With both Facebook and Twitter reinstating Trump, it’s imperative we remind people these are not reputable news outlets. They are loosely regulated social media platforms highly susceptible to bots, trolls, and disinformation peddlers.
Don’t be an easy mark.

This is truly wild. Plus, if you look at the photo, Carroll is exactly his type.

The craziest thing about Trump confusing E Jean Carroll—who's accused him of rape—with Marla Maples isn't even that it undercuts his (specious) "not my type" defense.
IT IS THAT HE WAS MARRIED TO MAPLES FOR SIX YEARS AND MISTOOK HER FOR A WOMAN HE SAYS HE MET ONCE OR TWICE! twitter.com/MotherJones/st…

I’ve always been open to discovering new or alternate perspectives. That’s what journalism means to me. But those perspectives have to be grounded in fact. I’m super ok not seeing opinions from disinformation peddlers or getting input from people who lob insults like this.

Instead of showing me tweets from people I follow, Twitter is feeding me tweets from random people b/c people I follow follow them. This is super dumb and defeats the purpose of Twitter which, for me, always has been about seeing info from people I personally respect and trust.

If you can’t grasp the difference between finding improperly stored classified docs that you immediately turn over to NARA vs. obstructing and lying in a federal investigation regarding improperly stored classified docs, I cannot help you.

There is absolutely no reason House Democrats should compromise in any way to help Republicans out of this jam. This a self-inflicted embarrassment, and the deserves every moment of it.

GOP lawmakers like Josh Hawley who didn't attend Zelensky's speech b/c they 'don't want to send money abroad' would be more believable if they advocated spending on domestic programs. But they don't suport Medicare or Social Security or anything that helps working class Americans

Who did Hunter Biden snub in high school? Is that it? Because I still don’t really understand why the GOP is so irrationally obsessed with him.

This is the biggest crock of bullshit, and shame on for allowing to lie so blatantly. Trump doesn’t feel remorse. He doesn’t apologize. I’m pretty sure he couldn’t even tell you Pence’s daughter’s name. What a joke.

Think about what kind of self-important POS you have to be to see your party finally able to take some less-obstructed steps towards progress and decide you need to be the fly in the ointment and make yourself the story. #Sinema

Oh, so now Republican members of Congress are willing to admit the officers who fought to protect them against Trump on Jan 6th are worthy of acknowledgement? What took so f*cking long?

Pretty good clue here as to the thinking that shaped the alleged shooter.
Quote Tweet
The Colorado shooter’s dad on finding out his son murdered people: “They started telling me about the incident, a shooting... And then I go on to find out it’s a gay bar. I got scared, ‘Shit, is he gay?’ And he’s not gay, so I said, phew… I am a conservative Republican.” (@CBS8)

Winning the Georgia Senate runoff means more than just giving the Dems a 51 seat majority. It means subpoena power. It means the Democrats can continue the Jan.6 Committee’s work. It means oversight of the threat of MAGA Fascism. To keep our Democracy on track, Vote Warnock!

The veteran hero who subdued the gunman at Club Q owns an award-winning Brewery called Atrevida Beer in Colorado. It has a merch shop and gift cards. Wouldn’t it be a shame if we bought every single thing they had in their entire inventory?

I’m scarred from the outcome of the Mueller investigation and have little faith appointing a Special Counsel will go any differently this time around. I hope I’m very wrong.

I've always preferred Twitter to other socials, but if I have to get more creative with pictures, so be it. Name is the same on IG. You're welcome to come hang with me there. I think I can do some of the same political commentary, but it definitely will include 100% more cats.

I have the utmost respect for and her extraordinary accomplishments. I also agree it’s time for the next generation of party leadership. However, that leadership needs to be steady, strategic, and well-studied in congressional history. There is no room for hubris.

Trump hammering Biden on gaffes is rich and screams for a reminder compilation of all the times Trump misspoke or … I don’t know … incited a mob to attack Congress.

Anyone planning to run against Trump can start lining up the “well that’s a lie” comebacks now because his rhetoric never changes. It’s the same tired bullshit over and over again.
