@schmonikah Hang in there!

Do you have a vegetable garden? I don't even have space to plant, but I went to the hardware store and bought some seed packets and peat pots just to see something grow. It's helping.

@ObedaJonathan @CorryMackinnon @MattBruenig You've never been a landlord, have you? Taking a swindler like Reade to court is a futile effort. You'll waste a lot of money and never get repaid (as other experiences recounted in the article clearly demonstrate).

[I Dream in R @hastingst17]

@elivalley Got any evidence for that?

[I Dream in R @hastingst17]

@Sasha_CA @Robert76910936 @MattBruenig "Hummer gave Reade the horse"

Where are you getting that information?

[I Dream in R @hastingst17]

@kinneret @JLGarsh @MattBruenig Maybe... she shouldn't have gotten a horse if she couldn't pay to feed and keep it??

Just an idea.

[I Dream in R @hastingst17]

@ObedaJonathan @CorryMackinnon @MattBruenig What about the time she left someone else to pay the $1,400 vet bill for the care of her horse?

Seems grifterish.

@murderderder @AliceEvansGruff @MattBruenig They're all very relevant to honesty and trustworthiness.

[I Dream in R @hastingst17]

@MattBruenig Congrats! You've managed to write the single dumbest tweet I've seen about the Tara Reade story.

If Reade is fraudulently sticking other people with the vet bills to care for her horse (!), her problems have nothing to do with being poor.

@CrazyJoeGall0 @RealJamesWoods Frankly, I don't see why anyone would need more reason than that.

@lyta_gold This tweet will not age well.

@salwayshope @ChadPergram What typo?

[I Dream in R @hastingst17]

@RhonnMarney @ETwilbertson @ChadPergram Just over four years ago, Mitch McConnell refused to even consider a very qualified and respected Supreme Court nominee. Even without a pandemic, he didn't see a need to "fill the Judiciary." But now...

@KatGoesIndie @ChadPergram Right. Members of Congress currently live in the real world with the rest of us, and (most of them) understand something about what we're going through.

But you know who doesn't live in that real world? Donald Trump.

@ChadPergram Good thing the Trump folks were on the ball back in January:

FLASHBACK: Trump’s Commerce Secretary @SecretaryRoss in January — "I think Coronavirus will help accelerate the return of jobs to North America." 🤔

@mikedebonis @maggieNYT Saying "oh dear" doesn't sound sincere.

@LizRNC This is the pushback they should show on CNN:

Everyone knows that we're facing a real crisis from the coronavirus. But do you know how we got here and what we need to do next? Ron Klain, former White House Ebola Response Coordinator, breaks it down for us:

@ChadPergram Here's one thing that needs to be part of the final bill:

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

It would be ridiculous to have a $2 TRILLION package and not include $2 BILLION (.1%) so we can be sure Americans can vote in November.

@raymond_anctil @ChadPergram The Democratic-led House passed a coronavirus bill long before the Republican-led Senate took any action at all.

[I Dream in R @hastingst17]

@ChadPergram Give everyone the money and return our tax rates to exactly what they were during the Clinton administration, when we were running a surplus and paying down the national debt.

People who need the money right now will get it and those who don't need it will pay it back in taxes.

@WhoresofYore This is one of those "bottle less than half full" situations.
