"Paying taxes is not a form of noblesse oblige, and the social safety net is not a philanthropic project. This nation’s prosperity is a collective achievement, and Americans are entitled to share in that prosperity." https://t.co/WjJCwoGJaf

"[Tucker] Carlson doesn’t object to the state harassing people or exercising undue power. He delights in it, as long as the state is harassing the people he hates," @GrahamDavidA writes: https://t.co/64sCxOpElw

Army Lt. Nazario was driving his new car home. He was pulled over, pepper sprayed, and arrested without explanation.

This is racism. It’s about the domination and humiliation of a Black man because he asked questions and “didn’t comply.”

House impeachment managers are bending over backwards to let Republicans separate themselves from Trump’s worst behavior and Republicans are totally uninterested

Fox will do anything to prevent its audience from seeing the truth.

"Complaints that it would be “divisive” for Democrats to pass a relief bill on a party-line vote...are also pretty rich coming from a party that did exactly that in 2017, when it enacted a large tax cut..." https://t.co/xtlgGnI1zr

I've said this before, but if you think the costs of doing something about climate change are high, wait till you see how much it costs us to do nothing!

“The juxtapositions say it all: auditioning for a Fox News contributorship while stiffing the press corps; basking in the soft questions of “Hannity” instead of the real questions of the WH press corps; ducking out of town instead of finishing the job.” https://t.co/AiP6m4JVxG

"Refusing to hold your own side accountable for its abuses — on the grounds that your opponents are trying to exploit the shame of those abuses — is a rationale for supporting every terrible thing your side does. Which is exactly the Republican strategy under Trump."

[Jonathan Chait @jonathanchait]

Ben Shapiro's hilariously backward logic for opposing impeachment https://t.co/9hndX0p4Im

[Dave Wasserman @Redistrict]

True story: the day before the election, House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy told me that if Trump refused to concede, he and McConnell would eventually have to come out and issue a joint statement acknowledging the result.

In the end, McCarthy left McConnell twisting in the wind.

“America under Trump became less free, less equal, more divided, more alone, deeper in debt, swampier, dirtier, meaner, sicker, and deader,” George Packer writes. “It also became more delusional.” https://t.co/MFxy4McPCB

[Team Katie @TeamKatiePorter]

The same McConnell who said that President Trump is “100% within his rights” to pursue baseless lawsuits alleging election fraud is now refusing to pass urgently-needed relief unless it strips those same rights from the most vulnerable among us. This must be exposed. (5/5)
