Theresa Reid, Michigan Dem County Party Chair

Proud to be on the pro-democracy team! Chair, Washtenaw County MI Dems. Love fiction, movies, my kids, dogs, hubby, and allies. Views my own.

When Trump’s nominee for Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was pushing Russia propaganda about alleged US bioweapons labs in Ukraine to try and persuade Congress not to provide aid (exactly what Putin hoped would happen), Mitt Romney tweeted this.

64 years ago today, six-year-old Ruby Bridges became the first Black student to attend an all-white elementary school in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Her courage continues to inspire us as we fight to fulfill the promise of America.

Whether it's Tim Walz expanding his state's school lunch program or Matt Gaetz giving cocaine and Ecstasy to underage sex workers, both sides have taken controversial approaches towards feeding children.

As a former CIA case officer, I saw the men and women of the U.S. intelligence community put their lives on the line every day for this country — and I am appalled at the nomination of Tulsi Gabbard to lead DNI. (1/3)

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

In Russian state television, the debate is whether Tulsi Gabbard should be referred to as "our agent" or as "girlfriend."

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: Republican Senator John Cornyn just announced that he would like the House Ethics Committee to release the findings of the Matt Gaetz investigation. It sure looks like Republicans are going to sink one of Trump’s first nominees.

[Mueller, She Wrote @MuellerSheWrote]

When they offer school “choice” or health care “choice” or social security “choice” or Veterans “choice”- that’s privatization. You pay taxes, and instead of giving it back to you, Republicans give it to their rich CEO friends. Then they cut CEO taxes.

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

The “Crawl Test”: Autocrats like to make minions crawl.

Gaetz and Gabbard nominations will test Republican senators’ willingness to crawl for Trump.

Should be interesting.

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

Dems have the Senate majority for the next 60-plus days. Use it! Not just to confirm judges. Hold your own pre-confirmation hearings. Foreign Relations on Tulsi Gabbards ties to Russia. Intel Committee onJohn Ratliffe's misconduct on intelligence in Trump's first term. 1/

[Democratic Coalition @TheDemCoalition]

Andy Borowitz nails it 👇

Trump looks like he will take 49.9% of the vote and land at a win margin of about 1.4 percent. That’s not even half the country’s voters who turned out and hardly a mandate for the radical change he is promising.

Also, his popular vote percentage ranks 50th out of 55 elections in history.

Two things keep going through my mind right now.
1) Russian dictator Nikta Khrushchev said on November 18, 1956, "we will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the United States. We will destroy you from within."

2) Volume 5 of the REPUBLICAN Senate Intelligence Committee Report, page 944 - "The Committee's Report clearly shows that Trump and his Campaign were not mere bystanders in this attack - they were active participants."

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

We are already seeing the rationalizing of how we got here and the blaming of the political party that, though flawed, actually reflects multiracial democracy. We must resist this. Voters knew exactly who Trump was and chose him anyway. This is not about the so-called excesses of the left. As the NYT editorial board writes, Trump ran the "most racist, sexist, and xenophobic campaign in modern history." As NYT reporter Lisa Lerer wrote today, "This was a conquering of the nation not by force but with a permission slip. Now, America stands on the precipice of an authoritarian style of governance never before seen in its 248-year history." This is the unsparing truth that we must confront.

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

Anti-Blackness continues to be a powerful force in this country. And anti-Blackness cannot just be attributed to white Americans. The shock about the significant increase in Latinos choosing Trump, with his anti-immigrant rhetoric, family separation policy, and insults of Latin countries, over a Black woman tells me too many people fail to understand that anti-Blackness is deeply embedded in Latino cultures as well and that the interests of those who are part of that very large, multiracial, multi-nationality Latino category are not and not ever been necessarily aligned with those of Black people simply because many white Americans do not consider them to be white. This is why, as I argued in my essay on the colorblindness scam, that we must stop lumping all non-white people into a single "of color" group.

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

He will go down as one of the few truly terrible decisions of the Biden administration.

Willfully—if grudgingly—going down the dark road war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu took America down will be another.

All those non-lawyers who assured us Garland had a plan should be ashamed.

[Critter @asclepiasyriaca]

Seniors voted to gut Social Security.

Men voted for their wives and daughters to die from miscarriages.

Immigrants voted for deportation raids.

Poor people voted for tax cuts for billionaires.

Women voted to have fewer rights than men.

Police voted for a convicted felon.
