mouth shape are different. Can we please be done with the fake everything trumps FOREVER?

The US is not afraid of Putin. The US is trying to save huge numbers of lives by averting nuclear war. European lives. This is not selfish or cowardly. It is strategic.

I'm a Christian minister; in the Bible life begins AT BREATH. The supposed pro life movement is based on conservative church fictions about the unborn, and is in reality an assault on living women's personhood, a slightly veiled attempt to return women to the property of men.

and put an end to the "good guys with guns" will solve school massacres, since the police were too afraid of the assault weapon to go in the classroom

Both sides as in Charlottesville, equating nazis with non-violent ministers, and murderers with their victims -- Chris Licht has bet on fascism.

@GWtweets
Not really plain and simple, because it’s been so overused that legitimate criticisms of the State of Israel and non violent protest have been mischaracterized as antisemitism.
@Hobie_SHRED
moving deliberately with the largest case in the history of the Justice Department: 1/6, fake electors, stolen documents, may be another shoe or two to drop on whether they are also sold docs, PAC fraud
@smc429
No, they’re calling his bluff. He and GOP have attacked the 1/6 committee for not offering another side, so bluff called, come and testify under oath, Donald! He’ll either no show, come and plead the fifth, or come and incriminate himself so this looks like checkmate ☺️
@vv1lder
thank you so much for your courage and integrity - to report on this conflict without reference to the illegal occupation, as necessary context, reflects pro-Israel, pro- state sponsored terror, bias
@Amy_Siskind
this is so irresponsible - all these armchair twitter non lawyers, not in the chamber, unaware of all the factors in play, castigating a brilliant team who have given their all
President Carter is goodness embodied, a person of character and strong morals. He lives the Christian message of Jesus. The morally corrupt SBC and of course the corrupted electeds and corporate press rejected him. Sounds familiar.
@SecBlinken
Palestinians in the oPt need freedom from illegal occupation, homes that won't be demolished, water that won't be annexed, access to their workplaces, and to keep their children free from arrest and imprisonment.
@donwinslow
Thank you very much for your work, and your work to come. This looter couple has benefitted greatly from under exposure in the media, and I hope you are indeed going to change that.
@imillhiser
that's like saying don't lock up criminals because they'll come get you when they get out of prison- which does happen sometimes, but is not a reason to abandon justice
@DoctorHenryCT
one thing we can say is that Mexican women have managed to break out of the oppression of the conservative church and assert their humanity and agency, and US women have not
@cmclymer
It may be that it had to come to this - a tragic second wave of preventable death - to ultimately save America and the world from Trumpism. Trump's cult has challenged reality to a duel, and reality will win.

Elaine Chao and Steve Mnuchin came to mind as people who might have some 'splainin to do. Mitch looked unusually grim at that point in the speech.

Ryan is calling boomers selfish because they won't vote for the candidate who energizes him. Maybe they are voting for the candidate who they truly believe can beat Trump and give humanity and democracy a chance. NOT selfish.

and also, this is possibly the best argument for an assault weapon ban: the police are too afraid of assault weapons to do their jobs - we have to make that point over and over again -> ban the weapons so the police can do their jobs
@MuellerSheWrote
Rosenstein was not a “cowardly wisp”! He was a conniving deceitful enemy of justice and should be disbarred and shunned. He set up Mueller and team to fail.
@mehdirhasan
Thank you, Mehdi, for posting this and making sure Naftali Bennett is exposed as a Bible-exploiting settler. Sacred text is not a real estate deed, and the occupation is illegal under the Geneva Convention.
@davidmweissman
The US conservative/evangelical movement is ALL about maintaining white male power: small government, so there's no hand up for the disempowered; free markets, so the rich get richer; and the bogus pro life slogan to seize moral ground while subjugating women.

Great job — I applaud your courage and moral fiber!
This professor has lost their moral comp. Truth is not the enemy of a just institution!
This pisses me off. I sobbed too on Jan 6th. But that’s not all I did. I publicly condemned Trump every day of that 2020 campaign, & I’ve done the same every day since the 2020 election. Paul Ryan? He’s been silent. And he still sits on the Fox News Board.
@Yamiche
thank you for the fact check -- this was not a COVID briefing, this was an update on trump's declining capacities and unfitness to serve - please treat it as such
I am so sick of
@nytimes
gratuitous smears of President Biden. Today's story about his COVID rebound was followed by a "report card" that could've been written by the RNC. Cherrypicking and slanting. NOT news. Their bias is obvious and disgusting.
This guy drove 600 miles to the State Capitol from El Paso to testify against the voter suppression bill.
He spent the whole day supporting grassroots organizers, strategizing with elected officials, and defending our right to vote.

Taylor Swift has 89M+ followers and is a HUGE success, so I don't think she needs advice from you. Nobody needs to wait to be "perfect" to use good critical thinking; maybe you should turn off Fox and give yours a chance.
@RepRaskin
With respect, Israel has flaunted the international law and human rights conventions against indefinite occupation of territory, collateral damage, annexation, detaining children, so when are you going to hold them accountable?
19 officers. 78 minutes. Not one - NOT ONE - cop had the moral center to say, “this is wrong, I’m going in!” Their own training literally said that potentially losing your life to save a kid’s is what you must do. Don’t agree? Stay the fuck out of law enforcement !
@mhdksafa
most people in the US now agree with that! but evildoers like trump and barr are still fighting to sell their warped view to the brainwashed and gullible- they must be removed

The good people of the nation are with you in your sorrow, and pray for you to be comforted in this time of bereavement. We will work for an assault weapons ban, in your daughter's memory.

Kevin never mentions COVID, and like trump, shows no empathy for the Americans who have died & lost loved ones, their health, and their livelihoods. He says trump's base love America. They don't love Americans. A blind eye for lies, crimes, & treason, all for white privilege.
@JakeLobin
flashed back to the innumerable times the former guy's weird little mouth pursed to say "NO COLLUSION" -- always a whopper lie, but Mueller's team failed, corrupt DOJ failed, the press failed, our electeds failed; we the people had to work like hell to evict him

not sure who you mean by those standing on the sidelines, but you should know that the USA is working behind the scenes all over the world, which is not fairly described as a spectator sport
