One of the VERY FIRST things done after the Constitutional Convention in 1787 was to have the text of the new Constitution translated into Dutch and German, which were at the time the two largest non-English language spoken in the United States.

I’d like to think we’re not yet actually a Third World country, though we do have a cartoonishly Third World “leader”.

What a truly evil way to treat people who risked their lives for the United States

Its insane some rightists have taken up anti-flight from parts of the degrowth left

There are definitely places it can be replaced by HSR, and its fuel made more efficient, but flight is incredible! One of the best parts of the modern world! We're never getting rid of that!

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

An absolute insane person. My god.

Pam Bondi is a corrupt swamp creature. She tried to use the murder of our friends at Pulse Nightclub to sanitize her record. She sold her soul for this morally bankrupt president over and over again.

Pam Bondi is having the kind of day she deserves. Goodbye.

Tim Miller with a message to Democrats: "This is the moment to go on Fox and say to people, 'you signed up for this—for no new wars, for lower costs. And we're in the stupidest war I could possibly think of, and everything is costing more, and it's about to get worse.'"

GREAT night last night. At the @cookcodems we had our best win record in recent history, winning 21 of 22 races! So proud of all our great candidates - and for our Chair & President Preckwinkle for her nearly 40-point win! Thanks to everyone who helped and voted #DemApproved!

DHS spent today replying to individual tweets saying they left this man in a coffee shop "determined to be a warm, safe location" only for video to emerge tonight showing it was the middle of the night, cold and the coffee shop was closed.

One Texas congressman, Al Green (Dem.), holds up a sign at the State of the Union. Republicans: Censure!

Another Texas congressman, Tony Gonzales (Rep.), sexually harasses a staffer who then commits suicide.
Republicans: Crickets.

JUST IN: On Washington's bday, Judge Cynthia Rufe (GWBush) cites Orwell's 1984 as she orders Trump admin to restore slavery-focused panels at site of Washington's Philly house. Feds "wiping away the history of the greatest Founding Father’s management of persons he held in bondage." Doc: https://t.co/HIVsWUtFU4

15% of the population of Ireland entered the US between 1851 and 1860

6% of the population of Italy entered the US from about 1900-1910

.@BarackObama: "When I was president, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor there or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

We have lawless thugs in charge of our government

[Dan Pfeiffer @danpfeiffer]

This is an unfathomably large conflict of interest. Probably the largest one for a President in history.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

This is psychotic behavior from the White House Twitter account.

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

We haven't been told what government agents MURDERED ALEX PRETTI IN THE STREET. But the FBI has arrested the real danger, Don Lemon, for livestreaming against the regime.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Yet another incident where the government is lying about what we can all see on video:

Lemon calmly walking into the church and interviewing not only protesters but the pastor and others, who had no problem with him whatsoever.
