I've always said when I run for political office, I will be: (1) pro-puppies; (2) anti-Nazi; (3) anti-child molester. I never thought any of those stances would actually be partisan or set me apart from another US political party. My how times have changed.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

@BillAckman I get that you think markets should only work in your favor, but saving up to buy a brownstone with rent stabilized tenants is a terrible financial decision.

[sam @sam_d_1995]

it should probably be a bigger story that there was a normal bipartisan America 250 organization but then Trump decided to launch his own competing right wing grift version and ruined everything

[Brian Stelter @brianstelter]

A rare on-air apology by Fox News, seemingly in response to legal threats from people who were attacked by Kevin O'Leary...

@CharlesGrooms @RandPaul Hahaha, Tulsi would never risk touching the lariat of truth.

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

Elias's comparison is the one worth sitting with. When Bill Clinton briefly boarded Loretta Lynch's plane on a Phoenix tarmac in 2016 and they talked about grandchildren and golf - no documented request, no documented outcome, a conversation - the media treated it as a scandal that required weeks of coverage. Trump stood at a podium in Pennsylvania, described personally calling a federal prosecutor to investigate an election while his preferred candidate was losing, and the Pennsylvania federal prosecutor was sitting in the audience being publicly thanked. Elias: none of the reporters present found this worthy of a question.

The normalization that allows that to happen is not benign. When the president describes using the federal prosecution apparatus to intervene in a state election and it registers as a moment of rally color rather than a constitutional question, the mechanism that would otherwise produce accountability has been eroded. That erosion is itself the story underneath the story.

Much easier to be a businessman when your dad is President and negotiates highly lucrative *and exclusive mining rights* on your behalf. Even more helpful when the media gives stuff like this less attention than Hunter Biden's art exhibit. 🙃

[Will of the People @WNewsom]

Well, I guess we know the first pardons the next president will issue.

[LPC @landpalestine]

BREAKING: 8 people have been sentenced combined 450 years in prison for peacefully protesting outside ICE Facility

More years than any American has been sentenced over the Epstein Files

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

This is so shitty and unnecessary

[sam @sam_d_1995]

if you live in SF, you really should vote for Scott Wiener

don’t let these unhinged NIMBYs win

[Will of the People @WNewsom]

I always wonder if assholes like this are really "leftists", or if it's just a republican plant trying to sow discord amongst dems. Same result either way.

[Dimitry Yakoushkin @decadimitry]

Scott Wiener showed up to the trans march and for the first time we kicked his ass out. It's sad because while he's written some good legislation for queers, hes ultimately a genocidal-supporting center right shill. Trigger warning: broken man walking away defeated. Vote Connie!

[Will of the People @WNewsom]

@ibflorea Don't sleep on Doue, either. Kid's 21 and could turn in a Dembele-like performance in the next match. They have fathoms of depth up front.

[Will of the People @WNewsom]

@bznotes So long as we are a free society with rights to move to another state, this will continue to be a very dumb idea.

[Will of the People @WNewsom]

Calling Trump's deal "objectively worse" than the JCPOA is like calling multiple gun shot wounds to the chest "objectively worse" than a hangnail. The surrender of Versailles is one of the worst deals in history.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

Iran stands to make up to $450 billion off a potential peace deal.

Trump has already committed to an $18 billion upfront windfall before the deal is even finalized.

While full details are TBD, the proposal is objectively worse than Obama's JCPOA.

I’m sorry, what?

An RNC fundraiser? At the White House??????

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

An American just got sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for moving “Antifa” zines and there’s about 1000x as much media coverage of Trump’s reflecting pool 👍

[James Medlock @jdcmedlock]

Lee Kuan Yew was so real for this

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Trump appointed, 52 Republicans voted to confirm.
