At some point when this war is over, we will have to do a serious academic-level research analysis into why and how American reality tv gave us an anti-democratic misogynistic leader while Ukraine's reality tv gave it Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Several GOP Senators have dodged impeachment questions w/ excuse that they will be jurors in pending trial BUT all 53 have publicly commented on Graham’s resolution Doesn’t that render this excuse moot? AND how can any of them be impartial jurors? #AskPreet

Fifty-eight years ago this week, I was released from Mississippi State Penitentiary, also known as Parchman Farm, after being arrested at the bus station in Jackson, Mississippi for using a so-called "white" restroom during the Freedom Rides. #GoodTrouble

I think it makes a more sinister statement about the evolving definition of what “mainstream” is

Mainstream politicians implying election improprieties better have receipts or they shouldn’t be considered mainstream anymore.

Nobody cares what your relationship is. You either get him to denuclearize or you failed. That’s it. That’s what being president means. xitter.cf/joshledermanap/status/…

Reluctantly I have concluded that President Trump is a serious threat to US national security. He is refusing to protect vital US interests from active Russian attacks. It is apparent that he is for some unknown reason under the sway of Mr Putin.

17 of my classmates are gone. That’s 17 futures, 17 children, and 17 friends stolen. But you’re right, it always has to be about you. How silly of me to forget. #neveragain xitter.cf/realdonaldtrump/status…

Very sad that the FBI missed all of the many signals sent out by the Florida school shooter. This is not acceptable. They are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign - there is no collusion. Get back to the basics and make us all proud!

trump spews lots of demonstrably false contradictions -If illegal border crossings so low, why do we need a wall? -If no collusion/obstruction, why shut down the investigation? -If economy/stock market so good, why lower corporate tax rate? xitter.cf/jimsciutto/status/9583…

Question: if @CIA Director Pompeo says Russian election meddling is continuing, how can the Trump @StateDept claim the (unimplemented) new Russia sanctions are working as a deterrent? What are they deterring?
