The GOP’s refusal to acknowledge President-elect Biden’s victory undermines democracy. As states certify results & judges strike down frivolous challenges to the outcome, they push baseless conspiracy theories. If they value power over the Constitution, we have big problems. — PolitiTweet.org

In 2017, the GOP moved heaven & earth to provide trillions in tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans. Now working Americans are in crisis & worried about their job, their housing & keeping their utilities on. Mitch McConnell’s inaction has gone on for too long. We need relief now. — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks 155 years of the 13th Amendment. It also marks 155 years of a loophole that was designed to continue slavery in America by weaponizing the criminal justice system against Black Americans.

This is what an economic crisis looks like. This is the direct result of a failure to control the virus. We’ve still not recovered millions of jobs that were lost in the earliest days of the pandemic and the pandemic is worse than ever.
