I am unreservedly thrilled to see this move by the White House. I would love to see a bully pulpit tour of all of the red states pushing extremist laws and attacks on Americans. Shine the light on them! — Kamala Harris to meet with ousted TN House members

Watch what's happening in Florida, Texas, Tennessee, Idaho & other red states that are rapidly becoming fascist dystopias--denying women, people of color, voters, retirees, families, and children their rights. This is America's nightmare now. It is much bigger than Trump.

As a journalist who works there can I just say, 😯 Respectfully is an idiot. has 3 sources of revenue, but direct government funding is NOT one of them! I have been in this business more than 35 years and have been “bought”by no one!

Leslie Stahl’s interview isn’t a one-off atrocity. It’s just one symptom of the media turning a blind eye to fascism. In just the last two weeks alone, the mainstream media have refused to recognize the threat posed by the Republican party and its de facto leader, Donald Trump.… Show more

I warn you, this power grab over Black woman prosecutors for exercising their discretion in ways that threaten the privileged, challenge unjust convictions & address inequities is a serious, dangerous, powerful threat to democracy.

Twitter is such a cesspool, tweet after tweet about Monterey Park hours before any info was released, from hate crimes, terrorism & white supremacy 🤦‍♀️ Do better. 10 ppl died, that's what matters, not who or why, ppl left their house for a fun nite out & won't ever return

Ten dead in Monterey Park. I am sickened. A horrific example of needless gun violence. With bigotry toward AAPI individuals as a possible motive. The families are in my prayers as we seek information by law enforcement. We’ll never quit demanding real action on gun safety.

Grocery stores. Schools. Churches. Parades. Lunar New Year celebrations. Places everyone should feel safe. Last night’s mass shooting in Monterey Park, CA is the latest horrible reminder that Congress must act boldly and NOW to protect our people from gun violence.

A gunman has murdered ten people and injured over a dozen others in Monterey Park, where tens of thousands of Asian American families had gathered to celebrate the Lunar New Year that day. He is still at large. This should be getting way more coverage in media. A terrible act.

JUST ANNOUNCED: Jim Jordan EVERY time you trend, I will remind the world that you joked around while I testified. I'm a person with disability & chronic illness & put his health at risk to travel 100's of miles to testify: FOR MILLIONS OF AMERICANS. This is who YOU are!😡

It's two years since January 6. * The man who let them all walk away, FBI Director Chris Wray, still has a job. * The man who hasn't prosecuted the person responsible, Merrick Garland, still has a job. * And almost all the insurrection supporters in Congress still have jobs.
