@Acyn I didn’t know Billy Bush was a Fox News contributor these days. Trump basically torpedoed his career, and now he’s appearing on Trump Central? Interesting choice.

@RpsAgainstTrump @dizzymisfit057 This doesn’t look like someone interested in bipartisan cooperation, @SenSchumer and @RepJeffries. Maybe stop preemptively playing nice, huh?

@petermarteka I forget where I heard it, but “Tappan Zee Brakes” always makes me chuckle.

[Mike Thompson @MMThomp]

Completely agree here. Schumer is not for this moment. Democrats very, very much need to go with someone else.

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Jon Stewart on Chuck Schumer: “Someone has to meet this moment. You have an opportunity to actually govern. One of the first things you need to do is remove that system of seniority from Democratic politics. It’s a bullshit system and it needs to go. Chuck Schumer fought tooth and nail against half of these fucking people. He does not understand the urgency of the moment and what the future demands”

@JezziiB @mehdirhasan I mean…..hopefully that’s what happens. If they don’t, it means today went horribly wrong

[Mike Thompson @MMThomp]

@mikemayer22 It was, but……as soon as someone got on base he should’ve been gone.

I just watched it and, yeah, Trump really really really didn’t need to be part of that cold open last night. If you have Tom Hanks come back as David S. Pumpkins, then for crying out loud let it be a David S. Pumpkins skit. #SNL

@RapidResponse47 Yes, it is. I don’t think you know how absentee ballots work. This was literally never a problem until your Fearless Leader threw a temper tantrum.

[Mike Thompson @MMThomp]

@AP Explain it to me like I’m a small child: Even if she had knowledge, what is the crime here? The ballot couldn’t be more clear who’s the incumbent and who isn’t. How is two people with the same name running for the same office illegal?

Congrats, brewers

@Acyn Obama knows how to play Trump like a fiddle, and it’s wonderful.

[Mike Thompson @MMThomp]

@HowieRose Very well-deserved. One might say ….. captain-worthy 😉

@pxwhittle Until this “controversy,” I never knew how many Republicans were Cheesecake Factory regulars.

[Mike Thompson @MMThomp]

@ScottJenningsKY “Regular folks” can eat at The Cheesecake Factory? In Trump’s economy?

[Mike Thompson @MMThomp]

For an amazing game like that to end on a questionable check swing call is……a little disappointing. #WorldSeries

[Mike Thompson @MMThomp]

@KatieMiller So you highlighted the part that says “if you have actually created a crime”? Is going after those who committed crimes a bad thing? Just trying to figure out where the party of law and order sits on this one.

[Mike Thompson @MMThomp]

@covie_93 @dizzymisfit057 A nasty, nasty person.

@PopCrave It is possible to support Palestine and Jewish people at the same time. Shocking, I know.
