Republicans are talking about Dr. Seuss and Mr. Potato Head and Neanderthals and Biden has a $2 trillion COVID relief bill with 75% approval — PolitiTweet.org

4. I'm not convinced that this is a sustainable position over time. If you support voting rights, how can you be neutral on a bill that would dramatically restrict voting? For updates and more accountability journalism, sign up for the newsletter. https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org

3. For now, these corporations are trying to have it both ways. They are releasing statements saying they support voting rights but are declining to oppose legislation that restricts voting rights or stop contributing to GA legislators pushing the bills https://t.co/ASAY992ae5 — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday, Texas Governor Abbott has rescinded all COVID restrictions. Today, Texas reported that 263 more people died of COVID. Things are getting better and vaccines are on the way. But Abbott's actions will increase the spread and kill people. — PolitiTweet.org

WTF is this all about. Cruz is smart enough to know that Biden had absolutely no involvement with the decision of the Dr. Seuss estate to stop selling a few of his books. (Not any of these bestsellers.) But Cruz thinks people are dumb enough that this will be effective. — PolitiTweet.org
