    (ENDORSEMENT) Please RETWEET if—like me—you enthusiastically endorse for President of the United States. I've lived and voted in both Iowa and New Hampshire and—while I'll —I believe Warren is the *right choice* for the Democratic Party and America.

  2. PS/ We've been told a thousand times that this was a "100% partisan" impeachment—though the GOP had to toss Amash from its caucus to ensure that that'd be the case. But either way, if a GOP senator votes to convict on even 1 article, how do you call the impeachment 100% partisan?

  3. This framing is a bit odd, as when opposition to impeachment was bipartisan, it was treated as a big deal—indeed, it became one of Trump's most successful "defenses." So why is the question of whether one GOP senator will vote to convict on at least one article *not* a big deal?

  4. PS/ I think we (me included) carried over from the pre-digital age a belief that a president saying something makes it important. But does it? When this president tweets up to 140 times/day? Maybe we need a national conversation about which Trump comments ought *not* be reported.

  5. Was anything he said "newsworthy" by the standard of newsworthiness journalists used for 100 years? Maybe we should start asking that again. In the digital age, where everyone is talking (often nonsense) all the time, it's *not* true that *everything* a POTUS says is newsworthy.

  7. PS2/ To be clear, I'm only saying this is the situation—see last tweet—if Bloomberg keeps this up and is constantly in a war of words with Trump, which really is wrestling with a pig. Maybe that's his plan—maybe it's not. What happened tonight could be a one-off. Guess we'll see.

  9. PS/ That said, whoever goes down this road *won't* be the one who wins. The one who wins will be the one who benefits from someone else having gone down this road. Bloomberg is, in effect, taking one for the team—dooming his campaign but doing what needs to be done. My two cents.

  10. When a man as deeply flawed—in every possible respect a human can be flawed—acts like a grade-school bully on an international scale, this is what happens. No sympathy from me for Donald Trump.

    This is a hard moment for our country. But we still have our voices and our votes—and if we use them now and in November, we can restore decency and integrity in Washington.

  14. Poor guy was just trying to find a place in America where no one's talking about Trump and Trump's voice can't be heard so he could rest for a minute in my book he's a damn hero

    Trump has been president for three years now, and you can feel the fear across the country. We have a choice to make: Will we let the fear pull us back, or are we going to fight back? Me, I'm fighting back. Because fighting back is an act of patriotism.

    My decision to run was an enormous act of optimism—a belief in what we could do together. A year later, I’m more optimistic than ever because I believe in the power of the grassroots movement. We will build the America of our future. This is our moment in history.

  17. Fun fact you can play in the Super Bowl wearing gloves the same color as penalty flags and wave them around on each play confusing everybody

    Question: "How do you feel?" Sen. Elizabeth Warren: "I feel good."

  20. TBH I consider the Super Bowl halftime show to be the worst non-Trump-related thing that happens each year

  21. Give him this message for me: yes, they *totally* sold out, but that's part of the point of Rick & Morty, it's galactically exhausted post-cynicism and therefore just about the only artwork that can sell out and the selling out (plus overcoming the selling out) is part of the art
