Sir, have you no shame? This is an insult to anyone with an accent, anyone who fled communism, anyone born abroad. Your own ancestors were slurred for being born in elsewhere, were they not? Abhorrent. I’ll say what she could not… to hell with you!

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA): “I don’t know whether to call you professor or comrade.” Someone off-camera: “Oh my goodness.” Dr. Saule Omarova, Biden’s comptroller currency pick: “I’m not a communist. I do not subscribe to that ideology. I could not choose where I was born.”

Team Trump has just released a new video ad that opens by describing their chief as "the kind of person who does not take No for an answer" - which pretty accurately describes his violent reaction to 81 million Americans telling him he couldn't be president any more.

DeJoy has proven himself ill-suited to the challenges facing @USPS. Today, I urged @POTUS to swiftly fill vacant seats on the USPS's Board – which has the power to dismiss the Postmaster General – so they may seriously consider his fitness for the role. washingtonpost.com/business/…

Just thinking about images of text and how I can’t read them. I have apps that can scan/read said image, but annoying that I have to leave Twitter any time someone posts an image of text or does one of those fave album posts as only images. Be cool if you thought about it too. 💛
It was also a reminder that while he may be a demagogue and a wanna-be autocrat, he is very bad at it.

Since Joe Biden won the Democratic nomination, the election has played out mainly as a referendum on Donald Trump’s record as President—and his dissembling about the coronavirus is in plain view. nyer.cm/hbYiXI7

McConnell adjourned the Senate until Sept 14. An entire month. No relief bill passed in the Senate. He wasn't even involved in negotiating one. He just left. With tens of millions not getting a $600 a week payment. He just left. With long lines at food banks. He just left.

America was founded on the promise of equality, liberty, and justice for all — and it's long past time we lived up to it.

I’m tired of the argument that Trump was kneecapped by twin crises of racial unrest and Covid-19. These were actually opportunities to unite the country. True leaders rise to challenges and gain in trust when they handle crises responsibly. Trump can’t blame anyone but himself.

22: The number of times Donald Trump has tweeted in defense of the Confederacy. 0: The number of times Donald Trump has tweeted about our fallen soldiers Putin plotted to kill. America deserves a president that defends our heroes, not our traitors.
