Ten years ago, the Supreme Court made same-sex marriage the law of the land — something even more stunning in retrospect than it did in the moment.
If Obergefell had arrived at the court two years earlier or two years later it likely would have turned out very differently. ->
I’ve got a story to tell you.
It’s about the largest election-fraud conspiracy in American history (until now) and the churchgoing suffragist who partnered with a reformed-murderer-turned-crusading-prosecutor to expose it and send 116 men to prison. —> https://t.co/TKkZK27joC
Marriage equality is popping up again on ballots nationwide—this time as LGBT activists seek to remove language banning same-sex unions.
Only one thing is missing from the desired rematch over Prop 8: the people who passed it in the first place. —>

This @nytimesbooks display of the "Best Books Since 2000" is great scrolling fun, and nice to see my @Engagement_Book made the cut. https://t.co/vYClkMBLBN
"Is it destabilizing or demobilizing our base? Is it persuading voters? If not, it is a problem for society. But it’s not a 50-plus-one problem.”

For over a decade, people have asked when I would write a sequel to @victorylab. I had no good answer until now:
"THE LIE DETECTIVES: In Search of a Playbook for Winning Elections in the Disinformation Age" will be out next week.

Disinformation is destroying democracy. Can it make our political campaigns better?
I make the case in this Saturday's @wsj, inspired by my new book THE LIE DETECTIVES, out next week: https://t.co/tPNuu3lRE6
This week @JoeBiden will host a South Lawn ceremony to enact the Respect for Marriage Act. It undoes the Defense of Marriage Act, which @BillClinton signed at midnight out of public view.
From @Engagement_Book, here is the full story of how that happened: https://t.co/Jrj7wQKAIC
"When Baehr v. Lewin was filed in 1991, same-sex marriage was considered an oxymoron. Few, other than the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, believed it was possible."

The surprise shouldn't be in @TulsiGabbard leaving the Democratic party but in having ended up there in the first place. She is scion of a political dynasty responsible for mobilizing the world's first organized opposition to same-sex marriage rights.
From my @Engagement_Book:
#OnThisDay in 1996... Judge Kevin Chang gaveled Baehr v. Miike to order at 8:33 a.m., marking the first time that the question of same-sex marriage rights had ever come to trial in an American courtroom. #Hawaii#history#politcs#lgbthistory#lgbt https://t.co/l1B7KaWfXh
Schumer says he wants to see how much GOP support there is for gay marriage protections before bringing it to the floor, but lots of Rs won’t say how they’ll vote until he does. Some Dems want to delay recess to get it done https://t.co/Go4EPtEMcP
#OnThisDay in 2005: #Canada became the world's fourth country to legalize same-sex marriage throughout its borders with the enactment of the #CivilMarriageAct. Here's what happened: https://t.co/m2gGhS1ff8 #history#politics#lgbt
