Good evening, TOD! It has been great reading so many MIA family members. Welcome back one and all.
Nerdy, thank you for taking such great care of the village. We are forever in your debt.
Hi, Judith! Yes, HOPE is on the horizon! Today’s rollout of foreign policy and national security picks was pitch perfect. I’m disappointed that #virus45 cancelled his Mara Iago trip; my hope was that he’d go and never come back…
I’m so proud of the movement we built in SC. We brought hope back, and moved one step closer to a New South.
Now, I’m launching @DirtRoadPAC to continue the fight, and put in the work to build a stronger Democratic party by investing everywhere and listening to everyone. pic.twitter.com/QavvrJeLoc
If you’re on board, I hope you’ll split a donation between the amazing candidates in Georgia, @GeorgiaDemocrat, and Dirt Road PAC. Together, we can put in the work for a New South. https://t.co/FZQAN7iEzN
Dirt Road PAC is about investing all across the country, and electing candidates that understand and represent their communities. Our party isn't a monolith, so we can't act like it is.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota's state canvassing board unanimously certified the state's election results Tuesday, an ordinarily routine task that drew closer attention due to President Donald Trump's efforts to delay it in key states.
One thing that hasn’t gotten enough attention: the election of Dem govs, AGs & sec of states in 2018 in PA/MI/WI had a huge impact in 2020 by helping people vote, fighting frivolous lawsuits & making sure votes counted/certified. This is why state & local races so important
Letitia James and Cy Vance will be after the Trump Crime Family soon. Prosecutors form others states too. None of this involves President Biden and his priorities. Joe won’t interfere with JUSTICE, as presidents SHOULD NOT.
EARLIER: Sec. of State Mike Pompeo does not answer when a reporter asks him, "Mr. Secretary, any comments or advice for your successor?" pic.twitter.com/WRMPmV24ni
No one, in fact, has a right to file frivolous lawsuits, and lawyers are supposed to either talk their clients out of filing frivolous claims or withdraw from the representation. https://t.co/rTx7tl8uVl
Again, Trump's lawyers said they wanted to take this case to the Supreme Court but didn't actually engage an appellate lawyer, and it shows. pic.twitter.com/YuqlvQs3ek
People claim Ford pardoning Nixon was for the good of the country. I disagreed then & now. Not prosecuting Nixon taught a lesson to Roy Cohn-Roger Stone-Paul Manafort-Karl Rove and Donald Trump that they could do whatever they wanted without consequences, That needs to end now.
UK's Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, revealed she had a miscarriage in July in a New York Times article, saying "I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second," urging people to care for one another by asking "are you OK?" during Thanksgiving in the U.S. pic.twitter.com/iaP29YQPnp
"I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second,” Meghan Markle writes about her miscarriage. Today, we are sharing an essay by the Duchess of Sussex about the loss that she and Prince Harry suffered earlier this year. https://t.co/xCJbgPgufq
A week ago today my world changed in a big way. I was fired from leading the agency I love. No regrets other than I didn’t get a chance to say farewell. To @CISAgov: keep calm & CISA on. To the American people, have confidence in your vote & thank an election worker. #Protect2020
How to put this gently: I don’t give a flying fuck what the worst Secretary of State in modern American history thinks of the team replacing him and his. https://t.co/tcZ8YDq1IB
STG every time I watch this, I hear The West Wing’s theme music at the end… every single time. Somebody should update this! @richmondywong 😃😆https://t.co/6uRrAuInj0
“Since [1889], every outgoing administration has halted the federal death penalty during transition period. Trump & Barr are not merely failing to engage in a merciful pause: They are rushing to execute persons who might be spared by a new administration” https://t.co/pJ7NonB4d4
During difficult times I have always turned to cooking. This year, I wanted to share one of my family’s favorite Thanksgiving recipes with you. I hope whenever you’re able to make it in life, it brings you as much warmth as it has brought me—even when separated from those I love. pic.twitter.com/68LUeat4fE
Directions: Bake your cornbread according to the instructions on the package. This can be done the day before. Once it’s cooled, crumble it. pic.twitter.com/4ILJMsi1q8
Take the sausage out of its casing, crumble it, and brown it in a little oil. When it’s cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove it from the pan and set it aside. pic.twitter.com/XETAqSZVJ4
Hi! the unroll you asked for: @KamalaHarris: During difficult times I have always turned to cooking. This year, I wanted to share one of my family’s… https://t.co/t9gFgUICkA Share this if you think it's interesting. 🤖
Atlanta changed their cash bail system so those facing nonviolent misdemeanors wouldn’t sit in jail for months without even being convicted of a crime.
