Gezus - he is full-on dictator now in his mind, and not a single Republican has the chutzpah to explain to him this is a democracy. Shameful! https://t.co/URBgQ1Caya

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Mr. President, I see you’ve had a busy morning of “Executive Time.” Instead of tweeting false smears, the American people would appreciate it if you turned off the TV and helped solve the funding crisis, protected Dreamers or...really anything else. https://t.co/lVqQRu2Gjl

“The #TrumpTax will disproportionately benefit wealthy real estate companies, such as the one that Trump owns.” — @Chuster of @nwlc

[Ricky Gervais @rickygervais]

The same tests would provide the same results. It might take more or less time and we may find more or less results in a given time. But scientific facts are merely discoveries about the actual universe. Not like fiction which is only bound by our imagination. https://t.co/SKmGzdmG9I

"If those critics of the agency persuade the public that the F.B.I. cannot be trusted, they will also have succeeded in making our nation less safe." https://t.co/JiMylz1k0f

Trump could shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue and his supporters in Congress would accuse anyone who said “Hey, Trump just shot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue!” of bias.

“Taking away health care coverage from 500,000 people here in Kentucky is bad policy.”

In retrospect, wouldn't Nunes have been better off declaring he'd been forced to "bow" to FBI pressure to keep memo classified, and let Hannity keep alive their lame conspiracy theory, rather than have the memo out and exposed as a dud?

[Joe Scarborough @ScarboroughNow]

In retrospect, Nunes would have been better off remaining a dairy farmer instead of coming to Congress and wrecking the US House Intel committee. https://t.co/d27MzpLpQA

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Now that folks realize the #NunesMemo is a nothing burger, let's ask the real questions:
-Why is @realDonaldTrump so scared of the @FBI surveillance of Carter Page?
-What did that surveillance reveal that caused multiple judges to extend it?
-What's in the Carter Page tapes?

MUST READ: Anthony Graves was wrongly convicted in 1994 for killing six people. He was exonerated in 2010 after having served 18 and a half years in prison. He now works for the ACLU of Texas fighting to end mass incarceration. https://t.co/GMfu8MGuuL

@rickygervais All very well put, how anyone can be blind enough not to see all this as the most obvious thing in the world is entirely beyond me.

[Ricky Gervais @rickygervais]

Yes, but it wouldn't be the same. Unlike scientific facts. https://t.co/TzkAbgIdyf
