I just saw someone say something online that really resonated with me: that with a flick of her wrist Pelosi may well have—in the view of history—overshadowed Trump's whole speech. There's a sense in which there's huge power and courage in that—how an act of resistance resonates.

Alert me when @SpeakerPelosi sexually assaults someone, mocks the disabled, tears a child from their parents, pays off a porn star, insults a gold star family, calls nazis fine people, denies science, steals from a charity, or starts a fake university. Until then, take a seat.

For those of you playing at home, it’s the squaring of the pages before tearing them in half that raises Madam Speaker’s gesture from craftsmanship to artistry. #SOTU

Seems to me like Pelosi took a page out of Trump’s playbook and stole the spotlight away. No one’s talking about the speech now.

It's how disinformation works.https://twitter.com/MEPFuller/status/1224879557192421377 …

A great use of your next hour: Double-check your voter registration and ask two friends to do the same.

Traditionally, the Speaker says: "Members of Congress, I have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the President of the United States." Speaker Pelosi said "Members of Congress, the President of the United States."

Brian Williams on @MSNBC: "Worth noting: the President will deliver the State of the Union in the very room where he was impeached 48 days ago."

Has somebody tried turning Iowa off and turning it back on again?

when people say I swear too much I’m like “well in my defense I read the news”

People of color aren’t responsible to educate white people on segregation, racism, social injustice, criminal injustice or oppression. White people need to research it for them fucking selves.

This is a real sticking point for me. And it’s a BIG differentiator between candidates. If half or less of your base will support another Dem candidate, that’s a serious problem your campaign needs to address immediately.

Hillary Clinton is doing what she always does, she is telling us what we need to know before we vote And she has been proven correct on every issue

When Sen. Susan Collins dies I hope she is placed in a pit of searing lava for all eternity with a very nice lady next to the pit who could pull her out and always considers pulling her out but never pulls her out.

If Democrats take the Senate in 2020, they will convene on Jan 1, which will give them 20 days to impeach Trump before the new President is inaugurated on Jan. 20. That’s plenty of time.