Kelly Loeffler, the wealthiest member of Congress, wants to keep them locked up because she thinks poverty is a crime. pic.twitter.com/RQLN2NGKoz
Trump today: "Four Seasons and seven lawsuits ago my lawyers brought forth on this parking lot, a new legal filing, conceived under the influence, and dedicated to the proposition that bird shit smeared on a printout of a Newsmax article constitutes a legal strategy…"
The only thing that Perdue (and Loeffler) have done since they’ve been in the senate is to enrich themselves and be yes men to tRump.
They can’t talk about policies or their accomplishments on behalf of the state of Georgia. All they have are negative, misleading, attacks against their opponent(s).
The next chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee must help Biden rid the world of Covid-19 and rebuild the damage President Trump did to the country's diplomatic infrastructure, Rep. Joaquin Castro, one of three candidates for job, said Tuesday. https://t.co/Lxik7YSww2
Everyone in the crowd raised their hand when I asked if they knew someone with a pre-existing condition.
Reply if you know someone with a pre-existing condition who could lose their health care coverage if @Kloeffler has her way. pic.twitter.com/G23y45ATMT
We can’t say it enough; if you’re thinking about doing a virtual Thanksgiving but not sure if your single action is really going to make a difference— it is going to make a difference. I thank every one of you doing whatever you can do within your means right now. #covid19
Remember when @realDonaldTrump warned during the campaign that your 401k's and stocks would "disintegrate and disappear" if @JoeBiden won? Well, the Dow Jones industrial average just reached a record high of 30,000 points. And it's 3 weeks since Election Day.
Breaking: Chinese President Xi Jinping has sent a congratulatory message to President-elect Biden.
"Promoting the healthy and stable development of China-US relations is…in the fundamental interests of both peoples,” state-run Xinhua news quoted Xi as saying.
Thank you @RomancingRunoff for your amazing efforts. I’m privileged to be one of you. For the cause, I’d like to throw in an autographed copy of my first novel, Rules of Engagement, in the rare hardback version. Both Selena & Stacey will sign. 😉https://t.co/32aiezmJmW
It's gonna be "Winning: Promises Made, Promises Kept!"
It'll be ghost written, he stiffs the writer while spending all his time golfing. He'll hold rallies to do private $1k signings, recounting being a very stable genius, dance to YMCA, cry he was robbed & continue grifting.
We need a Senate that will vote for stimulus. If you’re not in Georgia, you can still help elect @ReverendWarnock and @ossoff on Jan 5. Donate, volunteer to make calls or send postcards, tweet/share posts, talk to friends & family, ask them to help. @fairfightaction We need you.
“The legal part of this fight is pretty much over and what it’s starting to feel like is a sour grapes tour,” GOP election lawyer Ben Ginsburg told @PoppyHarlowCNN and me this morning of Trump refusal to concede.
Rather than holding protests at DNCHq, and launching petitions about hypothetical cabinet picks, they should hold rallies in front of Mitch's and each GOP senator's home and office, protesting the senate recessing before taking a vote on the HEROS Act. Also, work to win #GASenate
So the request being made of Pennsylvania Republican legislators and activists: come join an event that has no bearing on reality but is designed to harm faith in the government, and as a bonus, risk catching a deadly virus from someone who has clearly been exposed
1977, 1993, 2009, 2021–new Democratic presidents don't tend to step into the best situations. A pattern of being the party that the nation turns to in moments of crisis.
It didn't have to be like this. Coronavirus is just a pathogen. But Donald Trump is a plague. We are in the midst of a full blown Trump *surge* of sickness and death. My editorial in @thenationhttps://t.co/EYAduDadHw
Trump's Gettyburg visit apparently canceled. "The traveling pool was getting ready to leave for Pennsylvania but was told at the last minute that their trip has been canceled," per today's print pooler @matthewchoi2018 at the White House.
“Stacey Abrams On Finishing the Job In Georgia
“It can be undone just as quickly and as effectively as we did it.””
“It’s important that we enjoy what it means to live in a free society and to have these moments of respite.
But it’s also an organizing tool. If you can meet people where they are, and they want to be with you when you get there, that helps a lot. If we enter this work chastising, lecturing, and hectoring, you might get a few people to do something in that moment to get you to shut up, but you’re never going to convert them or convince them that it’s worth doing again. But if people see the normalness of what this can mean, and that that normalness can be profound in how their lives get better, then they’re going to be more willing to risk showing up and standing in that line and being rained on and being yelled at by some guy in a truck who’s telling them to go home. They’re going to be more willing if they think that they’re in this together, as opposed to they’re being sort of led to do this by people who think they’re too important to show up.”

