Do you remember when Galileo asked the Catholic
philosophers to look through his new telescope to see the craters on the moon...and they said " We don't need to look because we know that they are not there ' ?
It's pitiful that so many Republicans can't face reality

Just had to go through a metal detector before entering the House floor. Some colleagues are frustrated (guess which ones) by this requirement. Now they know how HS students in my district feel. Suck it up buttercups. Y’all brought this on yourselves.

Never thought I’d say this but I miss the Dead-Poets-Society-dad kind of Republican.

Any member of the House of Representatives that votes against accepting the election results from their home state, the very same process that elected them, should not be seated in the 117th Congress... #SeditiousGOP r/t of you agree...

Rand Paul tried to lecture Black lawmakers on the definition of lynching. Kamala Harris delivered her response. I was going to take a snippet from the 7 minutes to highlight but I couldn’t. The entire speech is powerful and one that’ll go down in history.

George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.

When you connect with people who are good for you, you feel it. This is a big deal. Don’t forget to acknowledge how great it is to be around someone who lights you up. Tell them, even if you feel a little weird. Your people love your weirdness.

Trump is terrifying Canada with his threat that he will start taxing Canadian car companies.
Oh wait. No he isn’t. There are no Canadian car companies.

Neil Simon was a clutch hitter. When we needed the punchline on Your Show of Shows he delivered. He also delivered 32 plays and over 20 movies. He was one of the sweetest & least jealous writers you could ever work with. For all who knew him, this is a truly sad day.

Gerald cared for his mom's neglected plants. Grateful, a fern felt compelled to speak, "Thank you." Terrified, he got rid of the plants.
