A criminally indicted former president is bad enough; a Republican Party that defends his hypocrisy, recklessness and cruel disregard for the Republic’s security and rule of law takes the pathology that infects our political system to a whole new level.
This case fills me with such a pervasive sadness. That a president would do what Trump did and that his party would continue to support him should be unthinkable.
Scary to live in a country where an obvious criminal who literally & publicly brags about his crimes can, years later, face the prospect of perhaps paying some fines even more years later.
Thank you. Cuz the top two defining characteristics of teenagers are solid impulse control and really good long-term judgment. Perfect for a gun with immediate and forever consequences.
As the interview ends, Jake Tapper, as ever, is eloquently summarizing how dishonest and racist and crass Trump was and how the audience laughed along.
The question then is: why did CNN give him a platform to do all that?

I've been proud to stand in support of LGBTQ+ kids across Washington for years now, and this session is no different. It's crucial that we allow trans kids to express themselves in safe, supportive communities. #SB5599 is a step towards that goal. #BornPerfect#WALeg
Lamont Bagby put the interests of the Democratic Party above his own when he stepped aside to allow @JennMcClellanVA to become the 1st African American woman to go to Congress from VA. Now I am asking you to join me in sending Lamont to the Senate to help fortify our brick wall.

Hey, everyone: This is pretty big.
The Daily Caller (ugh) has memos from the Florida DOE suggesting they were influencing @CollegeBoard on the AP African-American Studies curriculum as early as January 2022, and at the very minimum, July 2022.
I have been the last thing standing between Glenn Youngkin and his attempts to roll back abortion rights.
Now I need your help.
The entire Virginia Senate is up this November, please RETWEET and help build my following so we can fight back when Youngkin attempts to defeat us!
When I became a State Senator I spent 28 years working to challenge every way of thinking that held Black Women back until I became President Pro Tempore of the body in 2020.
Glenn Youngkin doesn’t know who he is up against. Retweet this and let him know.

If you only watch 1 thing tonight, please watch this rather chilling video that my producer, the great & powerful Ivy Green made, putting Trump's lying pro-terror words on Fox over images of the actual violence from January 6th.

I mean, the man spent his entire life squandering an inheritance through recklessness and hubris and ignorance, repeatedly bankrupting business after business. This is all exactly what one would expect!
