@MeghanMcCain Seems like this might be a good idea before they nominate that ham sandwich of yours.

@LMetzfan08 @MeghanMcCain Women are going to continue voting, no matter how impossible Republicans try to make it (which is a primary goal of the Save Act). Trump himself pointed out that if every American who was eligible to vote actually did so, Republicans would never win another election.

@EllieDnHarlem @allenanalysis We had the best economy in the developed world (said The Economist), but the tariffs are driving that ship straight into the iceberg and costing American households literally thousands. Trump cultists don’t care one bit, because they’re still the easiest marks on the planet.

@Gypsy_4_ @elonmusk @TeslaBoomerMama Democrats = Better health care. Better education. ("There" states?) A less exploitable populace, except that we keep funding the reds. If a national divorce would work, my blue state of California (the fifth largest economy in the world) would jump at it. You'd miss us.

@elonmusk @TeslaBoomerMama Donor Republicans, including Musk, have been playing us all for chumps for decades. They want cheap immigrant labor as much as anyone. But they also want in issue to run on. Witness Trump blowing up the bipartisan border bill. It's a win-win for them, but you shouldn't be fooled.

Given that Elon's deleting accounts which haven't been used for a while, which certainly includes this one...here, have a tweet! I doubt I'll return, but I'd also rather not have who knows what bad actor using my handle down the road as Twitter continues its Muskian death spiral.

@RaihlWraihl #rememberthedixiechicks...ha, funny you should mention it. Just pulled out "Not Ready To Make Nice" the other day, and I gotta say it speaks to precisely how much Taylor Swift cares how much more of her music you buy. That song will outlive us both.

[Ethan Straffin @ethanstraffin]

@JerryTravone Nice work, but I'd say we need to take the metaphor to its logical conclusion.

That was just insanely, ridonkulously good. #assemble

AVENGERS IN THREE HOURS AAAAHHHHHHH #ASSEMBLE #NECESSARYCAPSLOCK

Just sneaked in to watch cabin in the woods until the avengers starts

Pretty sure the collective Republican subconscious is throwing this election, but what the hell do I know. (No really.)

@Truebe Are many live penguins out of the question for your next Linux-oriented meeting? Drat.

It's been a while since my last legalization rant. Figured it was time. http://t.co/lCUHclpc #stopthedrugwar

Just noticed that I tend to type two spaces between sentences when using a fixed-width font, but one when using proportional. Weird.

Reactions to tomorrow’s major #prop8 ruling? Use #free2marry and show why no one should be denied #equality. Pls RT! @AFER for updates.

"Global warming hoax"? So Santorum doesn't just suspect a majority of scientists are fabricating: he's sure of it.

If a form of music is going to save humanity, I figure it'll have to be synthpop. Or maybe prog. Or country. Actually most music will help.
