The point of being in the Senate for this long, knowing the rules so deeply, having this much power, @SenSchumer, is to use every procedural block, including suspending unanimous consent, to jam processes so Trump cannot appoint a Supreme Court Justice to govern us for decades.
I’m with her. Democrats always try to compromise and go along to get along.. well GUESS WHAT!!?? While your busy doing all that , All the work and progress we’ve made over many many DECADES could be obliterated because you give Republicans the benefit of the damn doubt!! Fucking stop!!! They deserve NOTHING! Nothing! This place would look like Mother Russia in a fucking NY minute! For once in your damn life, grow a pair and fight like hell!!
👍🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌👍‼️‼️ Y’all know I have felt this way for a long time. The Dems always play nice, fiddle while Rome burns. And, yes, the sometimes includes Nancy and those in the House. Example from this past week, Chad Wolf refused his subpoena and didn’t show up. Did anything happen to him? Sergeant at Arms show up? Inherent contempt? Nope. Nothing. Nothing to see here. Move along. He didn’t show up because he knew nothing would happen! ENOUGH, Dems, Grow a spine and play to win. Want to know what to do? Watch the Rs. Gawd, the more I type, the angrier I get.

I don’t even that shtick of hers is “last minute change of mind.” She ain’t stupid. That’s her game. She’s run it long enough now that people finally see through it.
This just occurred to me: when standing in line to vote DO NOT WEAR ANYTHING REMOTELY POLITICAL. No BLM tees, no RBG buttons. Don’t give any reason for getting pulled out of line. See the @ACLU abt your voting rights. #BidenHarris#RBGRevolution
I've heard some analysts argue a SCOTUS fight will help Trump by shifting "what 2020 will be about" from his mismanagement of COVID to a more straightforward partisan cage match.
That could happen, but I've always seen some big risks for Trump in a pre-election SCOTUS fight…
“Amy Klobuchar:

Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s legacy and whether Sen Klobuchar’s Republican colleagues “will honor their past statements about filling a Supreme Court vacancy when they blocked President Barack Obama’s nominee.”
Senator Klobuchar is a key member on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The reason we have nine Justices is an 1869 law. It's not fixed by the Constitution. It has not always been set at nine.
It is just a law and is subject to legislative change if, at anytime, Congress passes a new law and it is signed by the President. pic.twitter.com/fwF1XrSCuG
Wow, this really is beautiful. An amazing find of an essay by the 13-year-old Ruth Bader, from Brooklyn 1946, w/words that still resonate powerfully today: https://t.co/WR1rM06QUzpic.twitter.com/lJaKexfw1p
In one of her most revealing interviews, Ruth Bader Ginsburg sat down with @RosenJeffrey and discussed the wisdom that guided her throughout her life and her vision for a Constitution that embraced all Americans with open arms: https://t.co/lSjzw78dSn
This is a grave loss for the country, the Court, and those of us who had the unbelievable privilege to work for and know Justice Ginsburg. For tonight, I'm revisiting happy memories, and I'll share a small one to illustrate what a kind and caring person she was. 1/x pic.twitter.com/8JmcRke5WN
She warned us over & over again about so many things. And like the over prepared person that she is – Hillary was right all along. Seriously. https://t.co/dN37nMWc0G

Stay steady. Stay calm. We are winning. There are more of us. This country will reject Trump’s insanity. @JoeBiden and @SenKamalaHarris are performing at a very high level. They are dialed in. They are the Hawk and the Eagle. Trump and Pence are the prey. The rat and the mouse https://t.co/DWuNylNtMc
Trump has a "flair for the dramatic"? Is Xi full of mischievous whimsy? Does Lukashenko have moxy? Is Orbán plucky? Is Duterte peppy? Is Erdoğan a little impish when it comes to democratic norms? Is MBS handy with tools? Is Putin a polonium enthusiast?
Probably worth noting that the well more than $500 million donated to Democratic campaigns in less than 2 months has occurred during the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Speaks to the desire for change in the country.
Been asking myself WHY we’re losing our heroes this year? Im thinking maybe the time for hero worship is ending. Those singular souls cannot carry all the weight. We must EACH step into being heroes of our own community. Democracy needs us ALL. The word MEANS power by the people.
To honor Justice Ginsburg, landmarks throughout NY were lit blue last night, the color of justice and #RBG’s favorite color. Her extraordinary legacy is celebrated. pic.twitter.com/BL5tUTANZj
I've always loved Pope Francis. Most American white Catholics don't understand where he came from. Francis is love, not hate. Hence, his comments to parents of LGBT children: ‘God loves your children as they are.’

Media should begin to tell people NOW that we won’t know winner for a week or so.
Something we should prepare to ignore is Trump announcing himself the winner the night of the election. Those “results” are usually projections based on exit polls & with so many choosing to vote safely by mail, we may have to wait a few extra days. Accurate is better than fast. https://t.co/BaOTmwxbHw

THE BIDEN PLAN FOR A CLEAN ENERGY REVOLUTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
“Vice President Biden knows there is no greater challenge facing our country and our world.
Today, he is outlining a bold plan – a Clean Energy Revolution –
to address this grave threat and lead the world in addressing the climate emergency.
Biden believes the Green New Deal is a crucial framework for meeting the climate challenges we face. It powerfully captures two basic truths, which are at the core of his plan: (1) the United States urgently needs to embrace greater ambition on an epic scale to meet the scope of this challenge, and (2) our environment and our economy are completely and totally connected.”
(https://joebiden.com/climate-plan/#)
“If we can harness all of our energy and talents, and unmatchable American innovation, we can turn this threat into an opportunity to revitalize the U.S. energy sector and boost growth economy-wide. We can create new industries that reinvigorate our manufacturing and create high-quality, middle-class jobs in cities and towns across the United States. We can lead America to become the world’s clean energy superpower. We can export our clean-energy technology across the globe and create high-quality, middle-class jobs here at home. Getting to a 100% clean energy economy is not only an obligation, it’s an opportunity. We should fully adopt a clean energy future, not just for all of us today, but for our children and grandchildren, so their tomorrow is healthier, safer, and more just.”
(https://joebiden.com/climate-plan/#)
Small-dollar donors have now given $100 million on ActBlue since 8 p.m. ET Friday, investing in candidates up and down the ballot and orgs on the front lines of the impending judicial confirmation fight. The grassroots is ready to fight to honor Justice Ginsburg’s legacy.

Good decision, hopefully not enough to save your ass. You still need to go.
We probably will not know for awhile after the Election Day.
I don’t trust her. She’s always concerned and disappointed until it’s time to vote. She will fold like a $2 bill if a vote comes up.
She does have that “last minute change of mind” syndrome.
I don’t even that shtick of hers is “last minute change of mind.” She ain’t stupid. That’s her game. She’s run it long enough now that people finally see through it.

FACT.
Excellent. I want to obliterate the Republicans and make them all inconsequential
The suspicious in me thinks Trumpy’s minions sent it themselves.
Trump nor the GOP are honourable. I feel they are creating diversion.
Damn. This was supposed to go below.
Yes. It sure is
‘Suspicious’ is the first thought that came to mind when i read it
From much earlier today ….
Expect the very worst in the days ahead.
As noted frequently with, as yet, not acknowledgement from anyone of consequence – America is at WAR and Putin has ZERO intention of losing.
As for Trump, Pence, Barr, McConnell ……………………………………….. they face only two outcomes for the remainder of their mobster lives.
