@aplusk@TheEllenShow@TheEllenShow has been nothing but kind to us random fans. She prank called my wife on the show 13 years ago, and then fullfilled a promise and arranged tickets for us to see a taping for my wife's 40th bday. We were invited back for the 12 days giveaway that @aplusk co-hosted.
Trump in 2016: Repeal and replace!
Trump in 2018: Repeal and…maybe replace?
Trump in 2019: Repeal now, re-elect, then replace with a secret health care plan we have yet to develop.
And in the meantime —
— don’t get sick.
@maklelan@SpencerWMcBride Metallica black was also my first tape purchased with my own money. Also REM, Automatic For the People, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Greatest Hits, and Brooks and Dunn, Brand New Man.
@GOP @senatemajldr Right... millions will lose health insurance, most Americans received no tax relief as promised, and farmers are begging for handouts because of failed trade policy. I think you meant to say, "the rich are clearly better off than two years ago." #ACA#economy#GOPTaxScam
Dumping the Electoral College means that a man’s vote in California counts as much as a woman’s vote in Minnesota. It means everyone in America has equal say. It means no one is valued more than anyone else.
I support the abolition of the Electoral College.
Who’s with us?
@Rawlins_RL I have a more relevant question. How much would someone have to earn to make a living wage, and not rely on government assistance? #FightFor15
let me put it bluntly: every argument for the electoral college became null and void as soon as the united states adopted a semblance of something like universal suffrage (so roughly the 1830s, with the advent of universal white male suffrage).
The winner-take-all Electoral College is not in the constitution. We either need to base electoral votes on percentage of that state's votes or get rid of it. The current system is not representative of the electorate. #ElectoralCollege
Colorado joins 13 state pact to recalibrate the Electoral College. The National Popular Vote plan would guarantee the presidency to whomever won the most votes in all 50 states. https://t.co/B57pKSY0nG
@Rawlins_RL@EricHolder Remind me again the last time any Utah vote (electoral or otherwise) had any effect in a presidential election. I think that it's hilarious that decisions of individual states will be the undoing of the #ElectoralCollege
Socialism is a scare word they've hurled at every advance the people have made. Socialism is what they called public power, social security, deposit insurance, and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for anything that helps all people.

@Rawlins_RL@EdGlavin@nytimes Drunk drivers don't even come close to killing more people than gun carriers. The auto industry is one of the most regulated in the country. License, insurance, registration, saftey req.'s. Great idea to apply auto regs to guns!
