The irony of removing paid leave to placate a man is not lost on any of us whose family planning had to include banking sick leave and never taking a day off for over a year just so you could pay your bills while caring for a newborn.

- Don’t worry my beautiful daughter, you’ll hear a lot more than 47 “No’s” in your lifetime. But in the end, they will still have to put some respect on your name. They may even have to call you Justice.
- The irony of Senator Graham attempting to educate Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson about double standards in America…
- Public defenders are not soft on crime. They are tough on injustice. That should be the philosophy of every Judge.
- FYI in 2018, #JudgeEllis sentenced Frederick Turner, 37, to a mandatory minimum of 40 years in prison for dealing methamphetamine: "I chafe a bit at that, but I follow the law. If I thought it was blatantly immoral, I'd have to resign. It's wrong, but not immoral." #PaulManafort
- That time the #Pennsylvania AG Josh Shapiro’s son walked into the shot and reminded us all parents are in the same boat in 2020! 😂
00:00 - Just so we're clear: we've reached a point in America where there's a debate whether to put a camera in front of the President & broadcast his words to the American people because genuine concerns on both sides exist about whether those words will be truthful. During a shutdown.
- You know when my husband bought a dash camera a few years ago, I thought he was crazy to think he needed another gadget. My man took my hand & told me that it was for me: So that I would know what happened to him if he were ever pulled over. #CaronNazario
- We just learned during opening statements of #DerekChauvinTrial: Bystanders called the police on the police. A police officer watching this on camera called the police on the police. All while bystanders and #GeorgeFloyd begged for him to be allowed to breathe.
- It’s outrageous that we even need to have a Violence Against Women Act, unbelievable that Congress would let it expire, and unconscionable that the NRA would have the power to tank it.

00:00- For those of you angry at @ABCNetwork for canceling #Roseanne for her written vitriolic speech, remember that @realDonaldTrump called for the firing of #NFL players for symbolic non-disruptive speech protesting inequality. I wonder if you're consistent in your convictions?? 🤔
- I just made my son and my daughter repeat the oaths of office...for practice, for someday.
