"It's hard to fathom that you are gone, depriving the world of your wit, honesty, tenaciousness, warmth and incredible kindness." @WhenIs2001 away last week with his mom beside him, after fighting courageously. He hadn't stopped fighting, but cancer won.

This. In a single sentence, here's the blunt and definitive answer to fretful GOP exiles who are upset that the Democratic Party can't make them welcome and comfortable enough. God knows, they did little enough as their last political home became an amoral, intolerant shithouse.

Hey, @DoorDash, gotta love a dasher who’s all over the map, doesn’t reply to messages, says he’s waiting on food when restaurant says no one’s shown up, and leaves you starving almost an hour after ordering, huh? 🤬

Under no circumstances should the House vote for a McConnell-only bill w/ no negotiation with Democrats. Hell no. That’s an abdication of power we should refuse to accept. They will keep hurting kids if we do.

The Supreme Court's ruling blocking the citizenship question on the 2020 Census is a welcome relief—but the Court has left open the possibility that the Trump administration could still add a citizenship question to the Census. And if they do, I have a plan for that.

Solid retort
it's true that Bernie Sanders has never been a Democrat but unlike half the Democrats he has also never been a Republican

Justin Kennedy signed off on Trump’s loans at money laundromat Deutsche Bank when no bank wanted to give him money. Justin‘s father is Justice Anthony Kennedy, who happened to retire abruptly to make way for Trump’s Brett Kavanaugh. I want a damn explanation for that shady shit.

More thoughts coming as I continue to write. The short of it: it's a remarkable night for progressives, leftists, and democratic socialists in New York. @AOC was no fluke. Politics in NYC is in a realignment. The old guard continues to fall.

Let’s not mince words. What is occurring with these kids at the border is a crime against humanity. And watching Rep. Michael Burgess of Texas dissemble on @chrislhayes shows how monstrous Republican lawmakers can be. Monstrous.
