Even though it’s not terribly surprising, it is still terribly disappointing. https://t.co/xSbMPPHBI4

@mattgaetz That’s not fair. We can’t all be teenagers on your and Greenberg’s tuition payroll forever. We have to grow up and put that tuition money to use.

@SteveHofstetter Tweet of the day. Possibly the month, but it’s only the first. Thank you for this.

OMG—the Trinidad & Tobago Health Minister formally investigated the “swollen testicle” claim made by Trinidad-born singer @NICKIMINAJ—the 🇹🇹 MOH says no such reported case in Trinidad & Tobago. Holy crap that escalated fast. Please #vaccinate #COVID19

Almost 500,000: That's the number of children diagnosed with COVID from Sept. 2 to Sept. 9, a number the American Academy of Pediatrics said has "increased exponentially." @NBCNews

@StopThisMadniss The original shirt, from when Rs wanted to “repeal and replace” the ACA, had the GOP quote as “Repeal and go f🇺🇸ck yourself” implying that the GOP doesn’t care about people, or healthcare, or anything other than power. Still true, so I tweaked it for the recall yesterday.

Made some minor modifications to my shirt to fit the day. @crookedmedia @jonfavs @jonlovett @danpfeiffer @TVietor08

When you win with nearly 2/3 of the vote, you did not “survive” anything; you annihilated the weak, unnecessary, & expensive attempt to draw attention away from the things that matter. #CARecall

I love the sound of dark techno in the morning.

@CamelPhat Is it outside or inside?

[Amy @AmyLeighJD]

Thread. I am 42 and my daughter is 8, so I feel and agree with this on a visceral level.

@bethanyshondark @OddHistorian @libbyemmons Did you pee in it?

@Simone_Biles You are so very loved and respected for all that you are, which includes being a strong, self-motivated, extremely talented, smart and beautiful Black woman, among many other wonderful things. Take time for you, take care of yourself, and know you’re loved.

PSA: Mental health is health. Take care of yourself and the people you love.

The idea that a committee is “partisan” if it DOESNT have Jim Jordan on it is one of the dumbest and most disingenuous things any human could argue.

[Sam Rosenfeld @sam_rosenfeld]

2020 debate: "Sacrifice for the common good so we can mitigate the spread of this deadly virus" vs "We can't let the cure of devastating lockdowns be worse than the disease."

2021 debate: "There's a free miracle cure for this deadly disease. Take it and go party" vs "...No."

When it comes to keeping my young kids safe w/ the #DeltaVariant circulating my wife and I live by three rules:
1) As soon as they're eligible, they're getting vaxed
2) If an adult will be in close contact w/ them, they need to be vaxed
3) If they are indoors, they will be masked

The thing about the US health care system is that even when you have health insurance, it still sucks.

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

There were 54 votes in favor of enacting the January 6 Commission, and 35 opposed, but because our rules are completely bananas that means that the 35 WON THE VOTE. The filibuster must go.
