Who am I? Had a verified Twitter account since 2007. I had hundreds of thousands of followers. I wrote politics. Did the MSNBC/CNN thing for a bit, but I gave it all up. I wanted to be able to express my opinion without recourse. After two years, I came back as Floss.
My Story.
I literally believe Claudia Conway, a 15-year-old, to tell us the truth over this administration. She just said he's doing very badly according to her Mom and they are trying to stabilize him.
Folks, we CANNOT move forward in this country with people like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Mo Brooks, Paul Gosar, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, etc... occupying the halls of Congress.
Lauren Boebert, and Marjorie Taylor Greene: Both Q supporters, both supported the "Stop The Steal" on Jan 6th. Both are currently in the United States House of Representatives.
Not one accidental discharge of a weapon on capitol rioters who were beating police with poles, throwing fire extinguishers, and spraying them with bear spray.
Congresswoman Lauren Boebert violated section 3 of the 14th amendment. She needs to be immediately expelled from the House of Representatives. When treason is documented in real-time, the consequences need to be as swift. And, as I said... she still doing it.👇🏾
I remember Jay Z was said to miss the flight to get to this performance. So Alicia Keys intended to perform it solo with his voice in the background. She and the band's reaction when he came on stage was genuine.
This is the vibe I miss. Everyone's just happy.
I'm Black, I 100% support the BLM movement. Their goals are my goals. However, "defund the Police" is an absolutely horrible, terrible combination of words. And words matter in politics. That slogan is wholly counter-productive and ultimately self-defeating.
We can do better.
As John Kenneth Galbraith said: "The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.”
Don’t be fooled: Mitch McConnell will never vote to convict Trump
"When the vote comes, McConnell will deliver a dramatic speech finally revealing his position. He’ll reiterate his criticisms of Trump, for lying about the election and whipping up the crowd." 1/2
And I want to let all of y'all know... those of us here in GA that are working on getting
@ReverendWarnock

@ossoff
to the United States Senate are more focused than ever. No matter what the GOP is doing in DC, we remain driven to win this thing on Jan 5th.
Normally I don't get involved in the hashtags, but this is one I believe that should be done for the good and safety of this country...
#DeactivateTrump
It's time for
@jack
to say enough. Trump lost the election, and he is inciting violence. Whether directly, or indirectly.
Once again, let me convey, I am shocked & saddened by the passing of Midwin Charles. I knew Midwin she was brilliant & beautiful and a friend. My prayers are w/ her family & friends.
I wanted to find something to show the brilliance of Midwin Charles to share. Rest In Power.🙏🏾
Just wait, the 2017 tax cut for the wealthy by the completely GOP government had an Easter egg in it of a 2021 tax increase for anybody making under a $100 k. They will totally try to blame that on Biden. Make sure everybody knows where it really came from.
These are the Democrats still undecided on the filibuster.
Senator Tester (D)
Senator Coons (D)
Senator Manchin (D)
Senator Sinema (D)
Senator Feinstein (D)
Senator King (I)
If you truly want to make progress, take McConnell's power away.
"However, he’ll say, all that’s in the past now. Trump is no longer president. And Dems are just wasting time trying to score political points when they should be addressing the country’s problems. Therefore, he’ll say w/ sadness, I feel I have no choice but to vote to acquit."
Probably over half of GOP voters survive strictly on social security. I'll never understand how or why they keep electing politicians like this into office.
If we could not pass common-sense gun regulations after 20 small children were murdered in their Sandy Hook elementary school alongside their teachers, then I fear we never will.
It's extremely depressing.
The Republican attack ads here are brutal. And the best polling, along with internal polling I've seen has both races as a tossup. We need every voter here in GA that wants to see real change in America to show up and vote on Jan 5th for

