āIāll be blunt: The actions of the senator from Alabama have become a national security nightmare.ā
ā Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) says NATO leaders have expressed concerns about Sen. Tommy Tubervilleās (R-AL) blockade on military promotions.
I donāt take a dime of corporate PAC money so I donāt have to worry about forgetting trips on a billionaireās private jet. For the integrity of the Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas must resign. https://t.co/a5U4QNJtUj
The Pentagon estimates that about three-quarters of the generals & admirals in the Defense Department ā 650 of 852 ā will be affected by @TTuberville@SenTuberville 's hold. This is having a massive affect on military readiness and U.S. national security. https://t.co/yDdJfXm2uX

Teachers and librarians are on the frontlines of twisted GOP culture wars they never asked to be a part of. Massachusetts will remain a beacon for academic freedom. https://t.co/k0zyG1Xs6p
The GOP is pushing to ban abortion nationwideā¦
ā¦while simultaneously proposing drastic cuts to food programs like WIC that help pregnant women, infants & children.
As my friend Barney Frank likes to say: clearly Republicans believe life begins at conceptionāand ends at birth.
Holy shit, he really is trying to build his own army. ā

Thereās no need for Florida to have its own military with police power. And if you donāt recognize thereās a *slight* chance it will be used like the Gestapo to police political enemies, youāve been living under a rock.
So disturbing & unAmerican.

A poorly written law designed to keep children from getting porn via schools and libraries (??) just led to Mississippi children losing access to e-books.
SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act a decade ago with its ruling in Shelby v. Holder.
Since then, GOP lawmakers have passed numerous voter suppression laws.
A political party that wants to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.
Now that weāre all aware of the severity of the Courtās self-imposed ethics crisis, letās solve the problem. My Supreme Court Ethics Recusal and Transparency (SCERT) Act would create real ethical guardrails at the Supreme Court. https://t.co/bEIf4EuGnZ
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito took a luxury fishing trip to Alaska with billionaire Paul Singer, whose hedge fund then had repeated business before SCOTUS over the years that followed.
Alito never disclosed the trip or recused himself from Singer's cases. (THREAD)
