Bondi made a strong case Hunter Biden’s Burisma appointment was nepotism. Probably true. But, if giving a job to an unqualified kid or spouse of an influential member of government was illegal, half the Senate would be indicted and Trump would have been impeached for nepotism.
No, Mr. President, we did ask John Bolton to testify. You ordered him not to, and blocked others, like Mick Mulvaney.
All Americans know what a fair trial includes documents and witnesses.
What are you hiding?
.@RepAdamSchiff’s opening was magnificent. If you missed it, you owe it to yourself to find it and listen to it. It made me proud not just as his teacher, mentor, and friend but as a lawyer, a professor, and, above all, as an American.
McConnell’s will be judged harshly by history. Generations of Americans will read about how he and others helped a corrupt, lawless cult leader not be held accountable for abusing the powers of the presidency. History will not forget. And come November, voters should remember!
We are accused daily of “getting involved in politics.” Guilty as charged.
So are the silent. The silent are up to their elbows in politics. Silence lets bad actors have their corrupt way with the public trust.
God’s Common Good must be protected—loudly—by people of goodwill.

The myth of @realDonaldTrump as a successful businessman is over. The truth? He's the largest loser in the IRS system, and the spoiled inheritor of his daddy's real estate empire. #TrumpTaxes

There are three inescapable facts from the Mueller report that Mitch McConnell can't hide:
1. A foreign government attacked our elections in order to help Donald Trump.
2. Trump welcomed that help.
3. Trump tried to obstruct the investigation into his actions.
"Voucher programs often start small – such as targeting students with disabilities or families with lower incomes...Eventually, students using vouchers are those who have never enrolled in a public school..." #OklaEd https://t.co/RjqgMEHgdz
Unlike Trump, I’ll side with our environment over special interests and Big Oil. Unlike Trump, I’ll side with students over predatory for-profit colleges. Unlike Trump, I’ll side with consumers over Wall Street’s greed and abuse. We need a new president.
Broad support for defending our public schools, their teachers, and kids comes from many denominations across the nation. The message is clear: We are with you! #OklaEd
I keep hearing Republicans in Congress blame Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid for the growing federal debt. Rubbish. Tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations are causing deficits to soar, not social spending.
Trump’s budget would hurt older Americans by cutting billions from Medicare and Social Security, more than a year after the GOP’s tremendous tax cuts for the 1%. How is it fair to balance the budget on the backs of our seniors? I won’t stand for it.
Paul Manafort’s lenient 4-year sentence — far below the recommended 20 years despite extensive felonies and post-conviction obstruction — is a reminder of the blatant inequities in our justice system that we all know about, because they reoccur every week in courts across America
For over 80 years, Republicans have used the term "socialist" to attack every Democratic program that's become essential to the wellbeing of Americans.
While the right keeps screeching on calling everything “socialism” (as nations w/ univ healthcare + better work standards enjoy better health & work life than Americans),
they happily cheer on an authoritarian President & defend the destruction of American Democracy. ⬇️
