Fourth incarnation as a philosopher-poet (prev military/engr/teacher). Engaging those whose moral compass keeps spinning or points in the wrong direction.

[Steven Beschloss @StevenBeschloss]

Until these last four years, I didn’t fully grasp how important shame is as a civilizing force—or that the utter inability of a sociopath to experience shame can infect an entire party.

Wyoming is 92% white.

California is 37% white.

A Wyoming voter has nearly 4x more influence than a California voter.

The Electoral College is racist. It must be abolished.

Dems, please keep reminding all Americans that House compromise on the amount of relief CANNOT compromise on our deaths. This has been McConnell's "poison pill" all along.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

If you want to know why COVID relief is tied up in Congress, one key reason is that Republicans are demanding legal immunity for corporations so they can expose their workers to COVID without repercussions.

Dems don’t want you to die for a check. That’s what we’re fighting over.

Today:
*Stock market hit record high of 30,000
*Elon Musk became first person to gain $100B in 1 year. 400 richest people got $1.3T richer in pandemic
*Record 155,000 infections & record 85,000 hospitalizations
*Census: 6 million people face imminent eviction

God Bless America

And the Supreme Court majority of Constitutional originalists would be willing to accept that three-fifths argument. 👇

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

Trump and @GOP are now saying that the votes of largely black voters in Detroit, Philly and Atlanta should be thrown out. Their votes shouldn't count the same as rest of us. Are we that far from them saying that maybe only 3/5 of the black vote should count? They're disgusting.

[Steven Beschloss @StevenBeschloss]

A sociopath lacks conscience and doesn’t experience shame. I didn’t know until Trump that a sociopath’s absence of shame is contagious.

[Ted @trom771]

One senator from Kentucky has made the other 99 senators spend most of the last 4 years doing nothing but voting on unqualified judges. I dare anyone to find someone who's caused more damage to all 3 branches of our government than Mitch McConnell.

[George Sudikatus @georgesuds]

Man-baby Trump continues to search for a small win wherever he can find it. 👇

[Jason Overstreet @JasonOverstreet]

Thank you for being proactive and not being like so many people who told me yesterday that we just have to put all of our trust in Joe Biden. And that things will magically work out. That’s not how it works. They must all pay for their crimes. And we need to be proactive about it

[Tony Schwartz @tonyschwartz]

I say this in all seriousness: Trump should be arrested for treason immediately and escorted out of the White House.

[George Sudikatus @georgesuds]

Let's do it! 👏👏👏

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

With a single order, the Biden-Harris administration can padlock the revolving door between government and industry, reduce the influence of lobbyists, and eliminate conflicts of interest—setting the strongest-ever ethics and anti-corruption standards for the executive branch.

Politicians seek credit. Leaders seek results.

Things Trump has packed so far:

- The Courts
- Our Hospitals
- Refrigerated morgue trucks
- His hotels

Things Trump hasn’t packed yet:
- His bags

65 days to go.

[George Sudikatus @georgesuds]

How many will be visited by "the Ghost of Christmas that could have been"?

[Ed Yong is not here @edyong209]

Another way to think about these lags is that some of the people who are infected on Thanksgiving will enter the hospital in the middle of December, and the morgue around Christmas.

[Tony Schwartz @tonyschwartz]

I have zero faith that Republicans, even after Trump is out, are committed to democracy going forward. Lying has worked too well, and they've long since sold their souls.

[George Sudikatus @georgesuds]

Very proud for my alma mater, and following a tradition that included the first black admiral from my class over half a century ago.

A Black woman will lead 4,400 of her peers at the U.S. Naval Academy for the first time in the institution's 175-year history: Midshipman 1st Class Sydney Barber. https://t.co/pnKxYv6CKQ

Whoever made the now notorious Four Seasons boo-boo for #Trump & #Giuliani spawned a marketing bonanza for the Four Seasons Landscaping company, now operating under the motto: "Make America rake again. Lawn and order!"

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Yes, our country is divided. But whenever they're asked, voters of both parties make it clear in overwhelming numbers that they don’t want a government controlled by giant corporations and their lobbyists.

That's one thing we can—and must—unify behind.

[George Sudikatus @georgesuds]

#WarrenDems take the wins without bragging or fanfare, take the losses without being defeated, & keep fighting for the better days to come (no matter how long it takes).
