Congress voted 420-0 to release the full Mueller report. Not a "summary" from his handpicked Attorney General. AG Barr, make the full report public. Immediately.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

In order for us to heal as a nation, we ALL must pursue the hard work of addressing these root causes.

It’s not as easy as voting. It means having uncomfortable moments convos w/ loved ones, w/ media, w/ those we disagree, and yes - within our own party, too.

It’s on all of us.

[Jeff Merkley @JeffMerkley]

But we absolutely should not send our troops to Venezuela - especially without explicit Congressional authorization and a public debate.

Arkansas State Senator Stephanie Flowers is a NATIONAL HERO. 🇺🇸 #EndGunViolence

[Danny Zuker @DannyZuker]

Everyone needs to calm down about the 4 year Manafort sentence. All he did was conspire with a hostile power to undermine our democracy. It’s not like he’s a minority teen caught with a joint.

[Jeff Merkley @JeffMerkley]

Trump & the Republicans are ramming through ideologues like Eric Murphy to lifetime appointments & they're ignoring objections from home state senators. Want to stop another Brett Kavanaugh from being confirmed? We must take back the Senate! Elections matter. The Senate matters.

“The guidelines called for a sentence of 19 to 24 years.” Judge called this “excessive.” EXCESSIVE FOR A RICH WHITE? Poor people are in federal prison for decades for weed & this asshole will be home in less than 4 years.

[Murphy Phelan @MurphyPhelan]

FUUUUUUUUCK.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

A rich white Republican guy who helped destroy the country and committed a white collar crime spree got a softer sentence than a black woman who accidentally voted while on probation.

The problem with America in a nutshell.

[Scott Dworkin @funder]

Here’s video of Sean Hannity & Paul Manafort at inauguration talking about how they stayed in touch during and after the campaign. I think Hannity needs to publicly testify in front of Congress.

[Mikel Jollett @Mikel_Jollett]

Paul Manafort is a rich white man who stole millions, tampered witnesses & undermined US democracy. He got 4 years in prison.

Crystal Mason is a black woman who mistakenly cast a ballot in a local election. She got 5 YEARS.

Never tell me there is equal justice in this country.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Where’s the outrage over the 23 GOP members who voted NO on a resolution condemning bigotry today?

Oh, there’s none?

Did they get called out, raked over, ambushed in halls and relentlessly asked why not?

No? Okay. Got it.

[Jonathan Weisman @jonathanweisman]

A reminder that Rep. Matt Gaetz brought a Holocaust denier to the State of the Union address. He's upset by anti-Semitism. https://t.co/tH33HaZnCo

[Jeff Merkley @JeffMerkley]

Want Medicare for All? Need to fix the Senate.
Worried about climate chaos? Need to fix the Senate.
Strengthen unions? Fix the Senate.
Nothing happens if we don’t fix the Senate. Sign the pledge today! https://t.co/B7uEpnlUwK

[Ari Melber @AriMelber]

Paul Manafort’s lenient 4-year sentence — far below the recommended 20 years despite extensive felonies and post-conviction obstruction — is a reminder of the blatant inequities in our justice system that we all know about, because they reoccur every week in courts across America

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Paul Manafort getting such little jail time for such serious crimes lays out for the world how it’s almost impossible for rich people to go to jail for the same amount of time as someone who is lower income.

In our current broken system, “justice” isn’t blind. It’s bought.

[Jeff Merkley @JeffMerkley]

How can Sec. Nielsen testify before Congress that they never put children in cages? Yes they did. I saw them with my own eyes.

[The Nation @thenation]

Ilhan Omar never expressed “prejudicial attitudes” or supported “discriminatory acts” against Jews or anyone else. And yet that is the language being proposed for a Democratic Party–sponsored resolution aimed at undermining her credibility. https://t.co/bGn1D9vkiN

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

“I always thought that if more good people had concealed carry permits,then we could end these Muslims before they [unintelligible].”

This was just this weekend at CPAC, the conference attended by the President and members, to 1000s.

Where’s the resolution against Islamophobia?

[Jeff Merkley @JeffMerkley]

These children NEVER should have been separated from their parents in the first place. As a dad, I can’t imagine the anguish of not being able to see your kids for nearly a year. I know America is better than this. https://t.co/LI4YKDCUBM
