Our founders, though imperfect, gave us a perfect idea: protection of the minority against the power of the majority, to the individual level. The closer our actions lead us to this idea, without exception, the greater our patriotism @RepWexton @MarkWarner @timkaine @AOC @tedlieu

Asked by a member of the military this morning about his holiday plans, Trump said, “I really pretty much work. That’s what I like to do." This afternoon, he went golfing again.

North Korea never stopped building weapons. Trump got played.

[Jon Cryer @MrJonCryer]

There were never many good options on North Korea, but giving them everything they want and getting nothing in return was the one that Trump went with.

“One day, from his sniper nest, Gallagher shot a girl in a flower-print hijab who was walking w/ other girls on the riverbank. She dropped, clutching her stomach, & the other girls dragged her away.” This is who he pardoned & honored.

[Seth Rogen @Sethrogen]

Go see Uncut Gems in a theater if you can. It’s a manic, tense, psychedelic, hilarious, insanely well executed film. As soon as it ended the audience burst in to applause. It felt like we all got off a ride together.

Kinda makes you wonder what's going on, eh?

@neiltyson Happy solstice! It’s the reason for the season!

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

Happy December Solstice to all life forms on Earth.

The Northern Hemisphere's longest night. The Southern Hemisphere's longest day.
And for the equator, caught between, a day like any other.

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

She is so embarrassing.

NPR intentionally acted in bad faith. Driver defended himself appropriately. In that they knowingly went against his expressed wishes, they must accept his response. Adam Driver walked out on a radio interview after the show played a Marriage Story clip https://t.co/ApGtC6hge9

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

I will not be watching anything having to do with The Hallmark Channel until they affirm the respect and dignity of LGBTQ families. This feels like we’re living in 1999, not 2019.

Shame on @HallmarkChannel for caving to bigots in such a cowardly manner like this.

As families said goodbye and people wrote their last words to loved ones, photographer Mendel Grosman captured these last moments on camera. They were being deported to the Chelmno killing center where killing operations began in December 1941. https://t.co/RidCy6RKn3

[Democratic Coalition @TheDemCoalition]

Reminder: The president is a thrice married philander who cheated on his third wife with a porn star while she was nursing his fifth child and he is a serial groper who once openly bragged on a hot mic about how he liked to commit sexual assault.