‘It’s my constitutional right blah blah blah’. Enough of these mealy-mouthed bollocks.
The detectors are there because we have evidence that members of Congress have been complicit in the insurrection planning.
Sad that we have to protect congress from members of congress.
Neera Tanden is unqualified for her job because of tweets, not policy but, Ben Carson and Betsy DeVos WERE qualified because one lived near public housing once (Carson) and the other *checks notes* went to school at some point (DeVos). I just can't...
Nikki Haley did something similar to Tim Scott, claiming America wasn't racist while talking about how her family was discriminated against by Americans. There's a reason she doesn't go by her real first name.
As per usual, the Republicans voted no in total. They are doing to Biden exactly what they did to Obama. We're going to have 4 years of entrenchment. They have no interest in legislating.
JoJoFromJerz is an enormous grifter. She's been asking her followers to help buy a goddamn house—a house, for Christ's sake. Not to mention her Patreon, where she tries to scam ppl out of money for her 𝙑𝘼𝙎𝙏 𝙋𝙊𝙇𝙄𝙏𝙄𝘾𝘼𝙇 𝙆𝙉𝙊𝙒𝙇𝙀𝙂𝘿𝙀 — which comes from Twitter. 🤦🏾♂️
pretty wild when your social media manager blocks you on Twitter – after you asked her if she would support our effort to pay back her followers impacted by her security breach
It's funny how many people who say business owners should have the right to refuse service to LGBT also get mad when businesses promote that they're LGBT-friendly, 1/2
Wow,
@SashaPezenik
what fine "journalism." You put the FAKE story out there about Christine O'Donnell's niece w/o any fact-checking, let it simmer for an hour, and then delete the thread... knowing the damage has been done. I'm sorry, but
@ABC
should reconsider your employment.
It seems so obvious that the root of the problem here is that Republicans have decided that instead of tailoring their policies to align with a majority of voters, they've decided to eliminate voters until a majority aligns with their policies.
A 10-year-old child is raped. 10 YEARS OLD and RAPED. In what universe is a 10-year-old expected to suffer the consequences of rape and perhaps die in doing so? This doctor did the only morally and ethically correct thing in terminating the pregnancy.
Diamond and Silk are going to do a duet of I Will Always Love You on a karaoke machine as Trump boards the helicopter one last time.
It's going to be YUGE! 😂
You want to know why Trump is so hot on getting schools opened up?
School is the only childcare that many families can afford. He doesn't care about the kids or the schools, he wants the unemployment number to go down.
That's it. That's his whole thought process.
I've always loved Pope Francis. Most American white Catholics don't understand where he came from. Francis is love, not hate. Hence, his comments to parents of LGBT children: ‘God loves your children as they are.’
Pope Francis loved another Black guy as well.🙏🏾
Whether it's Sally Yates or, as it looks like now, Doug Jones for AG... they need to go Nuremberg on the Trump family and administration. If these people aren't made an example of, the next GOP coup will be successful.
Stacy Abrams is one of the few Democratic politicians that knows not only where the problems are but knows what to do about it, and then actually takes action to solve the problem.
I am a 55yo Black man. You have no idea what systemic racism is in this country until you have walked in my shoes. I fought my way from the projects of Baton Rouge to the halls of Columbia University. Do not conflate covid policies with rasicm — you're a white woman living in CA.
Hell, put Stacey Abrams in charge of the whole DNC. At this point, it seems she knows how to battle the beast that is modern GOP dogma. Not sure any of the other DNC chairpersons had a clue.

I'm so thankful for this tiny bit of beautiful news in the current sea of darkness.
Oh, and that smile. 🙌🏾❤️
Look, everyone is welcome to have their concerns, but the fact of the matter is that Joe Biden just laid out more policy and detail in an hour than Donald Trump has in his whole administration.

