More of this!!

[Rep. Bennie G. Thompson @BennieGThompson]

I asked FBI Operations Director Michael Glasheen a simple question: “Where in the United States does Antifa exist?”

His reply: “We are building out the infrastructure right now.”

It is clear that Antifa is not a formal, organized group with a defined structure or leadership.

How can it be called a “top threat”?

[Damonta Morgan @DamontaMorgan]

Imagine being so far right you think someone saying that America doesn’t have kings is “far left.” Is that where Republicans are these days?!

[Magnolia Tribune @magnoliatribune]

Scott Colom has tried to distance himself from the far left, but was recently in attendance for a “No Kings” protest.

Trump instigated this shut down and made clear that he intended to use it to go after his “enemies” and “Democratic priorities”—now food stamps are being cut! That’s some concession about what he thinks about food stamps recipients! https://t.co/DvXAtKjVCn

If you say these exact words about Charlie Kirk a right winger will get you fired

[Damonta Morgan @DamontaMorgan]

and when we speak we are afraid
our words will not be heard
nor welcomed
but when we are silent
we are still afraid

So it is better to speak
remembering
we were never meant to survive.

@tatereeves This is dishonest, irresponsible, and will only incite more violence. You should delete this.

[Damonta Morgan @DamontaMorgan]

It is this precise kind of language that is responsible for the rise in political violence in this country. It is irresponsible and will only serve to incite more violence. Republicans need to turn down the temperature on violent and divisive language!

[The Recount @therecount]

Fox News’ Jesse Watters says “we’re gonna avenge Charlie [Kirk’s] death.”

“Everybody’s accountable. And we’re watching … the politicians, the media, and all these rats out there. This can never happen again. It ends now.”

[Damonta Morgan @DamontaMorgan]

I’m thrilled that Scott is throwing his hat in the ring to represent the state we both love in the U.S. Senate! I’ve known Scott for nearly 15 years, first as my Mock Trial coach and now as a friend and mentor. Scott is ready to deliver for ALL Mississippians!

[Scott Colom @scott_colom]

My name is Scott Colom, and I’m running for U.S. Senate for the state of Mississippi.

[Damonta Morgan @DamontaMorgan]

It’s only socialism when it’s designed to help the poor. Duh 🙄

[Mike Madrid @madrid_mike]

What’s it called when the government owns the means of production?

[Damonta Morgan @DamontaMorgan]

@thebougieauntie Or at all! Why are we taxing people for wanting to get an education??

[Damonta Morgan @DamontaMorgan]

This one’s easy, @realHunterEstes: it’s because we don’t apportion congressional seats on the basis of elections results. I’m sure you can see how that might be a problem.

[Hunter Estes @realHunterEstes]

If Massachusetts doesn’t need a single Republican seat, why does Mississippi need a single Democrat seat?

2024 Election Results

Massachusetts:
Donald Trump - 36.5%
Kamala Harris - 61.3%

Mississippi:
Donald Trump - 61.6%
Kamala Harris - 37.3%

[Damonta Morgan @DamontaMorgan]

Republicans expect Democrats to sit down and shut up as they fundamentally alter the structure of democracy and silence millions of voters in the process. That is absurd. And this threat of politically motivated arrests justified with an obviously political AG opinion is too!

[Jasper Scherer @jaspscherer]

.@GregAbbott_TX says that for any #txlege Dems who fail to return by tomorrow afternoon, he will invoke an attorney general opinion "to remove the missing Democrats from membership in the Texas House." BUT he says the removal decision is ultimately up to the courts. #txlege

[Damonta Morgan @DamontaMorgan]

@Brad_Larson14 They didn’t say *when* so it technically still qualifies as “unscheduled” lol

[Damonta Morgan @DamontaMorgan]

For most of us, being an American citizen was an accident of birth. It is a privilege we did nothing to earn. We should not be so quick, then, to criminalize and condemn those whose fortunes were otherwise because that could just as easily have been any of us.

[Damonta Morgan @DamontaMorgan]

@TorenBallard Thank you for your service to Mississippi, Toren! You will be missed!

[Damonta Morgan @DamontaMorgan]

When @MichelleObama shoots, she doesn’t miss!

@beyoncegarden @arbetter we should get compensated for this!

[Damonta Morgan @DamontaMorgan]

Professor @kellenfunk is a brilliant academician and is endlessly deserving of this honor. His Federal Courts course made nearly every other major course I took in law school make sense. Kudos to you, sir!

[Columbia Law School @ColumbiaLaw]

Congratulations to #CLSProf @KellenFunk, who was chosen by the Class of 2023 to receive the Willis L.M. Reese Prize for Excellence in Teaching. Students praised Funk as “supportive,” “accessible,” and “one of the gems of Columbia Law School.” https://t.co/PqWZhS9Fso
