Thank you, Nerdy. Thank you, Obama’s for sharing this story with the world.
“When the articles of impeachment are delivered to the Senate, a procession full of pomp and circumstance, just one video camera and no still photographers will be allowed to document the historic moment. No audio recording at all will be permitted.” WHAT?!!!! https://t.co/orlwrH3V6c
The restrictions being placed on reporting in the Capitol during the impeachment trial are totally unacceptable. Reporters need access to senators so the public knows their views about the evidence. These steps need to be reversed to allow press access of this historic event https://t.co/8RmiWW0SGd
On this day in 1929, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was born in Atlanta, Georgia. By 1963, King would become the most nationally recognized civil rights leader. #APeoplesJourneypic.twitter.com/tOzdZSzfFw

“If you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness…I just want to leave a committed life behind.”
These words should give us all pause…as America has taken a “Drum Major for Justice”…and changed Dr King’s message into “a Day Of Service….his message says so MUCH more..
At @amhistorymuseum, the Time Trials education program invited visitors to practice critical thinking about history, memory, and legacy. I'm excited this program will reach more people through graphic books. https://t.co/lk8GqdMswA
"Unless Republican senators want to accept the facts laid out by the House leadership and restrict themselves to the legal question of whether those facts demonstrate impeachable conduct, they’re going to need to call witnesses." https://t.co/eTDBaJPMPG
Yes, which is why it’s so urgent to get back to normal
"The unthinkable has become routine. There’s a serious cost to this desensitization: the death of democratic accountability. …because the barrier for what shocks us has soared so high, Trump's able to get away with increasingly bad behavior." https://t.co/OpB8aUW6Eb@brianklaas
IMPEACHMENT MANAGERS REVEALED: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is announcing who will serve as impeachment managers in the upcoming trial of Pres. Trump. https://t.co/l4x3kWMZqS
Did you know it is believed that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote parts of his famous "I Have A Dream" speech while visiting South Carolina? Take a look: pic.twitter.com/1BsCjaoTUS
Speaker Pelosi: It's important for the president to know, and Putin to know, the American voter — voters in America — should decide who our president is."
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev submitted his resignation to President Vladimir Putin, hours after the leader's state of the nation address on the need for reforms to the Cabinet and constitution. https://t.co/j91UkXs783
Russian media said Putin plans to name Medvedev as deputy of the presidential Security Council.
The proposed move is seen as part of Putin’s efforts to carve out a new position of power for himself after his current term as president ends in 2024. https://t.co/EkNWbTXN33
they knowwwww that Fight is just Beginninggg….The struggle continues…I do not believe that it will ever end…we will just pass the baton from one generation to another…
Drawing my inspiration today from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on what would have been his 91st birthday. Dr. King had a deep conviction that our country could live up to the ideals of freedom and justice for all. We must carry on his fight today and every day. #MLK91

Just because more people are in the water doesn’t mean the sharks are any less dangerous. My op-ed with @EricHolder in USA Today on higher voter turnout and voter suppression: https://t.co/5GkwKcOUsY
This is the key point. And the fact that every leak, every document, every witness that comes forward, corroborates the impeachment Articles. There’s never an exculpatory info in the new materials. The trajectory is telling. https://t.co/874XtTNmdl
I am honored to have the opportunity to help defend our republic in this incredible moment in history. I hope that every American who believes in democracy will take a stand.
NEW: @fairfightaction and I are teaming up with @benwikler & Wisconsin Dems to make sure they have the team, the plan, and the resources to overcome GOP voter suppression in the all-important state of Wisconsin. It's all hands on deck.
The constitutional changes will now make the PM more powerful than the President. Since Putin stated he won't run for Prez after his term is up in 2024 one can assume he will instead take the PM slot as he has done before except w/these changes he will essentially be a dictator.
Midnight news flash: "The Department of Housing & Urban Development will allow Puerto Rico to access more than $8 billion in blocked disaster aid funding, ending a monthslong hold by the Trump administration, according to people familiar with the matter." https://t.co/HgLcWDiFDP
If an unjust war in Afghanistan didn’t break the U.S. & giving $2 tril dollar tax cut to wealthy didn’t bankrupt the U.S., why does media assume healthcare will bankrupt us? Only when we talk abt lifting the poor & low wealth does this concept of the nation being bankrupt arise.
"The resolution has passed!" Virginia House of Delegates Speaker @EFillerCorn, after the Delegates voted to pass the ERA resolution & make Virginia the 38th and final state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment to the United States Constitution. History was just made!#ERApic.twitter.com/pe89EvG97m
I think this was just in the VA house, has to go the State Senate. However, I saw somewhere else that the ERA has expired, so I don’t know what would happen next.
The Virginia House of Delegates just voted to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution of United States of America. “Equal rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of sex.” pic.twitter.com/irIF1NkayJ
The Equal Rights Amendment is on the verge of being ratified in its final state. Lots of legal wrangling will follow, but it’s a huge deal! @KenBurns made this nice short film for @nytopinion about the moment and how it fits into American women’s history https://t.co/kOHqyGCUDn
No choice in the matter.

