@sarahkendzior Proposed Trump epitaph:

He was a dumb man's smart man, a con man's honest man, a poor man's rich man, and a weak man's tough-guy.

@randallharlow Lovely to return here after 1 1/2 yrs away to find amazing folks like @randallharlow releasing lovely things I had some part in making.

This recording was a joy to do & I'm glad some of the space, richness, and sonic inner life (11:50-17:55!) of Randall's playing comes through!

@JohnCornyn This is racist trash. 👆👆👆

@POTUS Now reinstate the assault weapons ban. Sign it this week, executive order.

We have to *flip the script* or nothing will ever happen, like last time & the time before that & the time before...

Citizens can't own tanks or bombs or napalm or nukes and they shouldn't own AR-15s.

You have our solemn word that we will do everything within our power to prevent gorillas from escaping from the unlocked cages.

Which, it goes without saying, will remain unlocked.

@ProjectLincoln He has long since forgotten that his primary obligation is to the Constitution, which makes no mention of political parties.

@kylegriffin1 An *unelected person* controls the policy and voting of behavior of an entire elected political party.

And with the GOP blocking the function of government, this means we're being governed by someone we didn't elect, by someone we specifically removed from office.

[Kevin Ernste @kevinernste]

@AriBerman Who's going to tell him that *he* is a member of the government he claims will "stand behind them to make sure they have a right to vote"?

This is absolutely ludicrous. GOP enacting greatest rollback of voting rights since end of Reconstruction and Manchin & Sinema now complicit for refusing to stop it

“I think the tragedy is that we have a Congress with a Senate that has a minority of misguided senators who will use the filibuster to keep the majority of people from even voting.“ - MLK

59 years later, we are facing the same tragedy.

[Kevin Ernste @kevinernste]

@TheTNHoller In protecting a Senate procedure over voting rights, Manchin and Sinema are choosing the institution over The People it purports to represent.

Comity in Congress is not the goal of government! Their job is to enact the will of The People, not maintain order in a building in DC.

@newtgingrich If you read literally *any* speech by *any* president in US history and any speech by Trump, you'll understand why no one takes your opinion of speeches seriously.

[Newt Gingrich @newtgingrich]

If you read Lincoln’s Second Inaugural and Biden’s speech today you will understand the difference between greatness bringing us together and a mean spirited vicious partisan hack trying to drive a deeper wedge in the country he is supposed to lead.

[Kevin Ernste @kevinernste]

@benshapiro It was an attack on the US Capitol on the day of electoral vote certification, intended to stop the legal casting of votes in order to hold onto power.

That's a coup.

It will never NOT be completely insane to me that Mike Pence wouldn't get in that car on January 6th because he was sure he'd be kidnapped.

@7im Traitors, all of them. The fact that we have not yet charged them with seditious conspiracy is a shame on our country and system of justice.

Jan 6th 2022 will be the anniversary of that failure to act to secure our democracy.
