NBC's @GarrettHaake: "You can't buy a beer when you're 18 years old. Why do you need to be able to buy an assault rifle?"
Rep. Tony Gonzalez (R-TX) dodges the question three times: "We have to be unified ... This country is not unified ... There's so much rhetoric and hate."
📽️ @PAHouseGOP leader has meltdown on House floor after it was raised that his caucus is 100% white in a chamber that is 70% male while pushing bills that hurt women's health, especially Black and brown women.
He had it stricken from the record then they shut down the floor.
"Look at the Koch Brothers and...Heritage Foundation and conservative lobby groups that are doing a victory lap, claiming victory over the fact that Manchin refuses to change on the filibuster. And I think that these two things are very closely intertwined." -@AOC on #HR1
Dear @GOPLeader: Please remove Rep Matt Gaetz from the House Judiciary Committee immediately. The Committee has jurisdiction over the Department of Justice that is investigating Rep Gaetz, including allegedly for sex crimes with a minor. This is an untenable conflict of interest.
Republican Senator John Kennedy asks @StaceyAbrams to give him a list of provisions in Georgia’s new voter suppression law that she objects to.
It’s a long list.
Give it a listen:
I am happy to work with Republicans on this issue where there’s common ground, but you almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago so you can sit this one out.
Happy to work w/ almost any other GOP that aren’t trying to get me killed.
In the meantime if you want to help, you can resign.
You fist-pumped insurrectionists and baselessly attacked our elections. Your actions fueled a riot and you fundraised in the chaos. Five people are dead.
Even your GOP colleagues have distanced from your acts.
Yet here you are crying over a book deal. You should be expelled.
Raffensperger adviser to @MarcACaputo on why they recorded their call with Trump: “Lindsey Graham asked us to throw out legally cast ballots. So yeah, after that call, we decided maybe we should do this.” @playbookplus
Friendly reminder that BB19 Cody is a COVID-denying, Trump-supporting, transphobic bigot. Let’s all stop pretending he’s anything else. I always talk about holding family and friends accountable but “celebrities” should be, too!!! Stop. Supporting. Him.
So while Trump has been screeching about Biden & his "shady Chinese business deals," Trump has not only maintained a secret Chinese bank account, but he paid $188,561 in taxes in China from 2013 to 2015, while paying practically nothing in the United States.
Sen. Graham said "hold the tape" when he declared that we should not be selecting a Supreme Court Justice in an election year.
Well, the tape was held. And I'm here to hold him accountable for the promise he made to the people of South Carolina.
This is the most frightening answer I have ever received to any question I have ever asked. I’ve interviewed convicted killers with more empathy. @realDonaldTrump is advocating Civil War.
As a historian who has written about the Holocaust, I'll say bluntly: This is indistinguishable from the Nazi rhetoric that led to Jews, disabled people, LGBTQ, Romani and others being exterminated. This is America 2020. This is where the GOP has taken us.
.@Twitter, @jack—if anything he’s tweeted has ever needed to be taken down, it’s this. For the sake of your platform, if not the country, do it. Please.
(RT if you agree out there.)
The Postmaster General must resign.
He’s slowed delivery, banned overtime & decommissioned mail-sorting machines.
Right before the election. During a pandemic.
The House must demand answers. Hearings should start now. It can’t wait.
We won’t let Trump destroy the Post Office.
Apologize for this, @TuckerCarlson. Go on your show tonight and tell your audience of catheter-wearing racists what a shitbag you are. Be a man for ONCE in your coddled, soft, worthless, fancy-lad life.
