There seems to be some confusion among even well meaning folks that being "anti-war" means not supporting sending weapons to Ukraine.
Let me explain why the exact opposite is true.

The guy who voted against stem-cell research is getting a stem-cell transplant. I guess his religious principles only count when they affect other people's lives.
STEVE SCALISE will be out of DC until February. He is getting a stem-cell transplant.
House GOP has 220-seat majority. Bill Johnson is out Jan. 21. After that, w Scalise out, GOP will have a bare bones 218-seat majority.
I'm starting to think that a whole lot of black families in places like Florida and Virginia need to start suing the school districts for teaching misleading history that makes black students uncomfortable.
If that's the test, the students' comfort, we need to use that.
Once again, I would like to ask the media (
@CNN
@MSNBC
@NBCNews
@CBSNews
@ABC
) why it is they forced us to listen to Kayleigh McLiar on a daily basis, but we have to go to
@cspan

@PressSec
Jen Psaki, who's actual trying to inform instead of gaslight us?
Why is that?
Trump says governors are hardly calling him now. He thinks it's because they're in great shape and don't need anything, but they need a lot. They've just realized he's worthless. He doesn't help; he plays games and is incompetent. So now they're solving problems on their own.
A black woman who thought she was eligible to vote got five years in prison for voting once. This white Republican man knowingly voted illegally nine times, and he gets a fine. There's definitely two systems of justice in this country, and Trump is a beneficiary, not a victim.
JUST IN:
Brian Pritchard, first vice chairman of the Georgia Republican Party and 2020 election denier, has been found guilty of voting illegally nine times.
Shocker.
Damnit, everyone please stop trying to put a time limit on abortion because you think it sounds more reasonable.
Voluntary abortions happen early, as soon as a woman knows she's pregnant. Late term abortions are almost ALWAYS medical emergencies, & banning them means we die. 1/
You guys, I've found it.
I know there's a lot of incredibly stupid things on this app, but I have found the dumbest tweet in the entire history of tweeting.
Do share this with the Swifties so they can have a good laugh.
If Ghislaine Maxwell is smart, she will make a very public statement declaring that under no circumstances will she ever kill herself, and that if she turns up dead, no one should believe a suicide story and should instead search for her killer.
Seems like Byron Donalds introducing fake Photoshopped evidence in a Congressional impeachment hearing ought to be a bigger deal, don't you think?
Is that even legal?
I'm old enough to remember this pattern through the last 7 or 8 presidents. Greedy GOP does tax cuts, crashes economy, threatens Medicare and SS. Recession. Dems take over, pull us out of the hole, economy improves over years, then GOP crashes it again.
Every. Single. Time.
I cannot find words that adequately express how profoundly disappointed I am that not a single prominent Republican has enough spine and principles to come out and say publicly that siding with our enemies and against the United States is wrong.
I thought it was shameful when so many Trumpsters attacked the reputation of John McCain after his death. Now I hear rumors of resisters attacking Bush 41? You don't have to agree with someone's policies to acknowledge a lifetime of public service by an American hero. Be better.
So how old will America have to be before we agree that white supremacism is not an "alternate viewpoint" but something evil and entirely unacceptable?
And, notwithstanding the FACT that he had been told by the US intelligence community that Russia attacked our election, Trump stood up moments later and said, “Putin denied it” and “I don’t see why it would be” Russia. What does this picture tell us?
Just in case any of you were starting to wonder if we'd been a little too hard on Bill Barr, let me remind you that due to his blatant lies about the Mueller Report, half the country thinks Russian collusion was a hoax.
And the rest of us are tired of explaining it to fools.
Not a single Democratic senator has mentioned the judge's religion, but every Republican senator has attacked the Democrats for attacking her faith.
It's almost like they just invent their own reality.
I found myself wondering in what possible way and in what possible reality is Lara Trump qualified to be a senator, but then I remembered Alabama elected Tuberville, who doesn't understand how government works at all, and realized being qualified doesn't matter in the South.
I never thought I had this much anger and hate in me. It's a very destructive force, and it's bad for both physical and mental health.
I don't think I'm going to get over being angry at the people who supported and enabled this, even when the source is gone.
So that former guy got himself vaccinated but didn't tell anyone because he cared more about his tough guy image than he did about the health of his cult followers and the rest of the country?
Am I reading this right?
I see the White House is trying to sell the lie that the Mueller Report "fully exonerated" the president.
I guess they assume Trump supporters are too stupid to read.
BREAKING: 55% of Americans are complete and total morons who don't have clue what's going on. If this poll is accurate, we're f*cked. America is failing the Darwin test.
JUST IN: 55% of Americans approve of Pres. Trump's management of the coronavirus crisis, compared to 43% who disapprove, according to new

