First world problem, but @Avis sucks at MSP. I flew into terminal 2 and went all the way out to the terminal 2 rental car lot to find that the car they reserved for me is in terminal 1, which is a long walk, a light rail ride and a shuttle away.
Watching the Tennessee GOP throw out the Tennessee 3 . During the debate one thing is totally clear. It is a bunch of white men trying to put 2 African American men and a woman In”their place” They want all Democrats and Tennessee citizens to understand. Know your place. The Tennessee House is ran by rich white Republicans. How dare anyone think they or the citizens of Tennessee have any right to be heard. The GOP is in charge. And they want you to STFU.
WATCH: “Rep. Justin Lafferty pushed me and stole my phone—battery is a felony offense.”
After Rep. Lafferty (R-Knoxville) assaulted @brotherjones_ on the house floor, Jones & @JRClemmons ask Speaker @CSexton25 to act.
Will he be expelled too? All the Tennessee 3 did was speak.
@BarackObama “There has been no House members who have ever been expelled for exercising their first amendment right to peaceful protest. This is a first in American history. And we are losing our democracy.”
Representative @JustinJPearson#TennesseeThree#Tennessee3
Shout out to Rep Charlie Baum of Murfreesboro who was the ONLY Republican to vote ‘No’ on each expulsion. Baum is an economics professor at Middle Tennessee State University.

NEW: Caught up with @VoteGloriaJ at the end of last night’s session.
“I think there’s a good indication of what happened here. I don’t think there’s a question. Those two young Black men were spoken to in a different manner than I was” #TenneseeThree#Tennessee#Tennessee3
What happened in Tennessee is the latest example of a broader erosion of civility and democratic norms. Silencing those who disagree with us is a sign of weakness, not strength, and it won’t lead to progress.
Rep. Justin Lafferty should be charged with assault and removed from the legislative body for violence. The legislative TN body should not be trying to remove elected leaders but making it safer for our kids to go to school.
Today was a sad day for our country. I can easily see this happening in Texas. We are fighting a new war against Fascism. and Rep Justin Lafferty needs to be charged with assault.
@CSexton25 A strong Speaker would have called everyone together and managed to tamp down the temperature in the House, especially since one of “your own” shoved Rep. Jones last night. A strong Speaker could have cooled things down. Too bad you aren’t a strong Speaker.
NEW POLL: Majorities of Americans think the Supreme Court overturning Roe was politically motivated — and say they're more likely to vote for a candidate this fall who will restore abortion rights.

I’ll say it again until it sticks, John Cornyn tweeting to President Obama about the idea of segregation coming back, Mary Miller praising white life, Paul Gosar speaking at KKK events, GQP voter suppression, Madison Cawthorn idolizing Hitler aren’t slips or mistakes, it is them.
