Kevin McCarthy: “Each day spent relitigating the past is one day less we have to seize the future.”
George Orwell, ‘1984’:
“There is a Party slogan dealing with the control of the past...Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past.”
McConnell publicly stated that his #1 priority is to block Biden from getting anything done, just as he did with Obama. Why does the media perpetuate the insane narrative that it’s the Democrats who refuse to compromise in their attempt to pass overwhelmingly popular legislation?
Was delighted to hear this morning from Kris Condon, daughter of my beloved first-grade public school teacher, who writes that Americans who have already forgotten the insurrection are like those saying "that Nuremberg was unnecessary since the Third Reich no longer exists."
The story of the Neera hearings isn’t her tweets, it’s that Republicans spent four years proving they don’t think even the most despicable online conduct is disqualifying for public service and now are pretending to believe otherwise. It’s the bad faith, as always.
After 1865, Jefferson Davis and his collaborators were never subjected to serious justice after leading the insurrection of the Civil War, and one of the ultimate results was the institutionalized racism of the next 155 years.
There is nothing polite about fascism.
There is nothing civil about grabbing pussies.
There is nothing polite about putting children in cages.
There is nothing civil about leaving 400K people to die of a pandemic.
There is nothing polite about white supremacy, fuckers.
NEW: The Secret Service just revealed another $19K in taxpayer payments to Trump’s private company.
The payments were caused by Trump’s visits to his Las Vegas hotels. Agents had to follow. Trump Org charged for their rooms.
(Taxpayers have paid Trump Org $2.5M and counting).
When word of Tesla's purchase of $1.5 billion of bitcoin became public yesterday, the value of world bitcoin rose by about $90 billion and the value of Tesla rose by about $8 billion. Musk owns more than 20% of Tesla, so his net worth rose by well over $1 billion. Just sayin.
I am full of gratitude to @RepRaskin that after such personal loss and tragedy, he is able to put country first and perform this defense of our democracy and rule of law. 🇺🇸
Bruce Castor conducted a brilliant experiment to determine how many Republican senators would turn against Donald Trump based on an almost completely empty defense presentation. The answer is one.
I will be testifying with taxi drivers and their families at the @NYCCouncil hearing tomorrow, Wednesday, 2/10 at 10am with the Committee of Immigration (jointly with the Committee on Aging).
Listen, watch and share these stories.
