Dear @realDonaldTrump: Your lawyers didn’t even make your ridiculous argument. And the ones they did try were all rejected by the courts. Both Dems & Republicans were watching the counts. But even if they weren’t, the ballots are still valid. You are being so pathetic now. Sad! — PolitiTweet.org

Dear @realDonaldTrump: Hate crimes surged against Asian Americans this year. You added fuel to the fire by making racist statements like Kung Flu. The Asian American community turned out in force in multiple swing states, including Georgia. Because racism has consequences. — PolitiTweet.org

Dear @SecPompeo: Please transmit this Russian congratulatory telegram to President-elect @JoeBiden when you receive it. Thank you. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

The lawyers for @realDonaldTrump have finally had enough filing frivolous, stupid lawsuits that won’t change any outcomes in any states even if they had prevailed. Now they are dropping Trump because they are not going to lie in court. #ThursdayThoughts — PolitiTweet.org

Dear @realDonaldTrump: #ItsTimeToConcede. — PolitiTweet.org

Justice Alito’s rant isn’t just bizarre, it’s factually wrong. Religions are still free to discriminate, but government cannot when it comes to marriage. Also, the First Amendment protects public criticism. If Alito’s neighbor wants to call him a bigot, that’s protected speech. — PolitiTweet.org

@2020_trumps @realDonaldTrump Yes, until January 20, 2021 at which time Trump will be evicted from the White House. — PolitiTweet.org

@CA__chriss @realDonaldTrump Actually, I didn’t really double check. I was using satire. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@CA__chriss @realDonaldTrump Thank you for reading my tweets. Also, I double checked and I won my election. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @realDonaldTrump: You are a laughingstock. Your staff is bailing. Your friends are whispering behind your back. Your lawyers are dropping you. You can stop embarrassing yourself by graciously accepting you lost and focusing on the important work for the lame duck session. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @realDonaldTrump: More numbers came in from Pennsylvania. @JoeBiden is still beating you like a drum, now by over 60,000 votes. When are you going to respect the will of the American people? — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @realDonaldTrump: FYI, you lost Arizona. @JoeBiden beat you like a drum. He has 306 electoral votes, which you previously described as a landslide. When are you going to respect the will of the American people? — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @realDonaldTrump: After more than two-thirds of Wisconsin counties audited the votes, the result was @JoeBiden increased his lead by 157 votes. You lost Wisconsin. And Michigan. And Pennsylvania. And Arizona, GA & NV. When will you respect the will of the American people? — PolitiTweet.org

RT @MSignorile: Great conversation on today’s show with @tedlieu as always! @RepTedLieu — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

This presidential election between @JoeBiden and @realDonaldTrump was not close. The only reason it feels close is because of the undemocratic, antiquated electoral college. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @mcuban: Thank you for supporting food banks. I also note that the federal government has a huge role in addressing food insecurity, from SNAP to agricultural policies to the Farm to Food Bank Program. It is unwise and misleading to act as if US Senators don’t matter. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

So @realDonaldTrump apparently wants to try the “faithless” elector strategy now and convince **Dem** electors to reject Biden’s convincing win. Take a look at the electors from Georgia. They will crawl over glass to cast their vote for @JoeBiden, the winner in Georgia. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Why is the “faithless” elector strategy not only unconstitutional, but also stupid? Because the @realDonaldTrump campaign would need to convince a large number of **Democratic** electors to reject Biden’s clear win. For example, the 16 electors from GA will all be Dems. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @realDonaldTrump: Oh look, your lawyers won’t lie for you in court. They aren’t alleging fraud. They aren’t saying anyone is trying to steal the election. And even if they win the frivolous suit that affects only a tiny number of ballots, it still doesn’t change the outcome. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

I agree with Mitch McConnell’s statements below. Wait, did I just write that sentence? — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Over 247,000 Americans have died from #Covid_19 and there were over 142,000 *new* cases in just one day yesterday. So what is @realDonaldTrump focused on today? The Golden Goose and news ratings. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Let me be clear: THERE IS NO ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM FOR CONGRESSIONAL SUBPOENAS. The only route is litigation, which takes **years**. But you know what will fix this problem? Exercising Congress’ power of Inherent Contempt. We can make that House Rules change next week. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @realDonaldTrump: Your fake Twitter rantings don’t get repeated in court by your lawyers. Why? Because courts require evidence. Can’t just make stuff up. Also, your loss in PA is not close. Biden beat you like a drum and his lead keeps getting bigger. #ThursdayThoughts — PolitiTweet.org

Oh look, the 7,538,926 data point showing #climatechange is happening and causing more extreme weather events, just as scientists predicted decades ago. The @GOP is on the wrong side of this issue. Physics & chemistry do not compromise, nor do they care about political ideology. — PolitiTweet.org
