[Sen. Kesha Ram Hinsdale @KeshaRam]

A coalition of Rs, Ds, Is and Progs in the #VT Legislature have advanced a joint resolution calling on the Cabinet or Congress to #RemoveOrResign @realDonaldTrump. It just passed the #VT House 130-15 and comes to the Senate tomorrow. Vermont stands united - he must go. #vtpoli

For reference, there were 14,000+ arrests at the George Floyd protests.

Mike Pence is like that guy you knew in high school who was a huge asshole.

[Bradley Whitford @bradleywhitford]

”Mr. Vice President, you're time is up.”

[Leana Wen, M.D. @DrLeanaWen]

If @realDonaldTrump were my patient, in unstable condition + contagious illness, & he suddenly left the hospital to go for a car ride that endangers himself & others:

I'd call security to restrain him then perform a psychiatric evaluation to examine his decision-making capacity.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

It is what it is because Donald Trump is who he is.

Well, well, welly, well, well, well...here’s a little g’day from "Douglas"...looking forward to sharing the whole kit and kaboodle with y’all this May 26 on @netflixisajoke and @most.

There's an enormous difference between:

(a) People ravaged by a system's oppressions discussing the resilience needed to survive and thrive in it, and

(b) People who uphold the system ignoring those oppressions and telling people ravaged by it they need more grit.

What does it mean when I haven’t checked twitter for months, but Hulu suddenly goes down and immediately I check to see if anyone else has tweeted about the same problem?

[Ellen Repstad @Learnjoy]

@rrepstad Omg. I need to check Twitter more. This was an awesome convo!

[Ellen Repstad @Learnjoy]

@hulu seems to be having some serious issues tonight! @hulu_support

[Ellen Repstad @Learnjoy]

@mollywidstrom @hulu Same problem! 🤬

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The government of the United States is not a bargaining chip. A president cannot close the government when he doesn’t get his way, and then offer to open it as a concession when he does. That would not be a democracy; it would be a dictatorship.

[Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy]

We’re hearing ‘We’ve received thousands of documents.’ Let’s look a little closer. What we got includes event invitations like this, duplicated MORE THAN 44,000 TIMES. The American people need to see #JudgeKavanaugh’s full record. #WhatAreTheyHiding?

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

I can't believe we have to say this in the year 2018: Poverty is not a crime.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans, convicted of nothing, should not be in jail because they can't afford their bail.