Listen, no matter what Adam Toledo's life was all about he had his hands up when the cop shot him. What he did in his past, or what his family failed to do, or what he was doing prior to being shot doesn't matter. When that bullet entered that boy's chest he had his hands up.
Pete doesn't attack conservatives or insult them for believing in Fox BS, he calmly states facts and counters their arguments while showing the values that conservatives allege to uphold are way better represented by the democratic policy positions.
Paid leave is gone. It won't be in the final bill.
Yes, the world has found a way to do this, and so much more, while American citizens choose to accept the crumbs that the corporate and political “elite” begrudgingly allow to fall from their table of obscene overabundance...
I spoke to a group of Republicans today here in Atlanta, all of whom voted for Biden simply based on DT's handling of COVID. But they wanted answers on "defunding the police" and guns. Reason? They're considering voting D for the Senate races here.
This is a 𝙈𝙊𝙉𝙀𝙔 shot. No matter how you feel about NATO—democrat or republican. Ask yourself, could you see former President Trump doing this?
I'm very proud of President Biden.
For all those that are "shocked" that
@maggieNYT
would hammer on the Biden campaign... you must not have been paying attention in 2016.
As someone who worked for the 2016 HRC campaign, I can promise you that there is no love lost between Hillary and Maggie.
Part of Georgia's new law is to allow their state legislature to overturn the election results if they don't agree with the Secretary of State.
In other words, if it had been in place in 2020, their state legislature would have voted to give their electoral votes to Trump.
This is an ultimatum to the GOP.
Trump knows he can't win as an independent, so this is a way of saying, "make me the GOP candidate, or I'll destroy your chances of winning out of revenge."
Do it, Donny! Do it! Split that ticket!
When 2022 rolls around, Senator Warnock will be up for reelection and Stacey Abrams will likely be running for Governor. With those two on the ticket, one can only imagine what Georgia voter turnout will look like.
The AP's investigative reporter James LaPorta, a former Marine, has confirmed with his military sources Jeffrey Goldberg's utterly shocking story in The Atlantic today and has posted his own piece:
It's the guns—it really is. Can we all take a step back and admit that these kids and teachers would be alive if we got rid of these military-style assulat weapons? It's not complicated. Don't let the GOP deflect and dishonor all these lost lives. If not now, when?
#Uvalde
We've finally reached a point in this country where you are 𝙉𝙊𝙏 allowed to question an issue on your side of your party (mine being democratic) without getting pounced on or demonized—no matter what it is.
That, my friends, is a sad state of affairs and sadly ignorant.
I just got off the phone with a congressional staffer (a friend of mine) and they told me that a congresswoman is drawing up the articles of impeachment now.
The vast majority of white people are terrified of the thought that they will be a minority in this country, in one more generation. This is what drives their hatred and their viciousness. They would rather destroy this country than live within it as a minority.
Unfortunately, we have lost one of the sanest, calmest, kindest voices during this pandemic due to the hive minds & tribalism on Twitter. No, Dr. Zubin Damania (

The fact that Seung Min Kim did oppo research on Neera Tanden for Murkowski, showing her a tweet so she could later write about her reaction in WaPo, IMO, reflects poor journalistic ethics.

One of the worst things Trump has done is install cronies as heads of once-trusted agencies and organizations, to wreck or weaken them for corporate and/or political exploitation.
#AmericasGreatestMistake
I think now is an apt time to remind everyone that this impeachment wouldn't be possible except for y'all turning out to vote in both 2020 and, more importantly, 2018.
Midterms are so important, and in 2022 we (Dems) are going to have a fight on our hands for the House.
"Defund the Police" is an absolutely terrible slogan. It *did* cost Democratic politicians elections. And it cost some NYC mayoral candidates the election.
We want the police around to help keep communities safe. But we don't want them senselessly and brutally killing Black ppl.
If Trump had moved with such dispatch to mitigate the pandemic as he is to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg, think of all the thousands of lives that would have been saved.
Remember when Obama came on regularly and addressed the nation articulately for eight straight years and we all relaxed and just lived our lives without constant anxiety?
They had Matt Gaetz on camera with his buddy creating fake identities for his victims. I don't know — it seems the DOJ refuses to prosecute Republicans.
Maybe he (Bernie Marcus) should start figuring out why CEO-worker pay is currently 455:1 when it used to be 30:1, and he’ll figure out why nobody wants to work for his greedy ass anymore. 2/2
I’m Black, and I’ve seen Anti-Asian racism for years. I’m sorry you aren’t being seen or heard, and I’m sorry people are making jokes about it. But you have solidarity from at least one non-Asian person who cares and is very concerned. 🙏🏾
One thing that gets missed is how much time Trump robs from us. The amount of mental energy he steals from us is not sustainable.
It was bad before, but it got exponentially worse when COVID hit. He steals far more than our tax dollars, he steals our energy and attention.
Greene is not in Congress to work on legislation to better the country or even her district. She is there to build her brand as part of the radical right outrage machine.
For all of you Democrats who couldn't find it "in your conscience" to vote for Hillary in 2016.
How about this being on your conscience? Roe v Wade's reversal next year.
All of y'all that are hammering Pelosi, and the rest of the Dems that voted for the relief bill... keep it up. If you wanna see us get crushed in 2022, keep doing what you're doing.
I'm in GA working to get control of the Senate, while some of you are busy tearing it down.
The notion that the Republicans have all lined up in support of a SCOTUS candidate who is yet to be named tells you all you need to know about the process.
Trump could nominate a French poodle or Pam Bondi, or maybe even Ivanka, and the Senate would go along with it.
Go and spend a day at the National Holocaust Museum. I can assure you the parallels between the rise of Nazi Germany and what we have seen in this republican radical right are genuinely chilling.
