Hey everybody. The last 48 hours have been really hard. I've faced relentless harassment from folks who seem to have forgotten that before we're Democrats or Republicans, we're all just humans. Hi! Human being over here! lol But do you what's even tougher than facing these
Should members of congress play games with their retirement announcements in order to hand pick their successors instead of letting voters choose? No. But with democracy under threat, it is not the time to point this out.

Utterly disgraceful. Once again, for the friends of Trump there is no law. For the enemies of Trump, there is no safety.

Exclusive: Jamal Khashoggi’s widow, Hanan, sends me her response to Trump: “This is not justification to murder him. While Jamal was a good, transparent and brave man, many may not have agreed with his opinions and desire for freedom of the press.”
Imagine your friend or family was brutally murdered by a foreign government and you hear the President of the United States say shit like this as he sits next to the perpetrator and praises him.

a remarkable scene on the House floor. After the House rejects a Democratic motion to table the resolution condemning @RepChuyGarcia, Republicans have largely left the floor. Democrats are left by themselves debating and squabbling over the motion

pretty defensive for a prosecutor
George, you’ve never been confused for a trial lawyer, and these kinds of posts explain why. When I interviewed Maxwell, law enforcement didn’t have the materials Epstein’s estate hid for years and only just provided to Congress. Stop talking. It’s unbecoming.

They were also sick of Italian pasta imports
Trump voters wanted two things: endless foreign entanglements in countries like Venezuela, Syria, and Nigeria, and cheaper labor imported into this country because Americans aren't good enough to get the work done. And they're getting both good and hard!

Getting rid of the penny is a good start. But when we got rid of the half penny, a penny was worth way more than what a quarter is today. Coins should be: - dime - 20 cent piece - half dollar And that's it. Then prices go to one decimal point, not two. A better world is

What possible interest would the US government have in keeping Epstein’s clients secret? Oh…
Are you paying attention yet? The DOJ and Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers have made a deal that her “little black book” of contacts will never be made public https://t.co/ydzLFkrtlm

Not the only one being convinced!
My understanding is that the relentless pressure campaign that has included carrot, stick, good cop, bad cop, has made her even more dug in, suspicious and convinced there's a conspiracy at play.
