Did y’all know that me and former President @BarackObama weren’t even in the same room for this interview? He was in D.C. and I was in California. But thanks to the power of technology (and @DrewBarrymore), now I may never leave my house 😂 pic.twitter.com/ysNBpo7IEv

Imagine trying to explain to someone from another country that to win in our "democracy," first you have to win all the votes then win the electoral college then the frivolous lawsuits then the corrupt election boards then finally some random boss-level unelected bureaucrat.

My mom is from Waycross, GA. Y’all know where that is? It’s way across Georgia!
It ‘s important for me to visit rural areas that remind me of my mom’s hometown this past weekend, because they, too, are a part of Georgia. And I’m running to represent ALL Georgians.
The White House has called a lid, meaning we will not see Trump. He continues to hide in the White House. He has not answered a single question from a reporter since Election Day.
“the earnest attempt to subvert and overturn the election didn’t pan out so the people who urged vigilance were being hysterical” is the probably going to be conventional wisdom for the professional contrarian set https://t.co/2GR1HNqWce
Let’s join hands and sing “Kum ba Yah”. Yeah, Right.
Schumer: "This is probably the closest thing to a concession that Pres. Trump could issue. Let us all now — Democrats and Republicans, the Trump Administration and the incoming Biden Administration — unite together for a smooth and peaceful transition that will benefit America."
The fuck is Schumer is talking about, Trump isn’t anywhere near making a concession, not even a half-ass concession. I’m not trying to hold hands with a party that spent the last four years trying to skull-fuck American. But if Schumer wants to hold hands be my guest, this fucking guy.
I have mixed feelings about what Schumer said…i remember Pres Obama once said that by the GOP demonizing him that made it harder for them to find any kind of common ground…i believe that Schumer is trying to find some kind of common ground…because the way our constitution is set up…it takes both Houses to get something done…esp when you are not in the majority…
Except that what upheld democracy was not the "checks and balances"… they pretty much fell apart under wrecking ball Trump. It was the sheer will of the people determined to vote in spite of all obstacles and the amazing lawyer team of @marceelias that safeguarded those votes.
Schumer is totally the wrong leader for this time. I know it was “his turn” but these are perilous and extra-ordinary times. If he was a real patriot, he would step down and allow a younger, different kind of leader take the reins.
The selection of Amb. Linda Thomas-Greenfield demonstrates a welcome re-commitment to the patriots in our diplomatic service who have been demeaned and demoralized the last four years. Her presence at the UN will reflect a new and brighter day for US diplomacy.
Georgia’s Latino population is 4% of the electorate. It’s the same percentage as Virginia when it turned blue.@votolatino registered 36k Georgians this past election and is hard at work w @fairfightaction to register more!
So they didn’t just pull is out of the treaty, they are destroying the only highly specialized surveillance aircraft after having canceled the program to replace them with more modern planes.
"In a move that could complicate President-elect Joe Biden’s options if he sought to re-enter the agreement, the Trump administration is taking steps to dispose of the two specially equipped OC-135B planes the US has used to carry out Open Skies flights."https://t.co/yq07RhVOpD
Thanks for spoiling the euphoria from the GSA approval of the Biden transition. While I'm ticked that I will not sleep as soundly as I thought I would tonight, you have a talent for bringing us back down to Earth for what Trump is truly up to. This is going to be a long 57 days.
Yeah, but one of the clauses in his purchase stipulates that it would not be his residence…
Trump is now renovating Mar-a-Lago. He’s clearly trying to establish homestead there, so he can argue to the eventual New York State trial judge that he should be allowed to serve his house arrest at Mar-a-Lago while awaiting trial. That’s where his head is.
“Trump made Florida his official residence. He may have also made a legal mess.”
In August 1993, Trump got his club, signing an extraordinarily detailed document called a “use agreement” that governs to this day how Mar-a-Lago can be used. The document makes clear that Mar-a-Lago would no longer be a single-family residence and was now a private club.
The deal he struck made it clear that no one could live permanently at the property. It stated that the guest suites could be used only by members for a maximum of three times a year for no longer than seven days at a time, and that those seven-day stays couldn’t be strung together consecutively.
He *unsuccessfully* sued the town in 1996, attempting to lift many of the restrictions he’d agreed to three years earlier. He wanted out of the limits on the guest suites, for instance, and he also wanted to drop a requirement that half the members of the club be Palm Beach residents or business owners.
In early October, the New York Times reported that he changed his official domicile to Palm Beach, Fla. Trump quickly confirmed that he’d done so via Twitter…The address he listed was 1100 S. Ocean Blvd. — Mar-a-Lago.
Trump’s switch to Florida also tossed a quirky legal puzzle into the mix. Trump has said that he voted by mail in Florida’s Republican primary last month. Florida law requires voters to register using their “legal residence” addresses under penalty of perjury.
Trump’s possible violation of his agreement with Palm Beach [is] “a substantial and serious potential legal impediment” to the president using Mar-a-Lago as his voter-registration address and official domicile.
yup, the traitorous thug and his treasonous party will burn everything to ground before the dems take over. And the fawners like schumer will do jacksquat.
Imagine being the party that engaged in various forms of voter suppression for years–purging voter rolls, closing polling sites, restricting early voting, even sabotaging the US mail– but then still losing and having the nerve to complain that the *other* party somehow cheated.

Why hello there, men in my inbox, helpfully pointing out that the United States has in fact had a female Treasurer. It has! But it has not had a female Treasury Secretary, which is an entirely different position.
Dinkins rebuilt neighborhoods, gave poor children after school centers and expanded police force. 11 years Ago Rudy Giuliani launched a patented scabrous attacks on the former mayor, and I looked at his mayoralty and found better than many realized: https://t.co/vsIdK9NIAi
This exactly. Rudy ran for mayor on the same racist payback BS Trump would later use against @BarackObama. And he governed New York City in the most racially thuggish manner possible. Living in the city as a Black person was frightening with him as mayor. Dinkins deserves better. https://t.co/3i4lkEifrn

Throughout American history with any kind of Black progress, there is a white recoil. Examples: Reconstruction to Jim Crow, Civil Rights Act and VRA to Richard Nixon, and from Obama to Trump. It's another reason why Black voters are politically pragmatic.
Just in: Pentagon announces Biden transition contacted it tonight and will begin implementing its plan. “DoD is prepared to provide post-election services and support in a professional, orderly, and efficient manner that is befitting of the public’s expectation.”
For four years, I spoke out vigorously against Donald Trump’s craven dishonesty, corrupt pursuit of personal interests, & trampling of our democratic principles. After serving over three decades in national security, I felt compelled to condemn Trump’s depravity & incompetence.
I now plan to ignore Trump. I leave his fate to our judicial system, his infamy to history, & his legacy to a trash heap. The national security team of P-E Biden and VP-E Harris has numerous challenges ahead of it & wise national security policies merit strong bipartisan support.
And while I will refrain from referencing Donald Trump in Twittersphere again, I will not hesitate to denounce public officials of any political stripe who I believe betray the trust of the American people or engage in unethical, unprincipled, or corrupt activities.
Joe Biden is putting scientists in charge and back on the stage to restore trust in the CDC.
The plans include immediately reviving regular media briefings and giving a central role to long-sidelined career officials including Nancy Messonnier. https://t.co/PPYVhyAoEP
