To my Republican colleagues who introduced this sham resolution: You honor me with your enmity.
You flatter me with this falsehood.
Your words tell me that I have been effective in the defense of our democracy, and I am grateful.
Elon’s lawyers just told a federal judge the “Twitter Files” were all a big lie, nothing more than a marketing campaign to appeal to the lowest common denominator
Happening now: Massive protests in Montana as people demand Republicans Let Zooey Speak. Representative Zephyr, the state's first trans rep, is being denied the right to speak on any bill.
Several anti-trans bills will now be heard.
Follow with me live. 🧵
We must bring the Supreme Court into alignment with the rest of the federal courts. The highest court should not have the lowest standards. https://t.co/RZ2wc0Vo7g
Move over RuPaul! Time for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Drag Queen Story Hour… an unofficial sponsor of @randyrainbowpod. Hear more on this week’s episode with @Instatituss at https://t.co/JDLutANVdC 🎧💕🌈
A Nazi-curious billionaire who has spent two and a half decades pampering a Supreme Court Justice bought the house where the Justice’s mother lives from him, she remains a resident there on unknown terms, and they have kept the whole thing a secret.
"I hear racist statements all the time."
Tennessee state Rep. Gloria Johnson, who survived an expulsion vote, says race played a role in votes to remove two of her colleagues, who are Black. One lawmaker, Justin Jones, has been reinstated. https://t.co/iSkCU1dYGe
WATCH: Sen. Klobuchar says the Senate Judiciary Cmte. will hold hearings over Supreme Court ethical standards and calls on Chief Justice Roberts to implement ethics rules across the high court. https://t.co/RdYLvfum24
So it turns out that the entire ruling that suddenly blocked the FDA's approval of the abortion drug mifepristone, which was approved over 2 decades ago, all started when Josh Hawley’s wife Erin Morrow Hawley led the case by the conservative Christian legal group Alliance Defending Freedom. That case is the one that caused this ridiculous ruling.
Claire McCaskill said it best — Republicans will try and outlaw abortion everywhere in this country and they won’t stop until the people of this country say no.
Sidney Powell reportedly “recruited the firm that employs the data forensics experts, SullivanStrickler, to copy software & data from Dominion… machines that [Coffee County, GA] used.” They had NO AUTHORITY. Where is @TheJusticeDept?! 9/6/22 1/ https://t.co/Lh7vbEZYLc
🧵 Something I hear occasionally from voters is frustration that Democrats "don't do anything."
"Instead of wasting time doing XYZ, why don't you work on bills that will actually go somewhere?"
Let's talk about why and how that doesn't end up happening, even when we try.

NEW: These are students at the University of Wisconsin, Eau Clare waiting in a long line to vote in the Supreme Court election right now. Young people are fire up and turning out — & they will save Wisconsin. This is absolutely huge.
🚨🚨Tomorrow, Wisconsin will hold an absolutely critical election for a seat on its Supreme Court. It’s no exaggeration to say that this race is the single most important election in America this year.
Whichever side wins will hold a 4-to-3 majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Importantly, this is the FIRST American election in which the winner will single-handedly determine two key issues: the fate of abortion rights in Wisconsin and whether the state has a functional representative democracy. The winner will also have a HUGE impact on the 2024 presidential election — in a state where fewer than 23,000 votes decided four of the last six such races.
That is why it’s so important for ALL Wisconsinites to vote for Judge @janetforjustice on April 4th! 💙
