Justice Sotomayor is right - there is a stench on the Court. Raw political power, not Constitutional law and precedent, is the currency of this Supreme Court majority and a direct threat to women’s rights. #BansOffOurBodies #CodifyRoe

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

Republicans want the government shut down so they can campaign off of the dysfunction. They want the virus to spread so they can campaign off of the deaths. They're intentionally breaking the government so they can campaign off of it being broken.

I just subscribed to Letters from Lisa https://t.co/qpLQBUeYzr Subscribed because Olive never fails to bring a smile, the work you do for and with veterans and honest civility of your approach to people. I can't help but think RW would be very proud of who you are today.

Speaking as somebody who survived stage 4 cancer & is now staying at home so I don't get this thing:

Fuck you William Barr. https://t.co/n3uxBOmJMO

[Governor Christine Todd Whitman @GovCTW]

This #President is now truly getting out of control. In talking about “liberating” the states, he is using language that could well lead to rioting. No one has done more to undermine our constitution and destroy our country’s values than @realDonaldTrump.

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

Republicans are refusing to pass a bill that has
- free coronavirus testing
- paid emergency medical leave
- extended unemployment insurance
- food assistance
- help for health care workers. Call their offices, tell them to get their shit together and do it. Thanks.

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

Several of my Republican colleagues today expressed concern about the politicization of the DOJ. I share their concern.

They should join my call for an investigation into whether Attorney General Barr is inappropriately running the DOJ to benefit Trump politically.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

Can this be right ?

If a Democrat is President, lying about a blow-job is grounds for impeachment

If a Republican is President, betraying his country's defence policy again Russia...isn't

What am I missing here ?

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

I just signed #AB44 -- one of the strongest animal rights laws in US History -- making California the first state in the nation to ban new fur sales.

Also signed a package of important bills that will bring an end to the cruel treatment of many animals across our state.

Times Square Right now:

Massive rally to support Trump’s immediate impeachment.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

President @realDonaldTrump’s betrayal of the Kurds has given 3 dictators—Putin, Assad, and Erdogan—a free hand to expand their dark shadow over Syria.

It’s bad for America and for our partners the Kurds.

Why is he kowtowing to dictators?

Federal judge threatens to toss Betsy DeVos in jail for contempt

"At best it is gross negligence, at worst it's an intentional flouting of my order."

[David Frum @davidfrum]

New Trumpist talking point: the only way to stop Turkey massacre of Kurds is to go to war against Turkey. But Turkey never believed that: that’s why they asked Trump’s permission to invade. All he had to do was say No. He said Yes. Why? All the plausible answers are corrupt

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Yesterday, marathoner Eliud Kipchoge became the first ever to break two hours. Today in Chicago, Brigid Kosgei set a new women’s world record. Staggering achievements on their own, they’re also remarkable examples of humanity’s ability to endure—and keep raising the bar.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Donald Trump is a threat to our democracy. He must be impeached.

I wrote about Ronan Farrow's chilling new book, and the networks of powerful people who are still in charge of telling the story of power and politics in America: https://t.co/cd3vPg6shS
