Four nationwide changes we need to improve the integrity, stability & credibility of our democratic process:

-Ranked Choice Voting
-Open primaries
-Abolish the electoral college, POTUS elections decided by popular vote
-Outlaw & eliminate partisan gerrymandering at every level

A 3-judge panel rejected the maps for Congressional districts drawn by Alabama's GOP-led legislature in violation of a SCOTUS ruling under the Voting Rights Act & has appointed a special master to draw a new map. https://t.co/I7JwIPosEB

Republicans do not care anything about We The People, they care only about control and power for themselves.

Mike Johnson: "We can't allow big blue states and crooked Democrat governors to try to steal elections away from us."

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

Trump has allowed China to lap us on energy, all so he can take in donations from dying fossil fuel companies. Trump First, America Last.

[The Mad Mod Pod @TheMadModPod]

He spent $700k of your tax $$ to make a perfectly fine walkway into some palace-like absurdity with African granite carved in Italy.

In addition to the huge waste of $$ that this is, our White House is not supposed to be a palace. There’s a reason it’s called The People’s House.

I disagree, Putin should stand as close to windows as humanly possible.

Really look out that window Vlad, go on and take in the view.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

“If the Democrats win, Congress will do its job again” is a wild message from the current Speaker of the House

[The Mad Mod Pod @TheMadModPod]

We warned everyone that free & fair elections would be at risk in a Trump 2.0 administration, and what do ya know…

Trump will do anything to prevent a referendum on his lame-duck presidency and stop Congress from using its power to block appointments and begin investigations.

[Maria Shriver @mariashriver]

My heart goes out to Pete and Chasten and it enrages me that this happened to them. Of course it could happen to anyone who uses their voice about anything today. We must all denounce this and stand with this family. This anonymous caller should be arrested. @PeteButtigieg

[The Mad Mod Pod @TheMadModPod]

Vance says this insane comment without even a hint of irony… Given that his own boss committing a Watergate-level scandal, or worse, every week at this point, is the reason Nixon’s Watergate cover-up scandal is considered less serious now to people than in the pre-Trump era.

[Hemant Mehta @hemantmehta]

The Republican platform: You think things are bad NOW? Wait until you see what we have in store for the FUTURE!

[Ken Thompson 🇺🇸🦅 @Ken__Thompson]

And people genuinely wonder why we’re so divided, as if our own president isn’t ground fucking zero for stirring shit up whenever, wherever, and however he can…

[Acyn @Acyn]

Trump: We were a laughing stock all over the world. We had a man that couldn't walk down those two steps. We had a man that couldn't sign a document. He had to use an auto pen. You saw the auto pen over there. He was an autoen. We call him the autoen president and think of it like 96% of the things he signed, he couldn't sign his name. What happened was a rigged election

[Ken Thompson 🇺🇸🦅 @Ken__Thompson]

You mean the sitting Senator who tried to fight someone testifying in the middle of his own Senate hearing is behaving like an unstable lunatic?

That guy? Shhhocking. 🤦‍♂️

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

"Mr secretary! The floor is hers. You know, there is a chairman. That's me" -- even the Republican committee chair is losing patience with Markwayne Mullin, who is gripping a stress ball as he clearly struggles to control his temper

[The Mad Mod Pod @TheMadModPod]

The only Reflecting Pool vandal is Donald John Trump… America’s worst president.

As a universal principle, the best way for Trump to help is to not ever get involved at all.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

The top 1% now hold as much wealth as the entire bottom 90% of Americans combined — about 32% each.

This is what runaway inequality looks like, according to the Fed's most recent data released this month.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Dear @netflix DO NOT DO THIS

[The Mad Mod Pod @TheMadModPod]

That’s weird since a bunch of fraudsters are ripping off our government right now, and almost all of them have the last name Trump.

[The Mad Mod Pod @TheMadModPod]

Where’s @jaketapper when you need really him. New book idea…

Original Sin 2: Old Never Looked So Orange

[Ken Thompson 🇺🇸🦅 @Ken__Thompson]

@StateDept Sure, sure.🤦‍♂️

In this kind of situation, there’s what “is allowed” on paper, and then there’s what is actually done in practice.

Don’t gaslight us by pretending to conflate the two. We know you know this is a shit sandwich of epic proportions.

[The Mad Mod Pod @TheMadModPod]

If we ever make it out of this shit…

Congress & the next POTUS (hopefully a moral person, if that’s even possible), must overhaul all the rules for all acting Cabinet positions. Starting with reducing how long one can stay in a position, and real penalties if that time expires.

[The Mad Mod Pod @TheMadModPod]

Ted either really believes this, which makes him an idiot, or he knows it’s pandering bullshit, but he doesn’t care because lying to win elections matter more to him than breathing, and he can’t imagine his life out of office (although the rest of gladly can).

Don’t be like Ted.
