Your reminder that Lindsey Graham, along with Mike Crapo, Chuck Grassley, Jerry Moran, Mitch McConnell, John Thune and Roger Wicker, voted to convict Bill Clinton for lying about an affair - but acquitted Trump for attempting a coup.

@JakeSherman Could have held the paper up showing the date 🤷‍♀️

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.

A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”

That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.

I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.

The strait was open before Trump started his war.

Iran was abiding by Obama’s deal before Trump tore it up.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

This! @davidaxelrod is exactly right. Time for pro-democratic forces in the US, including Republicans, to act. We just celebrated the 250th anniversary of the birth of our democracy. Not a time to let the ideals of the Declaration of Independence be undermined.

@StevenCheung47 And your credentials?

Joy Behar: “Democratic Socialism, which is really just a buzzword for democracy and affordability. They have bastardized the word. Now they’re calling people commies. It is the sign of a sinking ship. The Republicans are going down the toilet and they know it so they’re pulling out these stupid cards like calling Democrats communists. Give me a break”

25th Amendment right fucking NOW.

Studies now present a striking picture of what happens when private equity firms acquire hospitals and nursing homes: predictable increases in harm and deaths. One landmark study shows: patient deaths up about 11% after such acquisitions.

@EllenBarkin @JDunlap1974 Oh no., 😱

@covie_93 And some may be government employees.

@azsweetheart013 Absolutely. They are my peeps 🤗

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

I’ve spoken with Major Jason Watson. He knew exactly what this would cost him.

He gave up his military career to take a brave stand for democracy. History tends to remember people who risk everything for their principles, not the people demanding blind obedience.

Patriotism that only works with obedience isn’t patriotism.

[𝔗𝔯𝔲𝔱𝔥 𝔐𝔞𝔱𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔰 @politicsusa46]

So what exactly does patriotism look like 250 years on from the founding of a nation? I think John Cena said it best.

One thing it’s not for sure is to encourage division and tribalism. Racism, misogyny and homophobia sure as hell isn’t patriotism.

It’s time to make America care again, only then can the land of the free deliver true freedom to its citizens.

My statement on America at 250 and the state of the country:

[Liz Oyer @lawyeroyer]

As Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche fired me for doing my job, then subjected me and my family to months of retaliation. My story is one of many reasons the Senate should not confirm Blanche again. Read and share my letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee. https://t.co/g8bFrhZ9Dg

[Gina Hinojosa @GinaHinojosaTX]

Greg Abbott just appointed Huffines, the owner of the Epstein ranch & his party's nominee, to be TX Comptroller.

Why? So YOU pay for Huffines’ campaign. Last year, Abbott signed SB2, that lets the Comptroller spend your tax $$ on self-advertising as an exception to Govt Code Sec. 2113.011, which bans an agency from using “appropriated money to publicize or direct attention to an individual officer or employee of state government.”

I fought against allowing these taxpayer-funded campaign ads, because I saw it for exactly what it was: corruption.

It’s the Greg Abbott Corruption Tax, & we're all paying it.

@JenniferJJacobs @JakeMRosen @USAttyPirro All that these clowns are achieving with this nonsense is to make more people angrier at this administration.

[J 🎙️ @blackhawkce457]

Keeping Mitch McConnell in office until he is apparently now in hospice, to specifically obstruct the will of the American people….represents just how dirty American politics have become.

You can’t fight fair with those that are willing to take whatever means necessary to win.

@ToddScoullar Let it go man.
