@kroger 2. @Kroger's CEO, Rodney McMullen, has publicly positioned the company as a champion of the Black Lives Matter movement "We must use our voice to express we are against racism, and injustice in the black community," McMullen said in a June 5 video https://t.co/T5ujZXxgAQ — PolitiTweet.org

1. The largest supermarket chain in the United States, @Kroger, has banned employees from wearing small pins that say "Black Lives Matter" Instead, Kroger says they can wear company-produced wristbands that say "Standing Together" or "Diversity" https://t.co/T5ujZXxgAQ https://t.co/zgmA8mj9Uf — PolitiTweet.org

If you believe this, you would not support the nomination of another Supreme Court Justice that Trump has said he is installing to help him cling to power. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

Senate Republicans have not agreed to vote on Trump's nominee for the Supreme Court. They've agreed to participate in Trump's scheme to invalidate the results of the 2020 election by stacking the Supreme Court He's talking about it openly! — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

This could be stopped right now if the leaders of the GOP would speak up against this. But they are silent. They are either too cowardly or like the idea of Trump maintaining power by force. — PolitiTweet.org

Just because Trump says this out loud, doesn’t make it any less scandalous. And the Republican Senate is complicit. — PolitiTweet.org

The only thing the video shows is a truck with signs. The "rioters" are holding signs. — PolitiTweet.org

Wanton Endangerment is a "Class D" felony in Kentucky. Other Class D felonies include: "Theft of a medical record" "Disclosure of information from financial information repository" "Filing illegal lien" "Marijuana cultivation" — PolitiTweet.org

The grand jury recommended charges against one of the three officers who killed Breonna Taylor Not for shooting her but for the "wanton endagerment" of other people in the apartment complex Maximum punishment is one to five years in jail. — PolitiTweet.org

Since we are talking about Trump and racism today, I'll just mention that Trump has accepted over $2,000 in campaign donations from a notorious neo-Nazi leader and has ignored numerous press inquiries about it and has not returned any of the money https://t.co/hQsKkCV1pF — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

This is the best people can come up with to argue Trump is not racist. This is how people DEFEND Trump. Incredible. https://t.co/zCgX5sKJR3 — PolitiTweet.org

@pkafka @hunterwalk @Kantrowitz @CaseyNewton I would say that's an atypical example of the Substack model for recruiting new writers. A much more typical Substack model is similar to their fellowship program where people are offered an advance. — PolitiTweet.org

"After phone calls with Jewish lawmakers, Trump has muttered that Jews 'are only in it for themselves' and 'stick together' in an ethnic allegiance that exceeds other loyalties" — PolitiTweet.org

"In unguarded moments with senior aides, President Trump has maintained that Black Americans have mainly themselves to blame in their struggle for equality, hindered more by lack of initiative than societal impediments" https://t.co/rTQSbQxF7K — PolitiTweet.org

My adult political life started with Bush v. Gore in 2000 and, candidly, these last 20 years have been a lot — PolitiTweet.org

It goes beyond that. The chairman of the Pennsylvania GOP is on the record in this piece saying bypassing the election results is an option the party is considering. — PolitiTweet.org

6. We are headed into an election and there is a lot of focus on the "sport" of politics. I'm going to try to stay as focused on substance and what's happening to everyday people If that sounds good, check out my newsletter --> https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org

5. The House passed legislation in May that the Senate has refused to take up. McConnell proposed a much smaller package which failed to get enough support. But now, the Senate has decided to just stop trying It's a stunning abdication of responsibility https://t.co/avt9hrJsxj — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

4. Beyond economic relief, life is not able to come close to normal in the US because we still lack the basic tools like EFFECTIVE MASKS FOR HEALTH CARE WORKERS & RAPID AND WIDELY AVAILABLE TESTING But the Senate has decided to focus on other priorities https://t.co/avt9hrJsxj — PolitiTweet.org

3. In March, when the stock market briefly sank to 18500, there was an economic crisis. Now the stock market is back at 27,288.18 and the Senate has moved on. But for many, things are only getting worse. https://t.co/avt9hrJsxj — PolitiTweet.org

2. All of the economic relief targeted at everyday Americans have expired. Meanwhile, 19 million children (1 in 4) live in a household that isn’t getting enough to eat, is behind on rent or mortgage, or both The Senate has decided to do nothing https://t.co/avt9hrJsxj — PolitiTweet.org

1. There has been a lot of focus on the HYPOCRISY of the Senate focusing the next 6 weeks on Trump's SCOTUS nominee. But that has obscured its CRUELTY The Senate last passed COVID legislation 5 MONTHS AGO Millions are suffering. https://t.co/avt9hrJsxj — PolitiTweet.org

@kevinroose When I asked Facebook why, they said it was their policy to punish the entity receiving the payments more harshly than the entity making the payments. I asked them to provide an example of this ever happening and they said they could not. — PolitiTweet.org

During the debate, Biden should challenge Trump to denounce QAnon. — PolitiTweet.org
