For all those folks who always try to disparage the Obamas for what they are not doing (according to them)…Perhaps they should be watching what they ARE doing….and as ever…it is not for those folks to dictate to the Barack and Michelle Obama…
I spent a lot of years in academic institutions advising students on their life choices, curriculum, progress toward graduation, graduate school and careers. I ran programs specifically targeted for POC. To see our First Lady Michelle Obama carry forward the importance of education fills me with tremendous pride. She and President Obama are our North Star.
After Parnas public remarks, Pelosi today said the attorney general has been "implicated." I asked her what evidence does she have to make that allegation. Her response: pic.twitter.com/raJEmhWajt
Students defrauded by predatory, for-profit colleges are often left with devastating debt and none of the job opportunities they were promised. After voting to overturn Sec. DeVos' rule, we must continue to #StandWithStudents and prioritize education. https://t.co/aNbkBvXpCB
WOW, that was really something. Adam Schiff is my hero.
Blunt, Graham, Leahy Feinstein have been appointed to escort CJ Roberts to the Senate chambers at 2pm. The Senate will stand in recess until that time.
If you can donate to Cmdr. Kelly, we in Arizona would be forever grateful. We didn’t want McSally to begin with… people voted against her and she LOST but the Republican governor INSTALLED her ever though we all said no thanks. She needs to go. She’s nothing but a cult member. Mark Kelly would represent the people well.

Marie Yovanovitch was a renowned corruption fighter in Ukraine. She was tough and couldn’t be muzzled. And she stood in the way of Trump’s plan to dig up dirt on Biden.
Nunes was off his rocker at the impeachment hearing, eyes whirring in concentric circles.
(Parnas spoke about the grossity of one of Nunes’ Ukraine accomplices sitting behind him at that event.)
I remarked that Nunes was muttering incantations under his breath and now we see why.
GIANT THANKS to the extraordinary Rachel Maddow:
She worked for months towards the Parnas interview, not knowing until the very last if it would come about.
Parnas per the interview: “Barr was on the team.” Pence too. Nunes, and others…
Wow, widespread conspiracy all the way up the highest echelons of the Republican Party starting with Trump.
Guiliani and Parnas had lots of back up!
Parnas: “President Trump knew exactly what was going on. He was aware of all of my movements. I wouldn’t do anything without the consent of Rudy Guiliani and the President…I was on the ground doing their work.”
Parnas spoke “on Trump’s behalf” at meetings in Ukraine with Guiliani.
Parnas said he was with Trump at a ” lot of one on one events….at round tables with 6 people.”
Maddow …”All about the Bidens, never about Burisma.”
–The interview complete is on The Rachel Maddow Podcast.
–Anyone have the link to an online transcript of RM and Parnas?
Thank all the Gods for the Obamas who continue to mentor young people around the world. This Senate trial is crucial to save our democracy from the pack of goons running our government with Putin’s help. I hope Chief Justice Roberts thinks so too.
imo.
We need a Forward-thinking Progressive who can address current and impending crises as well as unite America.
1) WARREN has the vast background experientially and educationally to do the job.
2) And she is not beholden to corporations (Trump’s real constituency).
3) BOOKER has the background, education (another Rhodes scholar) and big mind needed to be VP and grow into future President.
Speaking of Warren, NPR had a sound bite this morning that must have been from after the debate Monday. I assume they had not turned off their mics yet. She asked Bernie why he said she lied about what he had said? He replied let’s talk about it later. This is not the time!
Seems to me if Elizabeth had lied she would not have approached Bernie to ask him why he did? He was quite into avoidance. Sometimes people do not remember what they don’t want to remember. That is my most positive spin on it.
– Hasn’t tweeted anything about Lev Parnas – Wow is he ever afraid of Lev – GOP Senator Martha McSally has berserk meltdown aimed at CNN’s Manu Raju – McSally knows Trump is taking the GOP Senate down – Trump is going to prison – It’s still only 1:45pm
Glad Sen. Harris was there, front and center. She’s earned it. Missed the beginning of it, but caught the thrust. Good for all of them. (Sen. Coons is also a favorite of mine!)
It’s amazing to me that someone who lost her senate race & had to be forced in has this much confidence that the people of Arizona will approve of this behavior AND vote for her when they have a brilliant former-astronaut who won’t embarrass Arizona to choose.@ShuttleCDRKellyhttps://t.co/hOkWKQP7KW
I’ll be calling her sorry ass again today. What an embarrassment…. she seems to have a problem with a free press and the American people. We didn’t want her on the first place and we sure as hell don’t want her now
Trump jokes about shredding the Constitution and serving more than 2 terms during the White House prayer event: "So while I'm president — which will be hopefully for 5 years and I dunno, maybe we'll work with the media on a major extension of that." pic.twitter.com/bnusrVMuzu

