After the murder of Breonna Taylor, Louisville city council has just voted 24-1 to INCREASE the police budget by $750,000 and to cut $775,000 from local libraries. This is structural violence.

Today, I introduced #HRes1032, which would authorize an impeachment inquiry into Attorney General Barr. He has politicized the DOJ, undermined the rule of law, abused his power, obstructed justice & violated the first amendment. He is not fit to be Attorney General. #ImpeachBarrpic.twitter.com/nr5P2OOQFX

Mobile-phone location data from people who attended President Trump’s Oklahoma rally show most came from outside Tulsa, hailing from at least 44 counties spread across 12 states.

No more euphemisms. Trump and his propagandists are working to engineer violent civil conflict, to persuade white Americans that they're on the losing side in a race war. The White House's handling of the "white power" tweet gives away the game. New piece:https://t.co/QYx4hw0jbM
With this move, Republican senators have stopped merely being enablers when Trump seeks foreign help to win elections. They’ve become accomplices. https://t.co/GKOhj4oPJN
Today, the House unanimously passed a resolution recognizing June 19th as Juneteenth Independence Day – commemorating the day in 1865 when slaves in Texas finally learned they were free. Thank you, @JacksonLeeTX18, for leading the House on this historic occasion.
(2/7) Thank you to every candidate who stepped up to run in this race. Like so many, I am inspired by the powerful movement Charles Booker built to fight systemic racism and injustice and rightfully demand long-overdue action and accountability from our government & institutions.
Thank you, Mike. I'm honored to have your support as a fellow Marine. I admire your service to our country and community as a journalist, farmer, teacher and candidate, and I look forward to continuing our shared mission of retiring Mitch. #SemperFihttps://t.co/Iaq3ui9a2Y
Congratulations @AmyMcGrathKY on your victory. I am committed to doing anything to support your campaign and to help you defeat @senatemajldr. I hope America will join me as America needs him to be removed. I look forward to your victory. https://t.co/fgI1tTJJQu
Now? Really? Get the eff outta town. Correction, just get out of our universe & take yr scourge w/u. Away into smithereens. Not so serious question, but who knows (been watching too many old Twilight episodes on Netflix lately 😷😂): is it possible to beam them straight to Gehenna? 😏😂👀
"This is a president that is a voracious consumer of Fox & Friends in the morning but is not a voracious consumer of the intelligence that is being presented to him to keep our country and our personnel safe. We're in deep trouble" – @brett_mcgurk w/ @NicolleDWallacepic.twitter.com/UUfBe511Kr
"In 50 years of dealing with national security issues, I've never seen anything like this… Obviously [Trump] knew about it, there's no question in my mind, and he was so keen on being subservient Russian and Putin interests" – @mccaffreyr3 w/ @NicolleDWallacepic.twitter.com/9cwh21Cab4
In fact, I’ve been anticipating much worse ever since Nov 2016 and have realized is that the only ‘hope’ is that a sufficient number of members of the Intelligence Community, the Military and THE PEOPLE make it IMPOSSIBLE for Trump & Pence to remain in the White House.
Perhaps we will reach that ‘inflection’ in real soon now.

Imagine you're a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan right now. You eat dust and miss your family all day long while worrying about Taliban snipers, mortars and suicide bombers. Then you learn Trump knew Moscow was paying the Taliban to kill you and he covered it up. @StandUpRepublicpic.twitter.com/fnCmmQbSs8
Since he was born, our son Theo has heard us talk about @JoeBiden. When Joe comes on television, he instantly knows who he is. He also looks for him in his books.

