@BeschlossDC @MichaelSteele @thereidout @MSNBC Was musing about how historian @BeschlossDC would judge this "Kamala debate" music video when I was making it this morning. Tuning in tonight to see him with @MichaelSteele:https://t.co/itL15XxWD5

Was so looking forward to September 10th debate between Kamala and Trump. Even though Trump bailed, still hoping to "See you in September:" https://t.co/itL15XxWD5

@KeithOlbermann Maybe this is why?

@SenatorLankford This is horrible writing. Did a U.S. Senator really write this lame tweet? Anyway, all I'd like to know is what Senator Lankford values more: kids and teachers, or guns?

@billmaher @GOP Ask any Trump supporter to describe the difference between democracy and autocracy and, on the odd chance you find one who can, ask which they prefer. Enjoy the squirm.

[Bill Maher @billmaher]

The position of the @GOP now is that you can vote for anyone you like, but it doesn’t count if it’s not us. Heads we win, tails we coup. #AntiAmerican

I always told my journalists, there aren’t two sides to a lie. Yes, you should be non-partisan, but not neutral. Journalists must be biased in favor of the truth and facts. Biased in favor of democracy itself. We protect the press so the press can protect democracy. Let’s do that

@HardballChris Your new book coming in June will be a priority for a while, understandably, but who better than you to take on the scourge of propaganda and all it's doing to the principles of our democracy. Save a little juice, Chris🙂 Cheers.

Pres. Biden: “Who in the Lord’s name does Putin think gives him the right to declare new so-called 'countries' on territory that belonged to his neighbors? This is a flagrant violation of international law." https://t.co/BOzesuccXF

@JohnLegere I've been asking friends if they know a holiday song from the 1966 stage play "Mame" called "We Need a Little Christmas." Try to hum it before hearing the song? https://t.co/3nQSnYhpTu