Just called Martha MC Sally’s office and reminded her that the US had a free press and that the people of AZ didn’t want her to begin with and we sure as hell don’t want her now. That I would be voting for and donating to Mark Kelly
– Thinks he just got impeached today – Goes berserk about his "PERFECT PHONE CALL" – Ukraine launches probe into Team Trump – FBI goes after Trump's guy Robert Hyde – Lev Parnas is on TV again tonight – Trump is going to prison – It's still only 5pm
"I would argue that not only is this an impeachment trial, but that the very integrity of the United States Senate is on trial. What is before us are charges that are arguably the most serious charges that have ever been leveled against a President of the US." –@KamalaHarrispic.twitter.com/uk25orXwtE
RNC chair Ronna McDaniel, White House aides, lobbyists, top party officials and Super PAC aides gather for an “off the record” dinner at Trump Hotel every month. It costs about $3,000, and the president’s party pays the president’s hotel. https://t.co/E1owcydfr7
That was an outrageous response. Stop it @SenMcSallyAZ and everyone else participating in the degradation of our democratic institutions and human decency. We are ruining our great country. It's embarrassing and dangerous. https://t.co/b63EqPq7Jb
This is a true statement. We need to get rid of our Fuck You, governor, too.
Reminder:
Martha McSally was installed as a Senator by the governor of Arizona as a big "fuck you" to the voters of Arizona, who had just rejected McSally in an election for Arizona's other Senate seat.
Whatever comes out of their mouths is always a lie.

Be careful of this guy. He’s funny…a pattern we are seeing, e.g. comedian no-nothing Zelinsky.
He is corpoa rate shoe-in, motivational type, who told Colbert that he WILL be in the next Administration.
This comment about PBO is completely uncalled for. President Obama was BLOCKED for 8 years by MoscowMassacreMItch and the global oil oligarchs.

How co’s & politicians collect our data & through psychographic targeting, weaponize it to manipulate our behavior for their personal, political & monetary gain.
"Our parents truly gave us unconditional love and encouragement to go places they never imagined." 💫❤️ Happy birthday, @MichelleObama! In this interview, she reflects on growing up in the South Side of Chicago and why fighting for education is close to her heart. pic.twitter.com/ici1TrUeu1
Thread. Follow him and share his information…. since McConnell has forbidden all access to journalists covering this history….America needs to know
Every day of the trial, I'm going write a twitter thread and Facebook post giving my read on the day's events (and some behind-the-scenes vignettes) in order to make sure the trial is as transparent as possible.
Excellent! Now build every new building with solar panels.
New U.S. building codes call for making every home 'electric car ready' — equipped with the circuitry in the garage to install a plug. It's a small step, but it makes EV adoption that much easier at the margins: https://t.co/rxv7CQb9di
Been trying to tell the anti-Trump coalition for MONTHS you cannot shame GOP senators into "doing impartial justice" you can only make them fear losing their seats via moving public opinion, which means you MUST get facts https://t.co/10Sj7PJl0h

From the mouth of the coward that avoided going to war while others were sent in his place.
In remarks not reported until now, Trump raged during a 2017 meeting at the Pentagon. Trump stunned nearly everyone; some vowed to never repeat his words.
"I wouldn't go to war with you people," Trump barked. "You're a bunch of dopes and babies." https://t.co/DAPRBQcyUD

Good morning, TODville.

Nancy will not ever play.
WOW, that was really something. Adam Schiff is my hero.
I am soooooo proud of our Rep Adam Schiff!
My most fervent wish. Just saying.
Ditto

Chilling. Thread
The messages and texts indicate it….she was rushed back to the U.S.
Were they planning to take her out?
–McCarthy is implicated.

What is next for the mobster GOP Trump team?
They must be held accountable.
Also what can be done NOW to stop MoscowMitch from blocking us from hearing the trial?

Yes, I saw that. Crazy, eh?

We’re on an upswing, perhaps?

Ok cult member
That Trump administration is fill with liars.
It’s a prerequisite
I’ll be calling her sorry ass again today. What an embarrassment…. she seems to have a problem with a free press and the American people. We didn’t want her on the first place and we sure as hell don’t want her now
The Wall definitely helped… oh wait. No.
Planes & boats & trains … 🎶👀😂
Ha haha. He’s so funny. Not.
Fuck yourself, jackass. Not while I’m breathing
Exactly.

Thank you on behalf of all of the rest of us!
Good for you!!
Vote her out.
My kinda day’s result! ⚽👀😂
Rachel probably had really good ratings last night. I wish that the interview could have lasted longer. 🙂
Corrupt.
what Parnas said about AG Barr was rather chilling..
And it was all about murder! Jaysus! The cult has absolutely no moral compass.
Oh wow, J’OB, am blaming fires in Australia for this liquid trickling down my cheeks. 👀😪
Hugs to you (on both counts), Gazelle!
Love this:) brought a huge smile to my face and it’s only 5 am. Love him.
Just dropping this here. 💖
Love Michael McFaul. He’s REAL. #ObamaPeople
Happy Birthday to the best First Lady ever.
Morning everyone I say we replace all of them with Democrats. Then I’m good.
Bet this is BEFORE McSally made a total ass out of herself!
This is a true statement. We need to get rid of our Fuck You, governor, too.
Whatever comes out of their mouths is always a lie.
I would agree
Then there’s this moron.
He’s a nonstarter. I won’t waste my time or breath on him.
he was asked this question by Kathleen Kingsbury..,,You have to wonder why she asked that..was it a.set up…throwing a mine in his path…
KK: Do you feel like President Obama achieved the change that he had promised in the 2008 campaign?
