Fealty to Donald Trump will not spare you from his cruelty. It's strength — not weakness — that curbs his baser instincts. Now is the time for us to be strong.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Make a huge mistake. Then make a false claim about how you fixed it. They did it for PEPFAR. Now Ebola. I follow this particular topic VERY closely, so here's what really happened and why this isn't true AT ALL...🧵

I want to thank the 34,000 Vermonters who joined Sen. Welch, Rep. Balint and me in our delegation town hall by phone & online. An extraordinary turnout for a state of 650,000 people. Needless to say, the people of VT are deeply concerned about what’s going on in DC right now.

Omg. This is horrifying. Congresswoman Kelly Morrison just revealed that Medicaid covers HALF of the kids in the United states, more than 40% of the births — and Republicans want it gone. The Republican funding bill impacts ALL OF US.

There are many, more eloquent than me who have noted the problems of treating politics as sport. But the one that gets me most is that when you put unqualified, egocentric grifters in power people die. And the penalty is never as great as the crime. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

From a guy who used to work there: Rachel is a remarkable person and the best TV news talent there is. If she says something is fucked up, it is. Getting rid of Joy, who dared to see through this fascism bullshit years ago and had the gall of occasionally being funny about it, is dumb.

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

I’m demanding answers, alongside members of the Illinois federal delegation, from the Trump administration for ignoring court orders to release almost $1.88 billion in federal funding for our state. If they can't hold their end of the deal, Illinoisans deserve to know.

Watching Rep Jeffries on Maddow show was dispiriting. Normal responses are ineffective in addressing times that are not normal. Merrick Garland demonstrated that to catastrophic results. We are in the midst of a power grab that is rendering policies & rule of law irrelevant. What do we DO?
