It’s been 10 years since the Supreme Court opened the floodgates for unlimited corporate money to pour into our politics and corrupt our democracy.

RT if you agree: It’s time to overturn Citizens United.

The FBI sent a letter to convince Dr. King to kill himself in 1964.

@PreetBharara Moscow Mitch, of course!

The 26 richest people on Earth now own as much as the 3.8 billion who form the poorer *half* of the planet’s population.

Again, 26 people own as much as 3.8 billion people.

A classic Russian ploy is to sow division and distrust between natural allies. So when you see overblown outrage trending on Twitter, ask yourself WWPW (what would Putin want) and maybe breathe and let the hashtag pass.

Changing records of history at the National Archives to conceal criticism of Trump is terrifying.

[Richard Engel @RichardEngel]

The US national archives - the supposed official record and repository of the nation - is now blurring and censoring historic moments? erasing/editing history to appease the powerful or placate the easily offended. History is what it is.

What if — and hear me out here — Bloomberg and Steyer used the $220 million+ they’re spending on TV ads to pay off the fines and fees now keeping hundreds of thousands of Floridians from the polls in 2020?

Trump’s China deal:

-China agrees to buy $50B of ag products this year.

-That's a gain of $29B from before Trump tariffs.

-Trump tariffs have cost U.S. farmers $11B.

-U.S. taxpayers have spent $28B on emergency payouts to farmers.

-So loss to U.S. is $39B.

You do the math.

For the love of all things holy, stop saying we can't afford to provide health care for all Americans. We're spending $738 billion on a Space Force. #DemDebate

@JonathanTurley You are tied to Trump and the Republicans forever in history. #shame

[Barb McQuade @BarbMcQuade]

Here are the GOP defenses I have heard so far to articles of impeachment, along with the knee-jerk responses I have been shouting at my television.

It's been two years since Trump's signature economic initiative — a giant tax cut for billionaires and corporations.

He promised it would spur economic growth and boost the middle class.

Here's what it did instead:

@maddow I'm guessing @PeteButtigieg interview was to make up for @Lawrence 's shameful, over-the-top attack on him. Least you could do, @MSNBC - glad you did it. Way more people watch @maddow 😁

[Pam Worner @PamGreenDog]

@PeteButtigieg I want to say that @Lawrence was WAY out of line in attacking you on @TheLastWord. He could have calmly made his points, but instead he ranted and repeatedly called you a liar. He's always been a pompous ass but this was way over the line. #firelawrence

[Pam Worner @PamGreenDog]

@Lawrence @TheLastWord I'm a diehard watcher of MSNBC until your show comes on. I find you pompous, smug, & condescending. The way you attacked Buttigieg last night was shrill & mean-spirited - you could correct him without grandstanding. Glad Ari's on tonight!

[God @TheTweetOfGod]

Next time just dogs.

[Glenn Kirschner @glennkirschner2]

Here’s the grave danger to our country: if this bribery scheme is OK per the Republicans, than Trump can add personal conditions/addendums to EVERY congressional allocation of $. Congress is both endorsing lawlessness AND relinquishing its power of the purse.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

I agree with this & worry about the impact on our country. Remember Trump asked Zelensky for a “favor” the day after Mueller testified in Congress. What won’t he do next, knowing GOP senators won’t hold him accountable?

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Missed the impeachment hearings over the last 2 weeks? Well, I watched almost every word (doing commentary for @NBCNews & @MSNBC ) so you didn't have to. My quick takeaways in one thread. 1.
