Not hard to do more than nothing but this is a solid showing by an underrated celebrity.

This Kemp call almost makes all that Quid Pro Quo Ukraine call stuff seem real, like it happened, like it should have ended his Presidency.

Dems House passed $3T Covid relief in May. GOP balked. what’s being negotiated now is $900B relief and McConnell still doesn’t have votes. mind boggling press all yr refused to run this headline: GOP Opposes Covid Relief, Insists Aid Not Needed

Donald Trump has raised more than $200 million in the 30 days *AFTER* the election. He gets to keep 75% of that. That is why he is going to Georgia. Period. Television coverage -> speech -> fraud claims -> raises $$$ By Jan 20 Trump will be close to paying off his $400m debt.

I talked to a scientist recently who spent her career working on bioterrorism and pandemic responses. “What I never imagined is that Americans would shrug their shoulders at 250,000 deaths,” she told me. “I’m just astounded.”

Replacing the words "the economy" with "rich people's yacht money" -How can we respond to COVID without sacrificing rich people's yacht money? -Saving the environment sounds nice but what about rich people's yacht money? -Medicare for all would destroy rich people's yacht money

If the Republican Party will just continue to look the other way for another month while Trump tries to overthrow a free and fair election, he'll be able to make a good dent in the $421 million of loans he guaranteed that are coming due. That is the plan right?

Don’t know about you, but the last four years have been excruciating, watching my government do heinous, illogical, immoral, stupid, indecent, racist, unconstitutional & homicidal CRAP, without any ability to stop it. They got away with SO MUCH CRIME! It’s been hell to watch.

It would be cool if even 5% of US voters understood that a) Dems are constantly trying to do things they like & would help them, and b) one almost comically malign & unpopular individual, Mitch McConnell, is single-handedly stopping them.

9 months. One $1200 stimulus check. If that doesn't convince you we need to flip the Senate, I don't know what will.

Student debt: $1.7 trillion GOP tax cut for the rich: $1.9 trillion I’d like to live in a country where we bail out students who need it instead of CEOs who don’t.

What Obama always fails to grasp is that people did it his way. they sat at his big table & listened. & then we all sat there & watched that cop snuff the life out of George Floyd. So he no longer gets to advise this movement on how to achieve its goals of ending police terror.

REPUBLICANS: Wearing masks is fascism. Health care is fascism. Sensible gun laws are fascism. "What about declaring martial law to invalidate an election which is, you know, ACTUAL fascism?" REPUBLICANS: Yeah no, that's fine.

They're still using this glib bullshit line even as they stand on a mountain of corpses, surrounded by Americans dead because of dysfunctional government. It was *never an empirical assertion*. It was never an argument. It's just reified selfishness.

I appreciate the clarity and force of this man's words so much. We have been living under a culture of threat for so long and it is rare when any public official stands strongly against it. So heart-breakingly rare.
