This. All damn day. I couldn't agree more.
This is what America voted for.

The nation voted for a president who is immune from prosecution, who is above the law.

The nation voted to give a party that attempted a coup control of the entire federal government.

The next time the declining dotard claims he aced another cognitive test, some hero should hand him a pencil and a piece of paper and ask him to draw a clock.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Teach a man who hates socialism and votes for authoritarianism to farm and he can receive socialist handouts for life from the government that bankrupted him in the first place.

So. Rep Crockett announced her TX campaign for US Senate.

Good.

Voters get a choice in the primary. They can research the candidates, find their positions on issues and choose.

She's getting ultra-gerrymandered out of her Rep seat, so why not take the shot.

It's a primary. Not a coliseum fight.

It’s important to remember that Laura Ingraham went to Dartmouth. She’s not as stupid as she sounds. She’s just a shameless liar.

Incredibly galling to hear Sauer talk about how the president is accountable to the public through elections, when the president he's referring to is one who attempted to illegally overturn an election he lost

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.

Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.

When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

New, from me: by embracing unitary executive theory, the Supreme Court is moving towards making all public employees fireable at the will of the President.

This will not just hurt government competence, it will aid democratic backsliding. 🧵

At will? Whose will?
