Nice speech, @LindseyGrahamSC! But I seem to recall that you called the GA and AR Secretaries of State to find votes for your golf buddy.

After watching the Jan 6 committee today, my overwhelming reaction is just how profoundly sad it is that Donald Trump was POTUS.

6,200 people at Trump rally in Tulsa. Acts that had bigger crowds at the same venue in 2019: - Sha Na Na - The Pips (w/o Gladys Knight) - Loverboy - John Tesh - The West Virginia Touring Company of La Traviata

Democrats’ attempt to codify the right to abortion went down 49-51. We should immediately drop a bill codifying the right to use contraception. Make Republicans vote on that one! Let’s go on offense for a change!

In his speech at the NRA convention today, @tedcruz actually said, “What stops armed bad guys is armed good guys.” That’s what happens when you write your speech a week in advance and forget to rewrite.

Every GOP Senator who refused to give Garland a vote & now agrees to vote for a Trump SCOTUS nominee will forever be remembered as a monumental hypocrite. And McConnell will live in infamy as the man who destroyed the Senate & the Court through his own lust for power.

It's time to stop taking Trump seriously and to start taking him literally.

I’ve decided to endorse @RepLizCheney for the Republican nomination for the House seat In Wyoming it’s my first time endorsing in a GOP primary. But I think Al Franken’s support will carry a lot of weight with WY Republicans.

As I said after the Alito leak, Dems should put a bill on the floor codifying the right to birth control, and in light of Thomas’ concurrence, marriage equality and privacy.

Trump today: "I could shoot somebody in the middle of 5th Avenue and Lindsey Graham would still be against impeachment."

Susan Collins this morning: “I don’t think it’s necessary to take the nuclear codes away from President Trump because this time he’s really learned his lesson.”

Listening to Mitch McConnell talk about the decline of bipartisanship is like listening to Jeffrey Dahmer complain about the decline of dinner party etiquette.

No one is trying to allow abortions right up to birth. You asshole, DeSantis. #GOPDebate

Congrats to soon-to-be Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Pretty sure her husband will never plot a coup to overturn an election.
