I cannot believe what we’re witnessing in the #OvalOffice. Stomach churning and disgraceful attempt by #Trump and #Vance to bully, humiliate and browbeat #Zelensky. ‘This will make great television.’ It will - if you enjoy watching betrayal and democracy crumble in real time.

Replying to @realDonaldTrump
One would think the #US President would have better things to do at a summit on denuclearisation than mock a US Senator's 50 year old military record. Especially considering #Trump dodged the draft with 'bone spurs' claim. #HanoiSummit

Concern about #Trump turns to anger as it emerges he tested positive for #COVID19 on Wednesday, 36 hours earlier than announced, & failed to notify #Biden. Donors furious he held #Bedminster fundraiser knowing he was infected. #ChrisChristie 8th inner circle to tested positive

A sad and messy end to a lengthy career. But it ensures #Biden’s legacy as a decent man, dedicated public servant and President (who achieved far more in his one term than he has yet been given credit for so far) remains intact. The race is now wide open. What a month!

So an obese 74-year-old male embarks on an unnecessary course of a dangerous drug, for a condition he doesn't have and for which the drug doesn't work, in an attempt to prove he knows more than medical & science experts. What could possibly go wrong?? #Hydroxychloroquine #Trump

President Trump says he is taking hydroxychloroquine, even though several recent studies show the drug is ineffective against the coronavirus and may even be harmful cnn.it/2ZcEb6J

Shortly after 4 am Washington DC time #JoeBiden was certified as 46th President of the US. #Republicans like #TedCruz whose attempted coup from within should be held as accountable as the mob that stormed the Capitol for the shocking violence that preceded his certification.

how was security on #CapitolHill breached to this degree? I recall seeing peaceful protesters in wheelchairs being handcuffed outside #MitchMcConnell’s office during protest at #Trump attempts to end Obamacare...these thugs stormed and vandalized the Senate building. #DCProtests

For the record, this is the first time the deaths of 400,000+ Americans who died from #COVID19 in the past 10 months have been acknowledged by the nation's leaders, along with the extraordinary sacrifices of health care workers. #Inauguration2021

#GloriaSteinem tells half a million #marchers in #DC . "This is the upside of the downside. An outpouring of democracy like I've never seen

Seems #McConnell is calling for #Trump's criminal prosecution. 'President Trump is still liable for everything he did while in office as an ordinary citizen. He didn't get away with anything. Yet. We have a criminal justice system in this country. " Classic Pontus Pilate move.

Armed #Trump supporters block traffic in #Michigan, preventing #coronavirus first responders from getting to work. Defying #GretchenWhitmer lockdown, they gather outside state capital building brandishing assault weapons with impunity. Not a word of criticism from #Trump or #GOP.

7 million #Texans are told they must boil tap water before drinking. But due to #TexasPowerOutages, millions have no electricity or means of boiling water. Meanwhile, cost of electricity soars from $22 for a megawatt hour to $9,000. So much for #GregAbbot's deregulation spree.

The hyprocisy and amorality of @PressSecSanders knows no bounds. To FALSELY accuse @Acosta of 'placing his hands on a young woman' while defending @POTUS who boasts about sexually assaulting women & is accused by 19 women of sexual assault & harassment beggars belief. #AuntLydia

Biden’s granddaughter, daughter of his deceased son Beau, embraces him after a rousing, forward-looking speech. And some pretty impressive fireworks too! JoeBidenPresidentElect #Election2020
