I’m with Schiff on the need for this kind of legislation, but a Senate that refused even to debate the For the People Act isn’t likely to move on Trump-proofing the White House — with or without Biden’s support. Politics is the art of the possible. https://t.co/IOcW1S90aZ — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve vigorously attacked some of this AG’s acts & omissions but believe Rubin has prematurely inferred a passivity toward wrongs by Trump & his DOJ gang that I think misjudges Garland’s actual stance. He needs & deserves a bit more time. Watch this space. https://t.co/M4Uz9uD3q5 — PolitiTweet.org

According to scientists at the U.S. National Institutes of Health, an estimated 20 million Americans were likely infected with Covid-19 by mid-July of last year—17 million more than the 3 million previously thought. — PolitiTweet.org

.@Indiawaltonbflo is a phenomenon. She had a baby at 14, medically challenged twins at 19, yet managed to become a nurse and is now poised to become mayor of a big city. Jaw-dropping how anyone could climb such a mountain. — PolitiTweet.org

I agree with Marc Elias that these protections are sorely needed. Getting the sclerotic Senate, whose Democratic majority is paper thin and skin deep, to act on these needs is another matter. https://t.co/UvZifL5sZ2 — PolitiTweet.org

Getting our heads around big numbers: A thousand seconds ago = around ¼ hour ago A million seconds ago = around 12 days ago A billion seconds ago = around 32 years ago (1989) A trillion seconds ago = around 32,000 years ago, during the Pleistocene Epoch (era of cave paintings) — PolitiTweet.org

Bob Dylan’s “work is never too far from the larger American mythos emanating from its rough and rowdy past, with its gamblers, prophets, false prophets, and outlaws, from Billy the Kid to Lenny Bruce” https://t.co/HdfZQzj8G8 — PolitiTweet.org

“For a historian, it was fascinating, even thrilling to read, in Dylan’s memoir, of the young rising artist’s visiting the New York Public Library and researching in American newspapers from the Civil War era on microfilm to help calm his mind.”  https://t.co/gCRYF8ipym — PolitiTweet.org

“There are no immediate plans to vote on the Equality Act, which would add sexual orientation and gender identity to the protected classes of the 1964 Civil Rights Act alongside race, color, religion and national origin.” Again, the hangup is the Senate. https://t.co/MekmapUeiY — PolitiTweet.org

A 37-year-old aid worker, son of a U.S. citizen, was arrested and tortured in 2018 for criticizing the regime. In February, he told his family he’d soon be released. But after Biden’s decision he was hauled into court and sentenced to 20 years in prison. https://t.co/mHluvDOWLX — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s why I describe Jan. 6 as "an essentially cannibalistic and fratricidal act of sabotage” — a "violent and indeed literally deadly act of naked aggression by the executive branch against the legislative branch,” unparalleled in American history: https://t.co/6WOrLfYDta — PolitiTweet.org

“With abortion governed by a viability standard, women and babies are pitted against each other. Every advance that can save a wanted baby delivered early is a further constraint on women who do not want to carry their children to term.” Undeniable? https://t.co/wJtcEl4dc5 — PolitiTweet.org

When religious prelates go beyond participating in political life, which is their right, and try to control political outcomes, they step into quicksand and risk drowning both themselves and their flock. Beware!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! https://t.co/d2W4nYVQzJ — PolitiTweet.org

Condolences, @POTUS & @FLOTUS. Some of my closest friends have been living canine companions, none of whom I ever took for granted or dared to feel I “owned.” To me, pets were never my “property.” They were never merely “things.” All animal abusers are potential serial killers. — PolitiTweet.org