News/Ipsos poll.
So my mom died last night. It was not COVID and not unexpected, but still heartbreaking.
I've been her full-time caregiver for the last nine years, so as well as being sad, I'm feeling a little lost.
Twitter is my therapy, but it's hard to talk about, so I'm mostly retweeting.
Oh look! 👀 It's a tax-payer funded and very expensive carnival ride to feed Trump's ego and illegally promote his campaign.
Shall we all pretend this is normal, as usual?
Seems to me when people put their hand on a book to take an oath swearing allegiance to the Constitution, that book ought to be a copy of the Constitution, not a Bible, which should have absolutely nothing to do with their role in our government.
A lot of people seem to be overlooking the most significant point in this FBI - Facebook story: that Trump's FBI told Facebook that the Hunter's laptop story was misinformation.
OMG you guys, I just fell down a MAGA rabbit hole, and batsh*t crazy doesn't begin to describe it.
They're totally convinced Trump has this completely under control, it's all part of the grand plan, and he will install himself as God's emperor and be president forever.
Kinda funny the White House is now all into pointing out every single thing Dr. Fauci has gotten wrong.
Can they point out a single thing Trump has got right?
Ron DeSantis: "I think the danger from Congress is if we lose the election, they’re going to try to nationalize abortion up until the moment of birth. And in some liberal states, you have post-birth abortions and think that is wrong."

So Elon wants us all to think he just donated all these terminals and the Internet service to Ukraine, but actually the US is paying him a higher than market price for many of them. No one seems to want to discuss the terms.
Beware of billionaires pretending to bear gifts.
@LindseyGrahamSC
John McCain is turning over in his grave in disgust at what a hideous person you've become.
I can't believe I once respected you.
Your place in history is going to be nothing like you've imagined.
You know what would be cool? If billionaires like the Mercers and Kochs would just pay their fair share of taxes instead of spending hundreds of millions trying to subvert democracy, run psyops on Americans, and buy politicians, to get them out of paying a fair share of taxes.
One of the weirder parts of this

@jeffsessions
@realDonaldTrump
THE. MUELLER. REPORT. DID. NOT. EXONERATE. TRUMP.
No matter how many time y'all tell that lie, it's still a lie.
If Trump had not been a sitting president he'd be in prison now.
Give it up, Jeff, he's just not that into you anymore.
And why would you want him to be?
I used to think Trump belonged in prison. Now I think he belongs at The Hague. He's a war criminal who thinks lining his pockets is worth tens of thousands of lives.
I'm so tired of being sad. Tired of going to bed sad, and waking up to even more sad news.
Tomorrow I want to wake up to some happy, joyous news about indictments or something.

It means they're hypocritical racist hacks. It also means they're threatened by a strong black woman speaking truth.
For some reason racists really hate being called out for being racists.
Cyber Ninjas CEO Doug Logan attempted to block public view of more than 1,400 texts he traded with a Michigan lawyer tied to data breaches in four states.
He blacked out texts, but The Arizona Republic was able to digitally remove his redactions and view the messages. 1/4
If you really wanted to prevent abortions you'd make safe, affordable birth control available to all women.
Also, no one *wants* to have an abortion. Ever.
How dare McDonalds fire the employee who was physically assaulted at work because the a$$hole who assaulted her demanded it?! You don't even have to ask which color was who, right?

anchors were informed a year ago that correcting Republicans' lies on air was a fireable offense. Apparently if you don't let them lie they refuse to come on air.
according to the NYT this interview that Don Lemon conducted last week with Vivek Ramaswamy played a role in his firing. Note co-host Poppy Harlow sitting silently while Lemon goes after Vivek.
It's now official. California is a universal vote by mail state.
Voters in all statewide elections will receive a ballot in the mail. Those who still want to vote in person can do so.
While other states roll back access to voting -- we're EXPANDING IT.
@SpeakerPelosi
PLEASE PAY ATTENTION: HE IS STILL REMOVING SORTING MACHINES AND MAILBOXES TODAY.
His promises obviously mean nothing. The destruction of democracy continues in plain site.
He needs to be charged with crimes.
Is it wrong of me to be gleefully imagining the angry and humiliated president tweeting "FAKE NEWS" and then a few minutes later seeing "FAKE PRESIDENT" trending and knowing we're all laughing at him?

#BunkerBitch
Just thinking about how Trump is always a no-show at his civil trials, but once the various criminal trials start he's going to have to sit there in the courtroom the entire time, listen to every word against him, and he won't be able to shout lies over the top of the witnesses.
Apparently Meghan McCain was worried people might forget how awful she is, so she went out of her way to remind us again. Anything to get your name trending, right Meghan?
It's hard to believe a third of the country thinks this election was stolen despite there being absolutely no evidence to support it, all because they believe the president who lies constantly about literally everything.
How do we fix this?
Just in case anyone is confused about this, Fascism is not when everyone is asked to take a vaccine to prevent the spread of a deadly contagious disease. Fascism is when you don't let people vote, or don't count their votes, or ignore what they voted for.

@AOC
My God ... you're every bit as stupid, ignorant and hideous as everyone said you were.
Hard to believe an entire Congressional distric would be dumb enough to elect a whack job conspiracy theorists with mind-numbingly idiotic takes like this one.
I think I'm about to start blocking everyone who keeps coming up with these terrible takes about how we should replace Biden on the ticket. I'm sick of this BS. There is no one else I would rather have, and I'm not listening to another nine months of whining garbage from pundits.
Lol!😂
Former President Donald Trump was ordered by a Manhattan Supreme Court Judge to submit to a meeting giving him instructions on how to comply with an order restricting him from using evidence in his criminal case to attack witnesses.