The problem with Moderates
and those taking cash from big corporations:
–Is they want to take a “moderate approach” to the Climate Crisis.
It’s
too
late
for
that.
When I was 13 years old, I wanted to be a fighter pilot, but women weren't allowed to do that. I wrote to my senator, but he ignored me. That senator was Mitch McConnell.
Susan Collins throws cold water on new Lev Parnas evidence. “I wonder why the House did not put that into the record and it’s only now being revealed.” Told it was just turned over, she says: “well doesn’t that suggest that the House did an incomplete job then?” @Phil_Mattingly
They beat him. The lied on his character. They kidnapped him, and threw him in a Birmingham jail. They blackmailed him. And, at the height of his power to move and inspire— They assassinated him.
– Lev Parnas will be interviewed by Rachel Maddow tonight – #ParnasDocs sending shockwaves – Rudy Giuliani is in the fetal position – Trump is hiding under his desk – #NeverTrump is trending – Trump is going to prison – It's still only 3:40pm
House clerk: "Mr. President, I have been directed by the House of Representatives to inform the Senate the House has passed H. Res. 798, a resolution appointing and authorizing managers for the impeachment trial of Donald John Trump, president of the United States." Via ABC pic.twitter.com/WKsH7hndlB
The articles of impeachment against US President Trump have been hand-delivered to the US Senate by the seven House impeachment managers who will prosecute the case against him https://t.co/8pjYOpt8mPpic.twitter.com/x05YIQbqYu
.@maddow: "Do you know if Vice President Pence was aware that that was the quid pro quo? That that was the trade, and that that it fact is why his inaugural visit was called off?"
Parnas: "I'm going to use a famous quote by Mr. Sutherland [sic]: 'everybody was in the loop'."
Is it just me but is anyone else creeped out by Bondy, Lev’s lawyer? Jesus, he doesn’t blink and he has not stopped staring at RM. WTF! Most people LOOK at the person talking…. which would be Lev. Ewwww
If Senate Republicans don't call Lev Parnas and John Bolton to testify after THIS #Maddow interview, then they themselves are no better than the fucking mobsters that carried this entire criminal extortion scheme out.
Wow! This Lev Parnas interview has me feeling like we’re watching a really long remake of “The Untouchables.” Can we get the jury switched in the Senate trial too? #impeachment#Maddow
The night before he was assassinated. Assassinated. Many wish “Happy Birthday” to a man today that they would have hated then. The authentic, comprehensive King makes power uneasy & privilege unhinged. Never forget: He’s not here to hear “Happy Birthday” because he was murdered. pic.twitter.com/XYKuIpxRhp
I know he had a MAJOR impact on my life, real time, way back when. Thank God for the dawn of black and white TV, or many people across the country would never have known what was really going on, as witnessed right in their living rooms.
This @maddow interview is a blockbuster. Lev Parnas has so far implicated: POTUS Donald Trump Vice President Mike Pence Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani Attorney General Bill Barr House Intel ranking member Devin Nunes and Rudy pals Toensing & DiGenova plus a Russian oligarch. …
One interview, & hmmm who did he take down? 1) DJT 2) Pence 3) Barr 4) Nunes 5) Rudy.. right about now, President Pelosi is sounding like it's going to happen. #Maddow#LevSpeaks GOOD JOB @maddow *click on pic to see all of it ! pic.twitter.com/hCV7zbnAcD

