Despite her false claims, no one has attacked Amy Coney Barrett’s family. However, she has spent her entire career attacking mine and those in the LGBT community.
When you read all of these tweets about how upset Mitch McConnell is tonight, remember this picture. McConnell closed the Senate last weekend to go to a reception back home for a right-wing judge instead of working on a bill to help American families.
This is why Mitch McConnell sent the Senate home for the weekend. To join Brett Kavanaugh at an oath ceremony for one of his judicial nominees.
Unbelievable.
This is my semi-regular reminder that long lines at the polls are not reasons to celebrate. They are created by voter suppression, mismanagement & a chronic underinvestment in American elections.
This is not complicated. Conyers should resign. Franken should resign. Moore should drop out or be defeated. Hypocrisy on the other side doesn’t justify hypocrisy on our side. Period.

@jomalleydillon
just led the record-breaking campaign that defeated Trump & set our country on a new course — while raising 3 kids and supporting her father while he battles cancer so no, I don’t care what some anonymous donor has to say about her or anything else.
Trump’s rallies are actually making voters in battleground states LESS favorable towards him. The numbers are even worse for Trump among persuadable voters. Here are the numbers from the latest polling from
@prioritiesUSA
.
The math is now clear. Joe Biden is going to be the Democratic nominee for President and
@prioritiesUSA
is going to do everything we can to help him defeat Donald Trump in November. I hope others will join us in the fight.
I rarely engage in polling twitter, but will chime in here to simply say we are not up 11 in Florida and 13 in Pennsylvania.
Now let’s all just get back to work.
We won’t let the Trump campaign intimidate us from telling the truth. Beginning Saturday we will be running this ad in Arizona, our first television buy there this cycle.
What a coincidence! Susan Collins announces her support of witnesses within minutes of Lamar Alexander publicly saying he opposes them. Collins is always “bravest” when her vote doesn’t matter.
Breaking: Trump has issued ANOTHER cease & desist order to stop our ad that only uses Trump’s own words to tell the truth about his lies & incompetence. RT the ad and help us keep it on the air so even more people see it.
He ignored intelligence.
He ignored experts.
He ignored science.
As the number of sick skyrockets, Trump thinks he's done "one hell of a job."
Watch the updated ad Trump doesn't want Americans to see and help us continue to hold him accountable.
Donald Trump & Mitch McConnell trying to force the confirmation of a right-wing, anti-choice extremist will only increase the odds that
@JoeBiden
is our next President & Democrats will take the Senate Majority. We are not afraid to take this fight to the voters and we will win.
Just a reminder. While it’s encouraging to see so many people in line, it’s also a symbol of intentional voter suppression. Because of Ohio Republicans, there is only 1 early voting location and 1 drop-off location per county.
This is DAY 2 of Early Voting in Columbus.... and this is only half the line.
@FrankLaRose
why is there only one early vote location and one drop box per county?
After cutting taxes for the rich & big corporations, Orrin Hatch says the trouble in providing health care to America’s kids is that “we don't have money anymore”. Disgusting.
I’m praying for the millions of Americans who will wake up tomorrow to face their first Thanksgiving without someone they love and for those who are struggling to feed their families. May the day greet you gently & may you find moments of peace.
Lord, receive my prayer...
Big voting rights news!
@prioritiesUSA
&
@votolatino
reached a major settlement in Arizona that expands access to the ballot. We’ve secured mobile voting sites & expanded voter outreach in Hispanic, Latino, Native American & rural communities.
Donald Trump issued a cease and desist letter to try to stop this ad from airing because he doesn’t want Americans to know the truth. You can make sure everyone sees it! RT the ad and make a contribution at to keep it on the air.
Trump refused to take the threat of the coronavirus seriously, now he won’t take responsibility as his administration has been totally unprepared for this crisis.
I seem to be in the minority, but I welcome a big, raucous, gregarious, even unruly Democratic Primary. It will breed excitement & energy; produce new ideas; & a strong candidate will emerge.
This is a lie.
People were walking throughout my neighborhood, eating outside at restaurants & enjoying the beautiful weather in neighborhood parks. We joined friends for dinner outside nearby.
I wish George Floyd was able to do the same.
DC is completely dead tonight. People stayed in and were scared to go out because of fear of riots.
Police are everywhere and have riot gear.
#BLM
is the strongest terrorist threat in our county.

