I’m calling on @TheDemocrats to open up debate requirements for January so more candidates can participate. This is more important than any one campaign—it’s about finding the best person to represent our party, defeat @realDonaldTrump, and lead our country forward.

Matt Gaetz argues that with the time consumed by this impeachment process, Congress could do things that Republicans declined to do when they controlled all three elected branches of the federal government

4 December 1939 | A Jewish girl Magdalena Dora Blau was born in Rotterdam in The Netherlands to Fritz and Mina.

On 11 August 1942 she was murdered in a gas chamber at the #Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp.

She was 2 years old.

NATO is central to American security in a troubled world. It is a political alliance of democracies with a formidable military capability. Their military budget is larger than Russia and China combined. Trump is wrecking NATO and embracing Putin.

If she or another electable moderate gets the nomination, the party will be in her debt. She is doing her best to make certain Democrats do not “screw this up.” https://t.co/c884hLzE9B

Trump's proposed cuts to food stamps would affect:

- 400,000 people in Texas

- 328,000 in Florida

- 225,000 in Pennsylvania

- 176,000 in Washington State

- 165,000 in Michigan

- 118,000 in Wisconsin

- 97,000 in Georgia

Pass it on.

Walmart has offered its employees a 15 percent store discount instead of holiday pay this year.

At the same time, the company is saving an estimated $2.2B a year thanks to the Trump tax cuts.

America has socialism for the rich, cold, hard capitalism for everyone else.

Prep for Thanksgiving dinner with crazy relative. Repeat after me: bribery occurs when a public official DEMANDS a thing of value in exchange for the performance of an official act. Crime is complete even if the thing is not provided nor the act performed. Please pass the turkey.

What does Trump have on Lindsey Graham???

To paraphrase an old line from pro football, you worry that Rick Perry couldn't spell God if you spotted him the G and the d.

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

We do not think that is has anything to do with the society, but public visibility & modern popular culture. This is why we have decided to be a bit more active and ask for support of those for whom Auschwitz and its history is important. And @katyperry visited @AuschwitzMuseum.

So Trump threatened to w/hold military aid from Ukraine, walked away from our Kurd allies in the Mideast, and now he’s blowing our defense agreement with South Korea - https://t.co/SfgkxqOsFM

I love how @glennkirschner2 just got on TV and told John Bolton to "woman up."

Sen. Lindsey Graham on Joe Biden: "If you can't admire Joe Biden as a person then probably you've got a problem, you need to do some self-evaluation....He is as good a man as God ever created."

The facts are not in dispute of Trump’s abuse of office by extortion of a foreign government to mug a political rival. His fantasy lies, impulsive nature, and complicit behavior with Putin are obvious. The behavior of some Republicans is is shameful.
