I looked into Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill expecting it to be overhyped/DOA and found the opposite. It’s on the fast track, has the support of DeSantis/powerful media figures like @benshapiro, and would put gay teachers + kids like mine in the closet. https://t.co/jDDGIVb9tO

“What we are seeing is nothing less than the normalization of early-stage authoritarianism…They’re asking, right now, ‘When can we use the guns?’ Americans would rather believe that the crisis has passed. But it hasn’t. The lights are still flashing red.” https://t.co/PV58WCGqUu

This, from Acting Sec Def Miller, is pretty striking: "On the afternoon of January 5, I received a call from the President in connection with a rally by his supporters that day...He commented that 'they' were going to need 10,000 troops the following day." https://t.co/ogTjglQEgb

“Some observers seem less concerned about the murder of George Floyd and more concerned about...Joe Biden & Maxine Waters & Don Lemon, who somehow managed to pressure the jury into convicting Chauvin...Probably because they were afraid of cancel culture.” https://t.co/8HFAl203v8

"Why would Republicans rush into a high-profile fight where they’re on the wrong side of public opinion by nearly 3-to-1? And weaken their presidential nominee and make vulnerable senators even more vulnerable? Because they believe Trump is going to lose." https://t.co/5Vo3YFVToL

“I have people in my life who are dear to me and are Trump supporters. All are over the age of 60. Several have compromised immune systems....Trump has been gambling with their lives. It is the most irresponsible action I have ever seen from a politician.” https://t.co/SndR2V15Nv

"Whatever the case for either Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren...neither is going to be the nominee. And...it’s not going to be Mike Bloomberg either. So it’s Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden." Tomorrow, if you live in one of 14 states, you can choose Biden. https://t.co/btuPbGtWxG

Everyone knows that President Trump takes his talking points from Fox News. But did you ever wonder who you’d find if you looked a little further upstream? You’ll never guess. Okay, you probably will. It’s Russia. It’s always Russia. https://t.co/ZjEQZvnBgx via @BulwarkOnline

"McConnell may be the majority leader of the Senate, but senators are not sheep. Or at least if they are, it is only by their own choosing. If three or more Republican senators now join Democrats in insisting [on a] full and fair trial," it could happen. https://t.co/HsHSTRy4pb

It’s time for a constitutional caucus. “A small number of responsible Republican senators...could form a constitutional caucus. Or a bipartisan group of senators could [do so]. They can determine what the outlines of a full and fair trial would look like.” https://t.co/HsHSTRy4pb
