@Mike_Pence Garland has moved slowly, methodically, and to all appearances reluctantly. For the DoJ not to investigate given the ample evidence of Trump’s crimes would undermine public confidence in the rule of law.
@Mike_Pence Do you share the deep concern of millions of Americans that his repeated, openly contemptuous flouting of the law made this step unfortunately necessary?
@Chasten@FareedZakaria I don’t know why we’re focused on pronouns. Republicans have had more success demagoguing restrooms, sports, and education. And I don’t know what to do about it. We shouldn’t throw marginalized groups under the bus for votes. But the country’s future rests on us winning.
The tweet was real. It disappeared from U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan’s account soon after news broke that a man had been arrested and charged with raping the 10-year-old girl. https://t.co/JLG4oXWkVj
A 10-year-old girl was raped in @Jim_Jordan's home state of Ohio.
Jordan publicly called the story a lie.
Then, after the rapist was arrested and confessed, Jordan deleted the tweet without any acknowledgment or apology.
@bfuentesNWWI @RealKellyJones I agree, but people criticizing her aren’t doing so because they’re genuinely uninformed about the dynamics of abusive relationships. She’s a threat to Trump and his supporters, so the knives come out.
@christinaqi You can argue over who should’ve made the finals. But of those who did, Lim stands head and shoulders above the rest. Who would expect to see an 18 year old giving, live, arguably the definitive version of the Transcendentals? It’s not close enough for politics to play a role.
@Mediaite I’m stunned at the timing. He wants a jury verdict, so the case doesn’t have to be retried if he’s reversed. But what are the chances the jury doesn’t hear about his ruling? They’re not sequestered, and this is big news.
@timkellernyc Arguments from incredulity are sad. Shakespeare is more inventive, but that’s no argument for its truth. Wikipedia articles are devoted to Near East resurrection myths that influenced Christianity.