Totally unnecessary childish behavior. If you refuse to wear a mask in public, please order your grocery on line, but acting out in public makes you look childish and stupid…She also needs to be arrested…. asap!#makefacemaskmandatoryhttps://t.co/MJlcbMb4ru

"There are many circumstances in which the law appropriately commands, as in [the Supreme Ct Holder case], that courts defer to the Executive Branch’s national security judgments. But …the record in that case consisted of far more than a newspaper article."
This is how the court described the Trump rule it struck down "the Rule renders aliens seeking to enter the United States at its southern border categorically ineligible for asylum unless they first applied for similar protection in a third country they transited through"

I have a Carl Reiner story that I hold very dear to me. I figured I'd share it today, on the day of his passing, because I hope it will bring some other people some joy the way it does me.
Morning everyone. Why would you do this unless you were cheating and taking foreign money? Answer: You wouldn’t. They are all criminals . Thread
The @SenateGOP decision to strip our intelligence and defense legislation of a provision requiring presidential campaigns to report offers of election help from foreign agents is yet another cynical, partisan attempt to enable @realDonaldTrump’s cheating and lying. (1/4)
Lawd I hope WHEN Biden is elected and the Democrats become the majority in the Senate (and keep the House) that a lot of this mess can be undone, and provisions put into law that will prevent some of this corruption in the future.
It will not happen quickly…i do not know what the state of the country will be…Economy..Health Care…Virus…and as we learned from President’s time in office…there will be obstruction…and not just from the GOP….from Dems…and the JDs to just name a few…
and if the Sen Dems do not kill the filibuster..that progressive agenda that everyone talks about won’t happen…and if there is not aggressive tactics…namely make DC and PR a state…increase the number in SCOTUS and rescind the lifetime tenure of Judges
Let’s just hope that people realize that there is much to be fixed and don’t get indignant and belligerent because things aren’t happening the way they would like to the degree they would like as quickly as they would like…for all the reasons that you stated.
True. Unfortunately, US citizens don’t seem to be as disciplined as citizens in other countries. I wonder even if masks are mandated how many would push back, especially now since “El leader” has said that the pandemic is a hoax and has been emphatic about not wearing a mask. Some things are hard to reverse. Even the rising numbers don’t seem to phase some people.
People don’t seem to (or want to) understand that exercising liberty comes with responsibility. Liberty and Justice for ALL requires a degree of selflessness.
Just shut everything down, suspend all mortgage and rent payments, give everybody $2k a month regardless of employment or means and call the rest of the year off. Otherwise we’re doomed. We knew this in April but pretended we could just wish it away.
I have been thinking that for a long time. Other than absolute essential workers … shut it all down. Freeze everything. Except I don’t know how it would work, but I think that’s the general concept.
Those who are not complying are just making it harder for others who are following the rules. They are dragging out the recovery period. So dumb. Just goes to show they are selfish.
It is not just deaths … even those who recover are at risks of heart attacks, permanent organ damage.

BREAKING: Trump just publicly sided with the Russian Gov’t over the US Gov’t, calling the bounty on US troops a hoax. Then he attacked American press. His boss Putin will be proud.

Thankfully the House will not pass such a reckless bill.

Now? Really? Get the eff outta town. Correction, just get out of our universe & take yr scourge w/u. Away into smithereens. Not so serious question, but who knows (been watching too many old Twilight episodes on Netflix lately 😷😂): is it possible to beam them straight to Gehenna? 😏😂👀
Really? So what is he going to do to Russia now that he has been briefed?
Watch. Not a damn thing.
It’s a cover-up move, to bolster “he was never briefed before”. The dishonesty and conniving is constant. It’s all he does.
Yes, Trump has been consistent about 1 thing, for reasons that have been thoroughly documented over the span of 2 decades ….
So, while others are ‘shocked,’ I’m not.
In fact, I’ve been anticipating much worse ever since Nov 2016 and have realized is that the only ‘hope’ is that a sufficient number of members of the Intelligence Community, the Military and THE PEOPLE make it IMPOSSIBLE for Trump & Pence to remain in the White House.

If putting on a mask causes you to struggle to breathe, you’re probably too susceptible to this virus to be out among people. Just stay home.
