“My whole soul is in this.” @POTUS, you had us at SOUL, and we love having @VP and @FLOTUS as a part of our Soul Fam. If you all are in need of (security-approved) bikes, we can customize the @soulcycle at-home bike to fit your needs—and deliver them to your new digs in a week.

@CharlesFurtick @SherrysDrunk @JimGaffigan It is not legal anywhere in our country to abort in the third trimester by choice as you are suggesting, nor is anyone suggesting that it should be. On social issues I’m about as left as they come and this is not a point you & I, or Trump & Biden disagree on.

@Wayneborowski2 @JimGaffigan This notion that anyone, whether famous or not, should only be able to talk about certain things, is antithetical to the entire premise of our nation. Freedom of speech is literally the first right our forefathers felt compelled to explicitly protect in our constitution.

[Katie Tobias @katitobi]

@Wayneborowski2 @JimGaffigan Wealth and fame aren’t what give anyone the right to express their opinion, it’s our first amendment—the same thing that gives you the freedom to express your opinion that you don’t like what Jim Gaffigan had to say here and me the right to wholeheartedly agree with him.

@BeverlyMercede1 @aravosis There is a 30% false negative rate, so this experience is unfortunately not atypical

Enough.

@verizonfios this is literally your super bowl, if my HBO keeps pausing to buffer the entire #GOT premier I’m going to have to pull a Ned Stark on your service once and for all. #nottonightpleeeeease

@colbertlateshow @staceyabrams (3/3) been negotiated by their people in advance (I.e. if something he couldn’t ask about, that would have been in their agreement; if the show was unwilling to make that concession she would have had the choice to not go on & no longer get the media coverage for her new book).

[Katie Tobias @katitobi]

@colbertlateshow @staceyabrams (2/3) She was a great sport and I think it’s tremendous that she’s proud of all of her work, romance novels included. I also think construing this as a consent issue is inappropriate—their on air exchange is lighthearted and any real requirements re: her appearance would have...

@colbertlateshow @staceyabrams (1/3) I love Stacey Abrams and am a fan of Stephen Colbert and couldn’t disagree more with how this clip is being portrayed. It’s a comedy show so of course he’s going to go for humor and poke fun at her; he does do with all of his guests.

@RudderRichard @Dave_Sextyn @40EA @CuomoPrimeTime @CNN @ChrisCuomo @JohnKasich Also worth noting I’ve seen other sources that put our consistent historic % of foreign born US residents at 12-15%, with the exception of 1925-1965 (I.e. we’re not changing, this has always been a key part of our country’s identity). Here’s one: https://t.co/QZFy0TCJoS

@RudderRichard @Dave_Sextyn @40EA @CuomoPrimeTime @CNN @ChrisCuomo @JohnKasich Converting to % basis based on population, appears we are a bit higher than, but on par with our European allies (makes sense given our southern border makes seeking asylum here more accessible and also that immigration has always been a key piece of our nation’s identity).

[Katie Tobias @katitobi]

@Dave_Sextyn @RudderRichard @40EA @CuomoPrimeTime @CNN @ChrisCuomo @JohnKasich Where I feel things get out of control is when ppl in power use fear + dishonesty (videos implying all immigrants are criminals, rapists, etc to try to push their agenda on the above. Those tactics & content ARE racist. It takes what should be a political debate to an ugly level.

[Katie Tobias @katitobi]

@Dave_Sextyn @RudderRichard @40EA @CuomoPrimeTime @CNN @ChrisCuomo @JohnKasich My take: 1) nobody is championing illegal imm., 2) nobody thinks anyone is racist simply for wanting imm. reform. Both Dems & Reps want reform, we just have different views on what that means (dreamers, family spons, etc)—things which I believe we can find middle ground on!

@Chip82savage @craftykwan @check3lijah @realDonaldTrump Have a separate career, the teaching is on a volunteer basis. Here’s a novel idea—if you’d like to see immigrants speaking better English, you could volunteer to teach them too. Happy to tell you more about my program—they’re always looking for more teachers!

[Katie Tobias @katitobi]

@Chip82savage @check3lijah @realDonaldTrump I.e. just because someone doesn’t speak English well today doesn’t mean they aren’t trying to learn—I have ppl in their 70s in my class trying to learn!

[Katie Tobias @katitobi]

@Chip82savage @check3lijah @realDonaldTrump This is simply not true—I teach an English class for immigrants (one of many taught all over NYC by volunteers) and immigrants of all ages come every week, many after working multiple jobs. They are intrepid, hard working ppl—just like those that came before them (our ancestors!)
