RT @AOC: People think it’s a joke when folks say we have to work 2x as hard for the same seat. Whether you believe it or not, the upside is when we do get here,we’re used to being held to a diff bar. To being doubted. To getting new hoops thrown @ us last min. So we know how to perform. https://t.co/uB4KOXyRgN
RT @justinbaragona: Rick Santorum has a unique defense for why there have been so many lies in the Trump orbit when it comes to Russia. Trump "doesn't tell the truth about a lot of things fairly consistently. So the fact that he's not telling the truth about Russia... why is that any different?" https://t.co/CNisZw6n3t
RT @dabeard: “The law was not written for us.” How the agency responsible for stopping workplace discrimination has been stripped of employees (chart) and weakened. Workers who face nooses at work and widespread bias are not being protected https://t.co/hFNNQPKVky @Publici @voxdotcom https://t.co/sekdAu9NYq
RT @CBSNews: President Trump says he has confronted Kim Jong Un about the death of American college student Otto Warmbier, who was detained in North Korea. But he doesn't believe Kim knew about what happened: "I don't believe that he would have allowed that to happen...He felt badly about it" https://t.co/f4ePXAnTp8
RT @AdamParkhomenko: Trump sides with Kim in the Otto Warmbier death using very familiar language: "You have a lot of people. And some really bad things happened to Otto. Some really, really bad things. But he tells me that he didn't know about it, and I will take him at his word." https://t.co/nYnZpKKiDy

RT @shaunking: Here he is AGAIN, in 2012, when @RepMarkMeadows was asked if he would confront Obama over not being born in the United States, he said "We will send him (Obama) back home to Kenya or wherever it is." Yes @MarkMeadows - you are a racist and have been for a long time. https://t.co/L8w8QXFF7N
RT @shaunking: I need you to see the longer version of this bigoted video from Congressman @MarkMeadows. It's 4 minutes of pure bigotry. Not only was the question disgusting, but @RepMarkMeadows relished in the bigotry from his fellow panelist, Vance Patterson, then joined in himself. https://t.co/I8F3L27giM

RT @shaunking: LISTEN TO ME. You can be FULLY racist AND: 1. Hire a Black person. 2. Have Black grandchildren. 3. Have a Black friend. 4. Never call Black people niggers out loud. 5. Like Black art & culture. 6. Root for Black athletes. 7. Get really mad when you are called a racist. https://t.co/zPbuDashor
RT @AOC: Thanks! Bartending + waitressing (especially in NYC) means you talk to 1000s of people over the years. Forces you to get great at reading people + hones a razor-sharp BS detector. Just goes to show that what some consider to be “unskilled labor” can actually be anything but 😉 https://t.co/pcVKe5XKdm

RT @abbydphillip: The WH is suggesting this was about North Korea, but President Trump was the person getting questions he didn’t like. Amazing that the WH would try to mimic an autocratic press environment in which only pictures, not questions are allowed of the President of the United States. https://t.co/ehAwFvhFtF

RT @shaunking: Here’s the tweet from 2013 where Trump bragged that someone paid $60,000 for his portrait. We just learned that he faked the purchase himself, paid for it with funds from his own charity, then displayed it at one of his country clubs. This was illegal according to NY State law https://t.co/SIYLc38CYU
