@Triad_City_Beat @NickOchsnerWBTV Why were the poll workers allowing this to happen?? I’ve volunteered as a poll greeter in the past 6 elections. It’s unfortunately very common to see impassioned family members of candidates flout the rules at the polls. We rely heavily on poll judges to educate & enforce.

@ApBaucom Any updates on bus 7?

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

I say this to the President, and his defenders in Congress:

You may think it’s okay how Trump and his associates interacted with Russians during the campaign.

I don’t.

I think it’s immoral. I think it’s unethical. I think it’s unpatriotic. And yes, I think it’s corrupt.

@lizzo “Heard you say I’m not the baddest bitch, you lie” Juice is the energy I need for 2019.

@bdhumbert @yeselson @joshtpm North Carolina's stated reason for shutting down Sunday voting was that counties with heavy Sunday voting were disproportionately African-American, and that African-Americans tended to be Democrats. https://t.co/sbvHZUqWKO

So funny, to see the 2 red state women take political risk vs. the R man who is RETIRING and Dem man in red seat where he's ahead.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

I've seen the FBI "report" on Brett Kavanaugh. 4 things are clear:
❌This wasn't a full or fair investigation.
❌ It doesn't exonerate him.
❌ The available documents contradict what he said under oath.
❌ We must #CancelKavanaugh.

Until you unify immigrant children with their families #WeWillNotAnswer
Until you denounce racism and white supremacy #WeWillNotAnswer
Until you make accepting “preexisting conditions mandatory for insurance carriers #WeWillNotAnswer”

Below is an updated summary of where I stand on over 20 key issues. This is not an exhaustive list; more positions and details will follow. I am pleased to report that I still have not had to take a poll or hire a political consultant to tell me what to say or what to believe.

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

It took great courage for Dr. Christine Blasey Ford to come forward with her story. The American people are owed a thorough investigation of the grave & credible allegations against Brett Kavanaugh. RETWEET if you agree Senate Republicans must #PostponeTheVote

[Southern Poverty Law Center @splcenter]

Nearly 1,000 people incarcerated in South Carolina — and the staff who guard them — will not be evacuated for #HurricaneFlorence, despite Gov. Henry McMaster's evacuation orders. It is unacceptable for a state to gamble with the lives of those in its care. https://t.co/bdLJAM7kR6

[Collective Action for Safe Spaces @SafeSpacesDC]

170,000 prisons lie directly in the path of #HurricaneFlorence with no ability to evacuate. Call @NCPublicSafety at 704-357-6030 & @vadoc at 804-674-3000 to demand their evacuation.

Duke energy was supposed to clean up toxic coal-ash ponds in North Carolina two years ago. But, the clean up still isn't done. Now, Hurricane #Florence could overflow these ponds and unleash dangerous toxic waste into local waterways. Read more: https://t.co/1wMENZvW97

When are we going to start naming storms after senators who don’t believe in climate change? #FlorenceNC #florencehurricane

[John O. Brennan @JohnBrennan]

Donald Trump’s press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of “high crimes & misdemeanors.” It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were Trump’s comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you???

[Sanofi US @SanofiUS]

People of all races, religions and nationalities work at Sanofi every day to improve the lives of people around the world. While all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication.
