I think there is a hesitancy to subpoena the wife of a Supreme Court Justice. But once you cross a certain line, that deference is inappropriate. And conspiring to overthrow the government is way over the line. — PolitiTweet.org

"Universal background checks, magazine bans, licensing requirements, the list goes on and on and on. And I said no, no, 1,000 times no." -- @JohnCornyn Hard to make a deal with someone who views their job as saying "NO" and brags about it in the middle of negotiations — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE: Senator @JohnCornyn just appeared at the Texas GOP Convention and bragged that he "fought and kept President Biden's gun grabbing wish list off the table" This is supposed to be someone working toward a deal in good faith? — PolitiTweet.org

There has been a lot of focus on how much the Saudis are paying Phil Mickelson and other golfers to play on the LIV tour. But what about how much the Saudis are paying Trump? Two tournaments, including the series championship, will be held at Trump-owned courses. https://t.co/bG0dZuR5tO — PolitiTweet.org

For example, Republicans reportedly want to make sure that a man can still buy a gun if he only casually dated the woman he beat up. — PolitiTweet.org

Just to be clear Republicans are holding up a (modest) deal on gun safety because they want (some) people who were CONVICTED OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE or SUBJECT TO A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE RESTRAINING ORDER to still be able to buy guns — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

Never underestimate the ability of Republicans to say no to a gun safety deal. Democrats were willing to accept a deal that excludes almost everything that would make a difference and panders to GOP talking points on school security and mental health But it still might not work — PolitiTweet.org

The proof that Trump knew his voter fraud claims were BS is that Trump raised $250 million from his supporters to investigate and litigate voter fraud but used virtually none of it for that purpose. He knew there was nothing to investigate. — PolitiTweet.org

The Boebert story was obviously bogus. It’s a reminder that the left is not immune from conspiracy theories. After Kerry lost in ‘04 there was a bunch of voting machine nonsense The difference is these conspiracies did not become a central plank of the Democratic Party — PolitiTweet.org

6. In many ways, Gen Z workers today are much worse off than workers in the 40s, 50s, and 60s. And it is not unreasonable for them to believe that unionizing could improve their economic prospects https://t.co/WtVzjera6b — PolitiTweet.org

5. Shifting income from workers to investors has dramatically increased income inequality. A big part of what made this all possible is the decline of unionization. It went from about 33% in the 1950s to about 10% today. https://t.co/WtVzjera6b https://t.co/oEuhtUwB7n — PolitiTweet.org

3. Let's go over some FACTS In 1965, American CEOs made 15 times more than the average worker. Today, the CEO-to-worker pay gap at America’s largest low-wage employers like Starbucks is closer to 670 to 1 At Starbucks itself, it was 1,579 to 1 in 2021 https://t.co/WtVzjera6b — PolitiTweet.org

@Starbucks @HowardSchultz 2. Schultz claims "the history of unions is based on the fact that companies in the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s abused their people" But is he right? Are workers better off now than in mid-Century America? Is the only point of unions to prevent "abuse"? https://t.co/WtVzjera6b — PolitiTweet.org