@JoeBiden
with some truth-telling on Trump: To fix the economy we have to get control over the virus. He's like a child who can't believe this has happened to him. All his whining & self-pity. This pandemic didn't happen to him. It happened to all of us
This is what it would have been like to have a Trump 2nd term. It’s going to get worse over the next 4 weeks.
Thank you to every voter, volunteer, activist, and donor who made sure it won’t be another 4 years.
Romney went up to Schumer after his speech to express his displeasure. Schumer hammered Republicans during his speech
Romney explained it this way: “there’s a time to be graceful and there’s a time to be combative. That was a time for grace and common ground”
One thing is clear from the Facebook hearing. Many Senators on this committee have no idea how any of this works, are reading staff-written questions & have very little ability to ask meaningful follow up questions.
Trump: When you do testing to that extent, you’re going to find more people. You’re going to find more cases. So I said to my people slow the testing down please.
Tonight I’m praying for the campaign staff all across America who are managing the stress, expectations & anxiety that come with the closing days of a campaign — and this year, in the middle of a pandemic.
There are so many of us who are thankful for you & cheering you on.

Republicans have spent weeks attacking the faith of
@ReverendWarnock
& the church he leads. For those of us who believe the Bible calls us "to do good, seek justice & correct oppression," this race is also about not allowing white evangelical conservatives to hijack our faith.
Love this passage from
@BarackObama
’s eulogy for John Lewis.
2 Corinthians 4:8-9: “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.”
There will be plenty of time for investigations, but let’s make one thing clear. If Black Americans stormed the Capitol, we would be talking about how many of them were arrested, shot, or killed in response.

@MeghanMcCain
for some reason brings our org into her conversation about guns with future Georgia Governor Stacey Abrams. Gets drown out by audience applause for Abrams’ position. 👏👏👏
Reid: Many people argue that prayers aren't cutting it.
Self: Well, those are people that don't believe in an almighty god who has, who is absolutely in control of our lives.
Blessed are the nurses & the caregivers.
Blessed are the waiters & waitresses who rely on a tipped wage.
Blessed are the children relying on school lunches.
Blessed are the seniors in nursing homes.
Blessed are the undocumented scared to seek medical care.
SCOOP: Democrats’ plans for virtual caucusing are in limbo after experts convened by the DNC hacked into a system similar to the one state parties planned to use in February.
Democrats have spent hours doing the hard work of drafting & passing the most comprehensive, bold covid relief package possible.
Republicans have spent hours forcing the senate clerk to read the bill, filming videos about Dr. Seuss, and trying to torpedo the entire process.

Tonight I’m praying for those who are sheltered-in-place with their abuser, those who have no shelter at all, and those who’ve lost their job this week. Lord in your mercy...
Dear Democrats,
This election is going to be incredibly close regardless of who we nominate. Donald Trump could win re-election. Please behave accordingly.
Sincerely,

@BillClinton
doesn’t give speeches. He gives talks. He believes you can influence people with clear ideas well communicated. We’ve missed that for the past 3.5 years.
Saying that you have never discriminated against someone because of their “sexual preference” is a sure fire way for others to know you discriminate against people because of their sexual orientation.
Listen to
@jomalleydillon
. Ignore the public polls. This race is closer than the coverage suggests and we need to run this race as hard as we can for the next 3 weeks.
Now: Early voting is already underway in many states. Millions of voters have already cast their ballots. But there is still a long way to go in this campaign, and we think this race is far closer than folks on this website think. Like a lot closer. (4/?)
From the river to the sea is an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, or hate. My work and advocacy is always centered in justice and dignity for all people no matter faith or ethnicity.
I believe in personal forgiveness & public repentance. That is not the same as deserving the confidence bestowed in our elected officials. The picture was horrifying and deserves a clear response. Ralph Northam should resign.
BREAKING:
@RalphNortham
confirms the photo from his yearbook is of him and he apologies.
“I recognize that it will take time and serious effort to heal the damage this conduct has caused."
FULL STATEMENT:
It’s been a long day, our President is a buffoon, and my flight is delayed but I just bought tickets to see

In 1998 I left my job as a Southern Baptist minister to be the person God always intended me to be — an openly gay man. 21 years later, I returned to a pulpit to share what I know about the God of justice, mercy, grace & love — and our responsibility to put our faith into action.

One of the last texts I got from Harry Reid simply said “u r my forever friend.” I feel exactly the same and am going to miss him terribly. He was indefatigable, unfailingly loyal, and an American original.
I am praying for Landra, his family, and everyone who loved him
I didn’t take out a PPP loan & don’t begrudge those that did.
I don’t have kids but gladly pay taxes to support public schools.
I paid off my student loans & rejoice with those who’ve had loans forgiven.
These are the right things to do & they make our country stronger.