To be clear, Trump’s instruction to Zelensky that he should get in touch with Bill Barr about the Biden investigation IS CORROBORATION of Lev’s claim that Barr was in the conspiratorial loop. https://t.co/e8qB9wZdwx
It’s not just Trump that is on trial, our whole Constitutional system is on trial: the Senate, the judiciary (Roberts presiding), the press. Either justice must be done—or it must be clearly seen to have not been done.
Good Morning Family! If you’re able to catch Good Morning America around 8:30 ET please do. I’m so happy for Matthew and his team. Hair Love is such a treasure!

This thread is ridiculously long and crazy hilarious! 😆
I have a situation.
The woman behind me on a 6 hour flight has not STFU for 5 seconds.
Said she’s “happy”’15 times. Likes cosmos, beach body doesn’t work, likes cranberry light, NOT diet and it’s only 5 calories. She’s going to have wine tonight though and she can’t wait…
Ukraine has launched a criminal investigation into the alleged hacking of Burisma Holdings, the natural gas company at the center of the Trump impeachment. https://t.co/UDOgvr8RRz
Would all of these senior Ukrainian officials talk to some obscure US businessman if they didn’t know that he was delivering messages on behalf of Guiliani/Trump? Ukrainians aren’t stupid. Ukraine has an embassy in US and their own intelligence community.
Amazing Lev Parnas interview on #Maddow. Also, I’m disclosing that the lawyer for @DevinNunes wrote a letter saying Rep Nunes will sue me if I didn’t apologize for saying last month that Nunes conspired with Parnas.
Happy birthday to a woman who has created some of the most timeless music of our generation. Just like her catalog, Sade never seems to age. She turns 61 today. 🎂 (📷: Getty) pic.twitter.com/QA1QakxLEo
This Parnas interview is also a hell of a recommendation for Joe Biden, because it shows how terrified Trump, Fox News, and every goon in the Republican party is of Biden winning the nomination.
"I haven't got in the way of the music, which is actually owned by the person who takes it into their life. It's their music then. It's not me singing to them. It's their own soundscape, their own soundtrack to their lives." Happy birthday to the singularly soothing goddess Sade! pic.twitter.com/KQ9EvccxQt
It’s becoming increasingly clear Trump’s control over Republicans is along the lines of “If I go down, we all go down,” especially if Parnas does, in fact, implicate Pence, Pompeo, Barr, Nunes, and more.
The Obama Diary 
Thank you, Nerdy. Thank you, Obama’s for sharing this story with the world.
You mean the ANTI CORRUPTION AMBASSADOR??? Have I mentioned how much I detest these criminals??
Kiev McCarthy made a funny!😂😂😂😂
I always considered Kevin McCarthy a little stupid. This statement proves me right!!
A little? I think he fell off the turnip truck AND hit his head!
They like people in pens and cages
Oh boy – #AgentOrange is going to be apoplectic with jealousy when the Obamas win an Oscar for producing American Factory.
I hope his head literally explodes. I would not be sad.

These words should give us all pause…as America has taken a “Drum Major for Justice”…and changed Dr King’s message into “a Day Of Service….his message says so MUCH more..
Indeed!
Just what America needs…”critical thinkers”
Yes, which is why it’s so urgent to get back to normal

Me, too.
There’s a special place in hell for some people. That’s all I’ll say on the matter.
OMG>>>OMG
Is this for real? Do we really have a 28th Amendment, The Equal Rights Amendment?
They did pass the ERA
I think this was just in the VA house, has to go the State Senate. However, I saw somewhere else that the ERA has expired, so I don’t know what would happen next.
Elections matter
Woooot!
Well done Speaker Pelosi and The Managers!!!