The awesome: “Samantha Power, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations,
talks with Rachel Maddow about opportunities for the Biden administration to restore the world’s faith in the competence and abilities of the United States in the wake of the Trump administration and, in particular,
its mishandling of the coronavirus crisis.”
“Biden Faces Challenge Of Restoring Faith In American Competence In Wake Of Trump Chaos”
“I also think education and our Universities are the way to showcase what America still has to offer
in terms of intellectual capital…to welcome back international students, which by the way is a huge source of income for our economy when we don’t have a pandemic. Nonetheless Trump allowed those numbers to begin to fall substantially. And for Biden to make that a priority again…” (fmr Ambassador Samantha Power)
Live in a red state and have seen the Board of Governors year after year systematically conniving to dismantle our great University. While investors continue to put their names on fancy buildings, the Board goes on cutting adjuncts and shrinking departments and every imaginable affront. e.g. They just ended
all Journals in the Library. Now it is about pay: And have made payments bi-monthly (but no longer at the beginning of the month). A substantial amount of your pay is held back which they invest and pay you in a lump sum in December. So you have to wait till then to get a big chunk of your pay. This policy was put into action without warning. And I know the havoc that is causing families who are trying to pay bills.
These are the families of all levels of educators in a state that already pays low.

Nerdy, thank you for taking such great care of the village. We are forever in your debt.
Congratulations, Alycee! Loving all this Obama and Biden news. Feels like hope is on the horizon!
Hi, Judith! Yes, HOPE is on the horizon! Today’s rollout of foreign policy and national security picks was pitch perfect. I’m disappointed that #virus45 cancelled his Mara Iago trip; my hope was that he’d go and never come back…

Letitia James and Cy Vance will be after the Trump Crime Family soon. Prosecutors form others states too. None of this involves President Biden and his priorities. Joe won’t interfere with JUSTICE, as presidents SHOULD NOT.
why is the corrupt media is thinking that these traitorous thugs still matter?
Half of the US and majority of whites are not only racists, they are all stupid ass racists who are also easy marks.
and yet here we are with 50 odd stupid suits and 0 sanctions from the courts.
It’s all just a con show to rip off the rubes for ever.
the scums shouted because the 3rd rate msm took the baits every day. one thing I will give the thug, he knew how to play the useless murkan msm.
yup, the normalization of presidential corruption and abuse of power started then.
There’s a halo around our moon, mars close by….
Wishing peace across America, especially to all who are missing their loved ones.

Hilarious!
LOL
Ha! That’s great!
Yup.
Good Morning Family! 😘❤️
protocols, norms, tradition everything has been shitcanned by these corrupt thugs.
Trump & Barr are horrible human beings. They deserve the absolute worst of everything that’s coming to them.
I love this woman! 😍❤️
I will be making this. It’s almost like what I make. This will be special.
Pretty much my mom’s recipe except we never did apples. I’m gonna try it.

Morning Neighbor! Backatcha, each and every day! 😘

So stoopid it doesn’t even warrant the correct spelling.

Write in campaign targeting GA GOP voters….
It’s not just that they’re crooks…
The only thing that Perdue (and Loeffler) have done since they’ve been in the senate is to enrich themselves and be yes men to tRump.
They can’t talk about policies or their accomplishments on behalf of the state of Georgia. All they have are negative, misleading, attacks against their opponent(s).
Please tweet that!
No Twitter account. Please feel free. Thanks!

Yup. They stuck their necks out bravely. Time to repay their bravery.
Also. Too. That navy captain who saved his crew from corona.
For anyone who wants to help us win those two Georgia seats
