Democrats catastrophize, Democrats listen to their opposition and take their concerns seriously, Democrats take criticism (from the right, not from the left) seriously and adjust and respond (this would be a good trait were it more balanced.)

Stop it. Simply claim it was the best debate ever, best debate performance ever. Highest energy Biden we'd ever seen. Say it over and over and move on. That is how the Republicans would do.

I have a terrible bug & have felt horrid for 2 days, but seriously awful today. If this is what President Joe #Biden had at the #debate, I respect him even more. I couldn’t debate a clump of dirt right now let alone a raging lunatic under Klieg lights on live TV for 90 minutes. My whole head feels like a cartoon thumb that was hit with a hammer.

In Oklahoma they are passing a law to mandate a Bible be in every classroom.

I don't have as much of an issue with this as I do with hanging the (Protestant Evangelical) ten commandments on the wall. The Bible, like many other religious texts is an important book...

Just one little question:

Which Bible?

Ya'll say "The Bible" like you have a Pope and there is only one. That's not true. So... which one?

If you don't know then maybe you are not qualified to make such mandates.

I can't believe I even have to say this, but it is not normal that the Supreme Court is taking its sweet time to decide if a former president is immune from prosecution for inciting an insurrection to overturn an election. This should have been decided already. The answer is no!

75% of voters support a binding ethics code for the Supreme Court.

They're tired of justices receiving millions of dollars in gifts from political donors, some of whom have cases before the court.

So why did Senate Republicans block a SCOTUS ethics bill yesterday?

Hello?

#LindseyGraham, says #Trump wants a #spectacle of “hundreds of thousands” of people being marched out of the country.

“…when he gets to be president, not only is he gonna secure the #border, he’s going to #deport hundreds of thousands of people here illegally. And if you wanna shut down illegal #immigration, those coming need to see an outflow by the tens & hundreds of thousands. That will deter. The only #policy change that will work is to have #MassDeportations.”

“They will keep coming until they see people leaving.

Trump has threatened a 10% tariff on all imports.

Tariffs can be used strategically, but a blanket tariff is effectively just a sales tax on American consumers.

Trump's tariff tax would cost the average family an extra $1,500 year.

Just a reminder:
The RNC emails were hacked by Russia and to this day were never made public, while the Trump family now runs the RNC.

#TrumpTrial Thurs 30 May 2024 🧵#Deliberations continue

Justice #Merchan says he believes that the #jury wants him to repeat a significant portion of the #JuryInstructions.

He will read pages 6-35.

Each page yesterday took him just a little more than a minute, so this will take >30 mins.

Between that & the testimony readbacks, also expected to take >30 mins, there will likely be >1 hour this morning w/the jury in the courtroom, not actively deliberating.

#TrumpTrial 🧵 Thursday 16 May 2024

Cross-examination of #MichaelCohen resumes, an opportunity for the defense to poke holes in his testimony & perhaps trip up or provoke the state’s key witness. The questioning of Cohen, #Trump’s fmr fixer, is the beginning of the end of Trump’s #criminal trial, which began April 15 & might conclude before Memorial Day weekend at this pace.

#TrumpTrial Tues 14 May, 2024 🧵

#Trump has his posse again. Today it’s more #Republican elected officials. Today, Trump will be joined by the #House speaker, #MikeJohnson, as well as #NorthDakota’s governor, #DougBurgum, a contender to be Trump's running mate. Also present will be Representatives #ByronDonalds & #CoryMills of Florida, & #VivekRamaswamy, who was one of Trump's primary rivals this year. Both Donalds & Ramaswamy are longshot hopefuls to be Trump's running mate.
