Once and Future Hill Rat. Opinions are my own. Retweets are not endorsements. Unless they are...

You've got to give Trump this much; nobody has done more to bring Nazis and Russians together since Molotov and Ribbentrop in 1939.

The one ex-president who ever tried to make himself a dictator gets caught using America’s most precious national secrets as souvenirs at the “club” any anonymous interloper can “join” for $200,000.

Republicans: HOW DARE YOU STOP HIM?

@fantasy_fool @AriMelber Turn off your TV. The weighty matters will be there tomorrow. You should be listening to #FunkyFriday on @wxpnfm.

They are using the word hostage, but the media will pretend it is difficult to know for sure what’s happening. Can’t we at least observe their actions and listen to their words, and describe it in plain language?

[John Richards @TioJuanDC]

Brown might not get four votes on the current Court…

[Jake Tapper 🦅 @jaketapper]

OTD in 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled against racial segregation in public schools in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

But what I know moms everywhere would really like is an assault weapons ban so they can send their children to school without worrying whether they’ll ever see them again.

Today would be an excellent day to hear directly from Chief Justice Roberts. It is not some violation of the separation of powers to ask him to defend the basic question: Why does the highest court have the lowest standards?

[Kevin Ahern @kevin_ahern]

The American Catholic Church needs to reckon with a faith culture that sees no problem in being “a devout Catholic with a love for guns” -

[John Richards @TioJuanDC]

@MattMcGovern A particularly hard sentence for you to type, I’d think…

[John Richards @TioJuanDC]

@fantasy_fool I’m watching that with the sound down, but “Kung Fu Fighting” is playing in the bar where I am, and it kind of works…

[Senate Banking and Housing Democrats @SenateBanking]

Last year's Super Bowl was filled with crypto ads.

@SenSherrodBrown warned people about the risks, scams, and fraud.

This Sunday, after the industry lost billions of dollars and left many Americans high and dry, there won't be a single crypto ad.

retweet this 1,000 times

[Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren]

No. The problem is not that the working-class got a $1,400 direct payment 19 months ago and the dude at Arby's got a 50 cent raise a year ago. The problem is that corporations are making record profits by jacking up the price of everything. The problem is corporate greed, boss.

[Patton Oswalt @pattonoswalt]

Mick Jagger “played a role” in The Rolling Stones’ songs.

[Joe Conason @JoeConason]

Oh, and here's a little footnote, @tedcruz: We know you and Heidi haul in a *bare minimum* of $500K annually from Goldman and Congress. You're in the 1%!
Those "rich liberals" on the Vineyard earn $77K on average, according to the 2020 Census. So fuck your phony populism too.

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

This is a big deal.

Senate Democrats passed and President Biden signed the CHIPS and Science Act and more – and FINALLY communities passed over for far too long are getting the major investments they deserve.

Gonna keep saying it forever. Allowing Trump to keep holding rallies after January 6th is like letting bin Laden open a chain of flight schools after 9/11.
