@ConsensusNLP @ProductHunt So far I am liking it

[Jason Merchey @ValuesOfTheWise]

@TomVMorris That looks extremely classic, I admit. I have a Longines from 1950 that is strinkingly similar (and set me back more than the Timex set you back :)

@TomVMorris Yes I do detest that man, but do have a lot of respect for Kinzinger. I mean we shouldn't have a no-fly zone over Ukraine I don't think, but I've heard Kinzinger talk about his values and it's pretty commendable.

@TomVMorris Dark-hearted individuals, those two!

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

American taxpayers spend $107,575,000,000 more on police than public housing.

Pass it on.

[Jason Merchey @ValuesOfTheWise]

@TomVMorris Hear, hear!

[Jason Merchey @ValuesOfTheWise]

@TomVMorris That is bluntly and fairly put. Gulp.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

.@BernieSanders bowed to the math in acknowledging that @JoeBiden will be the nominee. He used the time today to laud his movement. But if his goal is to defeat @realDonaldTrump, he’ll have to make a more affirmative case for Biden and why his supporters should support him.

@cchavez_ @AOC I assume this means you'll not be applying for unemployment, and if the government sends out a stimulus, you'll rip that check up. Good to hear.

@matthewstoller It’s absolutely crucial that we not repeat the 2008 paradigm of individuals and SMEs (2/3rds is job creation I’m US) getting hung out to dry while a handful of large companies are bailed out

@JarJarBugII @sbg1 @HotlineJosh We liberals, minorities, and institutionalizes have been languishing under this quasi-authoritarian nightmare of a man for nearly four years, and it has been, to use your word, absolute madness. This is a nation of laws, not men.

https://t.co/bkESx6RUW1 Dignity might just be what liberals and moderates need to win in 2020. So say Adam Schiff, E. J. Dionne, and David Leonhardt. @DLeonhardt , @stevealmondjoy , @RepAdamSchiff @BernieSanders @doctorow @People4Bernie @nicolehemmer

In the 34-year history of USA TODAY, the Editorial Board has never taken sides in the presidential race…Until now.

This year, one of the candidates—Republican nominee Donald Trump is by unanimous consensus of the Editorial Board, unfit for the presidency https://t.co/SP3sWVzKfJ

[Windsor Mann @WindsorMann]

Note to Republicans: Trump will do to you what he did to the Kurds.

[Brett McGurk @brett_mcgurk]

Donald Trump is not a Commander-in-Chief. He makes impulsive decisions with no knowledge or deliberation. He sends military personnel into harm’s way with no backing. He blusters and then leaves our allies exposed when adversaries call his bluff or he confronts a hard phone call.

[David Cicilline @davidcicilline]

Just a quick reminder about all the bills Mitch McConnell is still blocking.
