Confirming what we always knew — ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ is the biggest loser!

[Eric Holder @EricHolder]

ANY competent public corruption prosecutor would bring obstruction charges against Trump/and win. Only reason Mueller did not was because of the flawed DOJ restriction against indicting a sitting President. He said so (below). Congress now has a constitutional responsibility.

[Take Back the Court @TakeBacktheCt]

“...a moment’s reflection on the history of the Court shows that it remained fiercely independent after each of the SEVEN instances in which Congress changed its size. It is difficult to believe that a future expansion of the Court would break this mold.”https://t.co/O86Dlm6nql

Putin wants our democracy to fail. We’re the biggest check on Russia’s power. By getting Trump elected, Putin has reshaped our courts for the next generation with judges who limit our ability to fix our problems and continue to thrive as a nation. https://t.co/Q403lQyKQp

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

William Barr, @realDonaldTrump’s pick for Attorney General:

-Expressed bias against the Mueller investigation
-Said Roe v Wade was wrongly decided
-Supported efforts to gut the ACA
-Has a terrible record on criminal justice

The Senate should vote NO on his confirmation.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Explaining marginal taxes to a far-right former Governor:

Imagine if you did chores for abuela & she gave you $10. When you got home, you got to keep it, because it’s only $10.

Then we taxed the billionaire in town because he’s making tons of money underpaying the townspeople.

[Tim Burns @Burns4WI]

Great thing about marginal tax rates is that the example by @ScottWalker below is only a problem for a 5th grader like @realDonaldTrump whose Daddy has already given him $1 million that year. @AOC is right!

[Scott Walker @ScottWalker]

Explaining tax rates before Reagan to 5th graders: “Imagine if you did chores for your grandma and she gave you $10. When you got home, your parents took $7 from you.” The students said: “That’s not fair!” Even 5th graders get it.

[Tim Burns @Burns4WI]

Go ⁦@AOC⁩ !!! We love you!!!! https://t.co/K9N1a8dwb8

@MittRomney — With respect, @realDonaldTrump isn’t the cause, he’s a symptom of years of one party’s willingness to kill by a 1000 cuts an expanding middle-class democracy to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of the few. Policies you list as “right” are why we are here.

[Mitt Romney @MittRomney]

Policies and appointments are only a part of a presidency. A president must also unite us, inspire us, and defend our vital institutions. https://t.co/jmIw8XbV4k

Actually, thx to you, @realDonaldTrump, @FedSoc, and your enablers, America does need a liberal law professor to reestablish the rule of law, reinstitute representative election districts, restore voting rights, and rebuild the middle class. Enjoy defeat! —more to come.

[Scott Walker @ScottWalker]

Just what America needs...an out-of-touch liberal law professor who thinks government is the answer to our problems. True freedom and prosperity don’t come from the clumsy hand of government, they come from the dignity of hard work!

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Every person in America should be able to work hard, play by the same set of rules, & take care of themselves & the people they love. That’s what I’m fighting for, & that’s why I’m launching an exploratory committee for president. I need you with me: https://t.co/BNl2I1m8OX
