Graham Platner’s history of sexual assault proves he does not belong in the US Senate. He belongs on the Supreme Court.

[Sen. Tammy Baldwin @SenatorBaldwin]

Homosexuality has a place in America — and the Senate. 👋

Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

[Seth @fiercepatricks]

Dear Homophobes, without you,
LGBTQIA+ Pride would have never happened.
So enjoy Pride Month, because you've earned it.

[Talking Points Memo @TPM]

The Roberts Court's unique ability to be nakedly partisan and thin-skinned about it mirrors the Trumpian attitude of the current era: We will behave with impunity, and we don't want to hear a peep from you about it. https://t.co/Hc8SaAowSS

If you're a service member being ordered to prep for deployment for the War in Iran and you have moral and/or ethical misgivings on all this, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status.

Call the G.I. Rights hotline: [phone]

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

RAINN, the country's most well-known rape and sex abuse survivor crisis hotline, has put even more restrictions on helping trans people and migrants -- basically pretending we don't exist.

"Staff and volunteers who answer phone calls, online chats and texts have been told not to make referrals to organizations that help immigrants and LGBTQ+ people — who are at disproportionately higher risk of experiencing sexual violence."

Every senator and member of Congress should immediately and voluntarily disclose any stock, bond, or similar trades they have made in the last ten days.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

👀 You have got to be kidding me.

[Congresswoman Sarah McBride @Rep_McBride]

I appear to live rent free in the minds of some of my Republican colleagues.

I wish that they would spend even a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me, thinking about how to lower costs for American families.

[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]

People are saying that Trump is the VP and Elon is the President. But that’s not accurate. Trump is more like Press Secretary.

Trump is the mouth.
Elon is the muscle.

[Ben Wikler @benwikler]

If we’re going to take on Trump, Republican extremists, and move our country forward, the Democratic Party needs to be stronger. I'm running for Chair of the Democratic National Committee to unite the party, fight everywhere, and win. Join me. 🧵

Sarah McBride: "It is an attempt to distract ... Every single time we hear them say the word 'trans,' look what they're doing with their right hand. Look at what they're doing to pick the pocket of American workers, to fleece seniors by privatizing Social Security and Medicare."

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Sarah McBride: "I worried that the heart of this country wasn't big enough to support someone like me. And over the last decade, I have been able to bear witness to change that once seemed so impossible to me as a kid that it was almost incomprehensible ... I carry that with me."

[Scottie Thomaston @indiemcemopants]

@SarahEMcBride I support you 100% always.

[Rep. Gwen Moore @RepGwenMoore]

So glad to welcome Congresswoman-elect Sarah McBride to Congress!

The people of Delaware have chosen a real fighter. Looking forward to working alongside her on the issues that matter.

[Sarah McBride @SarahEMcBride]

Every day Americans go to work with people who have life journeys different than their own and engage with them respectfully, I hope members of Congress can muster that same kindness.

[Tony Cani @tcani]

CALLING ALL DEM PARTY LEADERS:
there are a number of accounts purporting to be Dems that are starting to push ridiculous election conspiracy theories on this hellhole of a social network

GOP leaders refused to confront their folks doing this.

We can't make the same mistake.

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

Shout out to election workers! Thank you all, whatever your politics.

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

I have been briefed on reports of gunshots fired near former President Trump and his property in Florida, and I am glad he is safe. Violence has no place in America.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Q: Do you denounce the bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio?

Trump: I don’t know what happened with the bomb threats. I know that it’s been taken over by illegal migrants
