You can't pretend to be pushing for Reagan's "peace through strength" and then give Putin everything he wants. The appeasement of dictators never works. & Reagan never did that with Moscow.

No one should ever say “no one is above the law” in this country, ever again.

This!

When they offer school “choice” or health care “choice” or social security “choice” or Veterans “choice”- that’s privatization. You pay taxes, and instead of giving it back to you, Republicans give it to their rich CEO friends. Then they cut CEO taxes.

We need the wealthiest among us to contribute to Social Security ALL YEAR long – just like the rest of us!

I find it fascinating that nobody ever talks about meeting Democratic voters where they are.

The “Crawl Test”: Autocrats like to make minions crawl. Gaetz and Gabbard nominations will test Republican senators’ willingness to crawl for Trump. Should be interesting.

the people who deserve contempt are not voters but instead well-informed Republicans who - for the sake of their pocketbooks, status within the tribe, hatred of the other side, whatever - accepted/promoted a man who is going to very badly hurt our country and its people

I'm just not so sure the presidency and the position of attorney general were meant to be safe havens for people trying to avoid prison time

Alexander Hamilton: Senate's power to approve or reject a president's top nominees “would tend greatly to prevent the appointment of unfit characters,” including those “who had no other merit than that … of possessing the necessary insignificance and pliancy to render them the

The party that is obsessed with child sex offenders, & is close to a cult that claims child sex offenders run the government, just nominated a guy once investigated for allegedly sex-trafficking a 17 year old girl to be in charge of the country’s legal system. Beyond parody.

Dems have the Senate majority for the next 60-plus days. Use it! Not just to confirm judges. Hold your own pre-confirmation hearings. Foreign Relations on Tulsi Gabbards ties to Russia. Intel Committee onJohn Ratliffe's misconduct on intelligence in Trump's first term. 1/

So much drama. So much “Oh my God!” only to bend over when it’s confirmation time and give Trump what he wants. Yawn. Republicans, please stop the excited utterances about what Trump did, or might do. He told you. Spare us your shock at his nominating Matt Gaetz,Tulsi Gabbard

Trump voters chose him because of the economy and the border. They didn’t choose him to put an unqualified sycophant as SecDef, a possible Russian agent as DNI, the target of a DOJ investigation as AG, or a vaccine denier as Sec HHS. The Senate must do its job properly.

Dear Democrats, This is the right path for right now.

Whatever you do, do NOT repost this - it would make Trump suuuuuper mad. Like ketchup-throwing mad.

Your future guardian of America’s health, a short story: The outbreak of measles in Samoa starting in September 2019 created a panic. Schools closed, Christmas events were cancelled, lockdowns ensued. More…

It’s not a surprise that a number of these cabinet picks would fail an FBI background check. The guy we just elected President would fail an FBI background check.

Billionaire grifters are about to dismantle your government. So instead of your tax dollars going to your Medicare or your Medicaid or your affordable care act or to veterans benefits or your social security - it will go to THEM in the form of tax cuts for the wealthy.

As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am alarmed by the nomination of Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence.  These roles are not for re-paying political favors; they’re about protecting and leading the thousands of Americans who have given their lives
