Oh. My. God.
I just realized Ken Cucinelli is still one of the top officials at DHS, in charge of security at the swearing-in and across the country.
God help us.

Some people ask: Why would you impeach and convict a president who has only a few days left in office? The answer: Precedent. It must be made clear that no president, now or in the future, can lead an insurrection against the U.S. government.

All of a sudden Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans are worried that someone in America might get a $2,000 check "who doesn't need it."
Funny. They had no problem giving a $1.4 billion tax break to Charles Koch and his family with a net worth of $113 billion. What hypocrisy!

Young, healthy Senator, who spoke at rallies packed w/thousands w/o masks, who supports Trump -who’s down-played COVID & mocked those who wear masks, is 1st to get vaccine while most medical workers, elderly & infirm Americans, wait.
Congratulations on ur privilege, @marcorubio.

Blue states send more tax dollars to Washington than they get back. Red states get back more than they contribute. So if red states want to secede -- as the Texas GOP chairman suggests -- blue states will be able to keep our money. We’ll be far better off financially.

Trump lost popular vote by +7MM.
Trump lost Electoral College 232 to 306.
Trump lost every single recount.
Trump lost +/- 50 court challenges.
Trump lost in Supreme Court.
Trump, enabled by Republicans who’ve lost their dignity, has gained +$200MM in donations.
It’s a damn scam.
Give it a listen!
It’s not much, but Chicago Song has cleared 1K streams on Spotify. If you’ve streamed it, thank you ❤️

The messaging, or lack thereof, on masks drives me nuts. I get it. Some people don’t want to wear masks. But we have no problem wearing the mantle of selfishness and stupidity?

112 co-sponsors of Medicare for All were on the ballot. All of them won.
98 co-sponsors of the Green New Deal were on the ballot. Only 1 lost.
Supporting Medicare for All and the Green New Deal is not just good public policy.
It is also good politics.
Chicago, this one's for you (everybody else can totally listen to it, too).

What happens next matters.
In the past, efforts to build "unity" and "consensus" in Washington have too often meant turning over the keys to giant corporations and their lobbyists.
We can't let that happen again.
