@Ticketmaster why won’t you let me buy the tickets?!??

@EmilyGRobinson Wow! 🤦🏼‍♀️

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Republican Senators on Twitter today admitting that their strategy was to pack the courts with political conservatives in order to enact an agenda that was too unpopular to pass through an elected, popularly accountable Congress.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

The biggest scandal in American political history. And that’s saying a lot. Jaw dropping. Sickening. Infuriating.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Your morning reminder that in the 10 days since Uvalde, there have been 20 more mass shootings in the United States. In those 20 massacres, 91 were shot and injured and so far, 19 died.

The Tulsa killer bought his AR-15 at 2:00, no background check, disgruntled patient went to his doctor to kill him, went to the wrong pod, killed a different doctor, assistant, found his doctor, killed him. He went hunting. Doctors were the prey. Our elected leaders allowed this.

What might we be if only we tried.
What might we become if only we’d listen.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Perfection isn’t just impossible. It’s a counterproductive goal.

Perfectionists are more likely to burn out and less likely to embrace new challenges.

Success depends on high standards, not being flawless. The target is not perfection—it's excellence.

Imagine if Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s husband had tried to undermine a certified election. Then tell me about liberal bias.

Ukrainian footballer Roman Yaremchuk comes on as a substitute for Benfica in Lisbon. Watch what happens.

[Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke]

So get this:

The same guy who gave the order to hike energy prices as Texans froze to death in their homes received $4.6 million in campaign checks from the executives of some of the gas corporations who made $11 billion in profit thanks to his order.

[Rufus Gifford @rufusgifford]

Democracy is fragile. So many of us take it for granted.

And lovers of democracy only feel one way tonight:

Stand unequivocally with Ukraine. 🇺🇦

[Alex Vindman 🇺🇸 @AVindman]

Putin has declared war on Ukraine. The objective is to demilitarize and pacify Ukraine. This is basically the worst case scenario… Putin wants to destroy Ukraine’s armed forces and install a puppet regime.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

The prayers of the world are with the people of Ukraine tonight as they suffer an unprovoked and unjustified attack by Russian military forces. President Putin has chosen a premeditated war that will bring a catastrophic loss of life and human suffering. https://t.co/Q7eUJ0CG3k

This is an absolute JOKE, not a solution! How about try paying teachers a living wage so that they’re not fleeing the state in the first place!

[Kassie McClung @KassieMcClung]

Just in: Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt will issue an executive order authorizing state agencies to allow their employees to substitute teach, as some schools close because of staffing shortages brought by the pandemic.

Senators and congresspeople shouldn’t be allowed to own and trade stocks. https://t.co/BtAyHadbac

Joe Manchin represents .5% of US population but is killing Build Back Better supported by 70% of Americans

[Hales Lewis @HalesLewis]

@DannyPellegrino The #emoryuniversity shade 😂 … also release the footage!

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

Blaming Biden for Afghanistan is like blaming him for Covid-19. It’s a disaster he inherited, and to get us out of it was always going to be difficult and heartbreaking. Critics will point fingers over mistakes made in that process, but we should remember how it all started.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

The richest people in America pay no income taxes.

Warren Buffett 0.10%
Jeff Bezos: 0.98%
Elon Musk: 3.27%

Regular Americans are paying 20%+. It's just extraordinary how rigged the system is. Let's fix it.
