How is it that 6 people that aren’t even physicians get to control the medical decisions for every woman in the country?

Trump LOST: the presidency, the House, the Senate, the trust of American voters, the belief in free and fair elections, the credibility of the Republican Party, the admiration of our allies, the fear of our enemies. What exactly are Republicans defending?

At this late a stage, resignations help little beyond serving as late attempts at self-preservation. If Sec. Chao objects to yesterday’s events this deeply, she should be working the Cabinet to invoke the 25th amendment - not abdicating the seat that allows her to do so.
Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao is resigning, per two officials. Cites yesterday’s events as reason in email to DOT colleagues, per draft. First Cabinet secretary to resign. Chao is married to Mitch McConnell. More TK.

Pardon the language here, but I asked a House Democrat who is locked in his office whether Congress will reconvene tonight and finish its business. He replied: “Yep. We’re going back. Fuck these assholes.”

So everyone thought on 1/1/21 everything was gonna be good again #GoodBye2020 #Hello2021
So Trump has access to the nuclear codes but he can't Tweet or post to Facebook.

I can’t get on an airplane with a bottle of water but this #mob can storm the #CapitolBuilding and take control of both chambers. Something wrong here
.@JoeBiden: “The scenes of chaos at the Capitol do not reflect a true America, do not represent who we are. What we’re seeing is a small number of extremists dedicated to lawlessness. This is not dissent, it’s disorder, it’s chaos, it borders on sedition, and it must end now.”

The refusal of Republican leaders to acknowledge the results of the presidential election is not just an attack on Biden. It is an attack on American democracy, and shows the degree to which the Republican party is moving toward authoritarianism.

Genuine question for the media / law enforcement: why are you calling these armed neo-nazi groups breaking the law “militias” instead of “gangs” or “domestic terrorist groups?”

This tweet is aging well #DitchMitch2020 #termlimits
The American people will choose the next president who in turn will nominate the next Supreme Court justice. #LetThePeopleDecide
Scary fact: a former reality TV star and pageant judge will make 3 lifetime appointments to the #SupremeCourt. Let that sink in for a minute. #VoteHimOut2020

So will the daily testing in the Big Ten be available to all students or just the ones who have entire economies built off their free labor? Asking for the students who pay tuition.

Whether you're excited or not, cast your damn vote. This is an existential moment in American history. For the sake of our democracy, Trump must be defeated.
