Not only that, but just months ago, @BrianSimsPA had quietly donated a kidney to a neighbor dying of renal failure. He's immunocompromised. He could lose his life because Republicans didn't want to UNDERMINE THEIR OWN TALKING POINTS BY ADMITTING THAT A GOP MEMBER TESTED POSITIVE.
.@randikayeCNN participates in a scientific experiment which demonstrates just how quickly coronavirus could spread in a restaurant. https://t.co/nulDN4IhxL
This is Trump EXTORTING states to illegally suppress voting - a direct crime against the people. If the Attorney General refuses to address this criminal abuse of office & of power, then Barr should immediately be impeached. We are not (yet) a dictatorship. Come on, Congress!
NEW: The U.S. government has paid at least $970,000 to @realdonaldtrump's businesses since Trump took office.

@ProudResister F off! Believe women doesn’t mean blindly believe anything a woman says. How about believe them, investigate, make a determination. Tara has serious credibility problems. F U for using this story for ur political agenda

The DOJ dropped charges against Russian companies accused of operating illegal pro-Trump troll farms in 2016. Trump responded with celebratory re-retweets of the "Mueller loss." The oligarch who funded the trolls was also thrilled. (w/ @maryilyushina)

Jan. 24: "It will all work out well."
Jan. 30: "We think we have it very well under control."
Every elected @GOP official owns this moment. They elected him. They coddled him. They cowered before him. They refused to have witnesses at his trial. Given the opportunity to stand up, they sat down. How much must he break before they will put our country first?
