Keep Texans in your thoughts today. MInnesota-level cold, with few tools to handle it. No power or heat for hundreds of thousands. Total paralysis. Hope for the best. — PolitiTweet.org

The Voter ID bill would likely shut out hundreds of thousands of legal and eligible MInnesota voters, while doing nothing to affect the already-minuscule incidence of misconduct. https://t.co/zsplxLFHiQ — PolitiTweet.org

RIP Christopher Plummer. Sentimentality alert: As the son of an Austrian immigrant, I always loved the scene in The Sound of Music where Plummer (as Captain Von Trapp) sings “Edelweiss” just before he leads his family on an escape from the Nazis. https://t.co/Fa1IPUbcrf — PolitiTweet.org

Imagine the pressure on President-Elect Biden’s speechwriters right now. Every phrase of today’s speech will be hyper-scrutinized. What signals are sent? What words used? What tone set? Probably not since Roosevelt in 1933 have the stakes been as high for an inaugural address. — PolitiTweet.org

If you’re heartbroken over yesterday’s mob violence at the US Capitol, don’t tolerate lies, disinformation, and conspiracy theories about the 2020 election - especially coming from elected officials. Tell the truth: The election was honest, fair, accurate, and secure. Period. — PolitiTweet.org
