@TSA even at pre-check your ppl are always rude and terrible. What do you do to them to make them so mean?

Colorado workers who believe they have been mistreated at work because of their identity are increasingly turning to the courts to adjudicate. And the plaintiffs are equal opportunity litigants. dpo.st/3ao7bNm

The 50 Senate Ds represent over 41.5 million more Americans than the 50 Senate Rs. But the filibuster gives the Rs power to kill legislation supported by the vast majority. It's undemocratic. It's not in the Constitution. It can be eliminated with just 51 votes. End it now.
Yesterday I wouldn’t have agreed, but @ezraklein makes a compelling argument.
Democrats have a lot of good ideas to help people fast, and visibly. They have good ideas for deepening democracy, like the "For The People Act." But if they let Senate Republicans filibuster everything, they will lose in 2022, and they will deserve it. nytimes.com/2021/01/21/opini…

My @propublica colleagues did something extraordinary: they obtained hundreds of participant videos from the Capitol assault and organized them by time & location so that you can scroll through, fully immersed in the event with never-before seen vantages. projects.propublica.org/parl…

For those who are wondering why so much attention has been focused on the response of the Capitol Police to the Trump-inspired riots, here’s a data-driven article that provides some useful frame of reference.

The man seen smiling and waving at the camera while carrying the lectern of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been arrested in Florida. Jail records show Adam Johnson is being held on a federal warrant. nbcmiami.com/news/local/man-…
Serious question: Instead of expelling @tedcruz and @HawleyMO for their role, why not impeach them and bar them from future office? @SenSchumer @SpeakerPelosi

I want Trump to be removed so that every 5th grader who asks “why was Mike Pence President for 2 days” hears a story about why white supremacy & fascism are threats to democracy. Millions of students in the next decades will ask this question and will know to reject fascism.

It has not escaped my attention that the day social media companies decided there actually IS more they could do to police Trump’s destructive behavior was the same day they learned Democrats would chair all the congressional committees that oversee them.

It took 159 years, but a mob marching behind a confederate flag has stormed the US Capitol. They are doing so on @realDonaldTrump’s express orders.
