Ted Cruz wakes up every morning with a thought bubble: 'how can I be a bigger douchebag today?'

Watching how swiftly the UK Parliament is moving on Cambridge Analytica while our Republican-led Congress refuses to even hold hearings is everything on how broken our government is right now. These people need to be voted out of office!

You knew it had to be really, really bad, and well beyond breaking the law, for Barr to resign.

Turnout so far today in Dekalb County - where Biden garnered 83% of the vote - has already exceeded that of the Nov. 3 election.

Let me break it down for you Republican Party: youโ€™re arming terrorists with automatic weapons to kill our children. The last three mass murders were at a school, a church, a concert. Nowhere is safe.

Who wants to bet that Trump sold or planned to sell classified US top secret documents for his own financial gain?

Maybe Jeff Bezosโ€™s Amazon can deliver the mail-in ballots. Suggest it and watch Trumpโ€™s head explode.

Okay, can we go back to a 26 year-old lesbian whose wife is African American won a state Senate race in Okla-fucking-homa last night - in a district Trump won +40 with 67% of vote a year ago! That's not just a shift, that's a tectonic shift.

Don't just blame Trump. Blame the Republicans eunuchs as well.

Kevin McCarthy is the worst Republican House leader I have seen in my lifetime. He is a weak, spineless man.

A reminder that Donald Jr had dinner with Butina, a Russian spy who was indicted today - shortly before he hosted the June 9 meeting at Trump Tower with more Russians.

I want to add, it's not enough for him to resign. Every person involved directly, or indirectly through knowledge and silent complicity in the attempted coup of our democracy needs to be brought to justice. We cannot rest until this is complete, however long it takes.

Mystified as to why it's not the top story today that 7 US Senator visited Moscow Tuesday for a "conciliatory" meeting with their Russian counterparts, on the same day the GOP-led Senate Intel Comm released a report that Russia interfered to elect Trump in 2016.

OMG - @LindseyGrahamSC blocked a resolution in that Senate that passed in the House 405-11 condemning Armenian genocide, after meeting with Trump and Erdogan. This is so deeply troubling, and happening in the light of day! What is wrong with this man!

I don't understand why Gosar as member of Congress hasn't been expelled for openly encouraging violence against a fellow House member. Honestly, I don't understand any of it! Where is the accountability for the people complicit in trying to overthrow our gov't? What is happening?

An angry white man walked into a yoga studio in Tallahassee Friday and shot six women, killing two - and was only prevented from more killing by members of the class stopping him - and it isn't even headline news. We have become muted to gun violence.
