@ChrisMurphyCT Chris — Please listen to the Chris Matthew’s monologue on this morning’s Morning Joe show on MSNBC.
It’s a challenge to you to push back on the Trump overreach. Do it for us!

[Steve Woelfer @steve4stock]

@RpsAgainstTrump Very concise and insightful!
Thanks for sharing.

@Matt_Pinner It’s just a bunch of false equivalencies!

@AOC Alexandria is my heroine!

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis beyond its control.

Today’s ruling represents an assault on American democracy. It is up to Congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture.

I intend on filing articles of impeachment upon our return.

@BarackObama We all need to stop referring to “settlers” on the West Bank. Wouldn’t “invaders” be a better descriptive term?

@joerogan If this is real, just let Charles Darwin deal with it.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Nate White, a British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read:

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:

• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.

• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.

God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”

This man in Texas holding up a sign is going viral and I hope the local news finds him and gives him the airtime he deserves

Republicans will hand a 6 year old a gun, send a 12 year old to work in a meatpacking plant, force a 10 year old to carry her rapist’s baby to term & allow a grown man to marry an 11 year old, but do go on about how it’s the Democrats who aren’t keeping our kids safe, won’t you.

[Steve Woelfer @steve4stock]

@MeidasTouch It would be more accurate to say that most accusations are actually projections.

Astronaut Leland Melvin chose to pose for his NASA portrait with his two dogs, Jake and Scout.

Best portrait ever.

@Tesla Safety should never be simply a “design objective.”
Safety must be a foundational “DESIGN REQUIREMENT.”

@gtconway3d At this point, Maybe 6 moderate Replublicans can be swayed to vote for Jeffries if given seats on powerful committees and a voice in what bills/laws come to floor?

[MJWolf @mjwolfs]

@gtconway3d You know George, these results today are screaming for a coalition house with Dems holding power on a few committees, if you want them to be the heroes & save the day

[Ricky Davila @TheRickyDavila]

Congressman Hakeem Jeffries is really good at this. Really good.

@laurenboebert @krhern How about Liz Chaney next round?
