Congress must protect Mueller! It’s getting more and more obvious that Trump will move to terminate Mueller via one of several ways. Mitch McConnell must allow a vote to protect Mueller! Otherwise he is complicit!

[Chelsea Handler @chelseahandler]

Washington wants to wait on impeachment because it’s not politically convenient right now. We can’t let that stop us. Our democracy is at risk every day and the lives of millions are in danger. Democracy requires immediate action that is why we need to #ImpeachTrumpNow @TomSteyer

[Stephen Colbert @StephenAtHome]

I’m surprised the NRA was affiliated with car rental companies at all, considering Hertz and Avis enforce tyrannical rules like "age restrictions" and "having a license."

If kids are worried about getting suspended for protesting gun violence and ruining their college prospects I PROMISE YOU “Why I Was Suspended For Fighting the NRA” is a better college admission essay topic than “How Soccer Made Me a Team Player.”

Friendly reminder that most of the Parkland students will be able to vote in the 2020 election and Dinesh D'Souza will not because he is a convicted felon.

[Stephen King @StephenKing]

The NRA thinking: "They're just kids. They'll get all excited about their proms or their Facebook walls or something; maybe some new singer or fashion trend. Don't worry. They'll forget."
Not this time.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Parkland, Florida, teacher on CNN who had to hide 19 crying kids in a closet in her classroom: “We did everything we were trained to do in active shooter drills, and still we had mass casualties. I blame our government for not keeping us safe.”

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

I am at a loss for what more to say. I grieve with the families in Parkland today. I grieve with the families across the country who have suffered loss due to gun violence. Congress has a moral obligation to take action and spare more families from this violence.

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

In literally EVERY mass shooting I can recall, the shooter has been a male. That doesn’t speak well for my gender, I’m afraid. But it suggests to me that the NRA’s worst excesses are driven by doubts about masculinity. Small hands, big guns. A lethal equation.

It needs to be said: Donald Trump was put into office with the knowing help of a foreign enemy who sought to weaken our world leadership and has succeeded. Trump is now undermining our institutions and democracy. He is a traitor to America.

[Stefanie Iris Weiss 🔥⚡️ @EcoSexuality]

I know he lied a whole bunch of times (even though I’m not watching) but I haven’t seen a single tweet suggesting anyone yelled YOU LIE. Step up your game democrats #sotu

[Aaron Niequist @aaronieq]

Hearing politicians argue for transparency (releasing the Nunez memo) while actively undermining an active investigation (Mueller) is almost more hypocrisy that I can bear. How do they say this stuff with a straight face?

[The Daily Show @TheDailyShow]

Pumped for Robert Mueller’s new show!

[Stephen Colbert @StephenAtHome]

Mueller, a few weeks from now: "Thank you for sitting down for this interview, Mr. President. First, I'm going to ask you to point to anyone in this room who you regret not firing."

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

When Hillary Clinton was being investigated, Trump and the GOP were praising the FBI. Flash forward to today and Trump and the GOP are attacking the FBI — describing it as “in tatters” and a “secret society.” So what changed? The person being investigated is now @realDonaldTrump.
