MAD HADLEY A longtime defender of despicable men must do community service at a legal aid clinic for women-in-need with her estranged uber-feminist mother or lose her license, her career, and quite possibly the only family she's got left. #screenpit #co #pi #SeRe

[Mark Hamill @MarkHamill]

One off night doesn't change the fact that @JoeBiden is the most legislatively successful @POTUS in our lifetime. One off night also doesn't change the fact that the former guy is a convicted felon, serial liar & adjudicated rapist who is unfit for ANY office. Period.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

.@morningmika hitting the nail on the head on @Morning_Joe right now. Biden had a truly bad night. But she says she's not ready to give up on him because she believes in him as a president & a human being. Same here.

[Nancy Pelosi @TeamPelosi]

I tore up the former president’s State of the Union address because it was a manifesto of lies. Tonight he presented another pack of lies which along, with his candidacy, must be rejected. How dare he place the blame for January 6th on anyone but himself, the inciter of an insurrection?

[Jack Hopkins @thejackhopkins]

Here's the takeaway from tonight: The United States of America allows convicted felons who have been charged with crimes against the United States to debate the President of the United States...and lie without being fact-checked.

To those of you in other countries around the world, I say this: I'm fucking embarrassed.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

Although the Mifepristone case looks like it will be dismissed on legal grounds, no standing, as it should be, it's hard to avoid the conclusion SCOTUS is like the dog that has caught the car & having ended women's rights to abortion has now realized there are serious political consequences if they chew up what's left of the upholstery too.

Please remember: the reason that Republicans focus on 15 weeks vs 12 weeks vs 6 weeks is because it's a lot easier than talking about raped children and cancer patients being denied care, and women going septic

Democrats can change the rules, just as they did for Senate attire, on a majority vote. Republicans abuse rules, thwart democracy and hobble our government because Democrats allow them to. https://t.co/helpZvvcDh

If they gave a quarter of that annually to every person who they will incarcerate here they’d probably eliminate most of the crime. But that’s not really the point, is it.

No no no no no no no!!! #goblue

[Jen 'now @jenrubin9' Rubin @JRubinBlogger]

The reckless, unfounded impeachment and shutdown are a test for the mainstream political media; Will they avoid both siderism and place Rs under a microscope. I hope I'm wrong but I doubt it.

[Judd Legum @JuddLegum]

1. Wisconsin Republicans have rigged the state legislature by creating maps that make it impossible for Democrats to win

These maps are blatantly illegal

And the Wisconsin Supreme Court is poised to strike them down

So, Wisconsin Republicans are planning to rig the court

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

So, President Biden traveled 7200+ miles, went to the G20 & met with leaders from 20+ countries, then traveled to Vietnam where he met with their head of state & gave a detailed press conference & the media STILL wants to talk about his age? Give me a break. This is SO tiring.

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

This stinks to high heaven. We need the IRS and the Justice Department to investigate. It looks like tax offenses, criminal ones, not to mention the sheer corruption. Leonard Leo and Ginni Thomas are despicable.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

Raising more questions about Ginni Thomas...

[Jodi Lustig @The_Jodi]

The corruption runs deep!

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

It’s now clear that Leonard Leo, Ginni Thomas and Harlan Crow conspired in the wake of Citizens United, where Justice Clarence Thomas cast a decisive vote, to unleash over a billion dollars to reshape the judiciary in the mold of the Federalist Society.

The result is now an extreme right-wing Supreme Court that has overturned abortion rights, environmental law, and affirmative action. And they are far from done.

Citizens United must be overturned, by constitutional amendment if necessary. And we must hold justices to account for their corrupt acceptance of lavish gifts and demand their recusal in case involving or helping out their buddies.

This is a cancer that will otherwise consume our Republic.

[Amanda Deibert @amandadeibert]

Feed children always. Period.

[Jen 'now @jenrubin9' Rubin @JRubinBlogger]

even if you think polling is somewhat reliable, there’s no evidence that polling more than a year (or even eight months) before a presidential. So what is the point of filling newscasts and newspapers with what amounts to white noise? https://t.co/UT0f7bLGjK

[Jodi Lustig @The_Jodi]

@elonmusk @imPenny2x @ADL I can't believe this man believes this bull. Rich doesn't make you smart.

[David Corn @DavidCornDC]

Yeah, it’s the Jews, @elonmusk. Nothing to do with the rise of hate speech, the drop in trustworthiness of blue check marks, or other moves you’ve paid to lower user satisfaction. Blame the Jews.
