@Morning_Joe it's obvious some on the panel didn't listen to the speech. Biden did call out GOP legislators for their power grab of the vote counting and certification process. The media continues to let the GOP off the hook for being complicit in the fall of US democracy.

A landlord, in his letter to renters:

“Until the govt opens again, you are responsible for ALL of your rental amount.”

The tenants, many elderly & disabled, will be evicted on the 20th if they can’t pay up. Their federal housing support had vanished.

President Trump should be INDICTED!

An indictment would sent a precedent for all future presidents, letting them know that they can't use the office of the presidency to commit crimes and get away with them.

Who's with me on this?

[Andrea Mitchell @mitchellreports]

This is astounding. A dictator cons the supposed leader of the free world...

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Trump has shut down the government. The stock market is in free-fall. No one is in charge of the Justice Department. Trump has foresaken our allies. Thousands of children are being warehoused on our border. The hatefulness, cruelty and greed is staggering.

FACT CHECK:

- When Obama created the ACA (ObamaCare), it was completely CONSTITUTIONAL.

- Republicans stripped the penalty on the individual mandate, thus making it UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

- ObamaCare was only ruled "UNCONSTITUTIONAL" because Republicans sabotaged it!

FACTS MATTER!

This is what we mean when we talk about a rigged economy. If Sears has $25 million to give bonuses to executives after closing over 100 stores, why is the company telling thousands of laid off employees they don't have the money to pay their severance? https://t.co/vgL2F2BLVk

One of the country’s largest oil refiners, Andeavor, contributed $1 million in both 2016 and 2017 to a dark money group connected to Mitch McConnell.

BREAKING: Yahoo News is reporting that President Trump tried to hire William Barr as his defence attorney.

Now he’s nominated to be the US attorney general who will oversee the Mueller probe.

If you don’t see a problem here then I don’t know what else to say.

REJECT BARR!

I don’t quite understand why every national Democrat with a platform isn’t talking about NC 9. If the shoe were on the other foot...

What's going on in NC, WI and MI is not getting nearly enough attention - this 'let's strip all of the Democrats' powers before they take office' - they never stop going lower. Media, do. your. fucking. job!!
