I’d say at least one million people in the streets of DC! Historic! This photo doesn’t even show the full breadth of it. Thank you Parkland students and kids everywhere. You have made it clear to the adults: “Either join us or get out of the way. We are here & we are coming.”
Hello fellow Americans. Do you know this man? Did you know he was your enemy? What? Never heard of him? By the end of today you will be trained to hate him. You will be glad Trump had him assassinated. You will do as you are told. Get ready to send your sons &daughters off 2 war
Making my 1st film, Roger & Me, I was broke so I wrote to some famous people to ask for help. Only one responded: Ed Asner. “I don’t know you, kid, but here’s 500 bucks” said the note attached to the check. “Sounds like it’ll be a great film. I was an autoworker once.” R.I.P. Ed
The adults of America have made every child fear they might be shot to death one day at school. It is time now for the adults to fear the children who are rising up, who will walk out & shut down these schools — and who will very soon be voters. Students! Revolt! We support you!
So
@therealroseanne
woke up this morning & posted hateful, slanderous tweets about me, Valerie Jarrett, George Soros & Chelsea Clinton — and ABC fired her. If only NBC had fired Trump when he started his racist birther movement in 2011, he wouldn’t be in the White House today.
Did Elizabeth Warren just end Bloomberg’s campaign? How many NDAs did Bloomberg force women to sign. She kept asking. He wouldn’t answer. Put a fork in him.
The NRA is a terrorist organization. The media should speak of the NRA in the same way they do ISIS. Total ISIS-inspired deaths in US = 79. Thanks to the NRA & the politicians they buy, we’ve had 1.2 MILLION American gun deaths since John Lennon was shot dead in NYC
#NRAKillsKids
The Republican Party is the enemy of the American people. The Senate just passed the Trump Tax Increase, 1:50am, enriching the 1% & concentrating wealth in the hands of the few. Capitalism & Fascism. The coup is underway. Make no mistake about it. EVERYONE OFF THE BENCH! 11/6/18!
My legal team is sending a CEASE & DESIST notice to
@RealDonaldTrump
for him to STOP calling Steve Bannon by MY nickname. You don’t get to re-gift a nickname. Trump designated me as the original “Sloppy.” And, henceforth, Bannon will be known as "Sloppy Seconds Steve Bannon!!"
Since the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary 5 years ago today, over 150,000 Americans have been killed with guns. WE let this continue. WE refused to demolish the NRA & destroy the gun manufacturers. We refused to examine why only Americans have this kind of continuous violence.
As of 11:30am this morning, the criminal governor of Michigan, Rick “The Tick” Snyder, will no longer be governor. He & his people poisoned Flint. Then covered it up. I implore the new Dem governor Gretchen Whitmer to have him arrested—and to replace ALL the pipes in Flint ASAP.
I GOT IN! I AM SEATED IN THE HOUSE GALLERY FRONT ROW WITNESSING HISTORY. CONGRESS IS ABOUT TO IMPEACH A LAWLESS, CRIMINAL PRESIDENT. I had to give my phone up, but will be back tonight and on the podcast to share what I witnessed.
In the morning, when u wake up, call your Senators &members of Congress — 202-225-3121 — & say, "I'm an American. My family originally came from the shithole country of (fill in the blank). On Nov 6th, I will be bringing my shithole self & and a shitload of others to the polls."
Texas - we hear you. You didn’t want to be part of our electrical grid. And now you’ve removed your mask mandate & are allowing large crowds to gather. We hear you! COVID is a hoax! So u don’t need our precious vaccine. We’ll send it to ppl who are saving lives by wearing masks.
Black turnout today in Alabama was larger than it was 4 Obama’s election. Stunning. Tonight’s lesson: Everybody must vote! And when they have a great candidate they will show up. We must run real heroes who will win, not party-approved hacks. We’re the majority. Here comes 2018!
The Parkland kids ignited a revolution. This is not the last u will hear from them. They did something yesterday that the Democratic Party & anti-gun groups have been unable to pull off — they targeted and DEFEATED 27 NRA-backed candidates and Congressmen! This is just the start.
Trump: “They (my intelligence officers) said, ‘I think it is Russia.’ I have President Putin (standing here). He just said it is not Russia. I will say this: I do not see any reason why it would be (Russia).” Arrest Trump when Air Force One lands. I want to see him in chains.
In Trump’s stunning act of open, televised treason yesterday, it is clear the Russians are holding him hostage by whatever they got on him or whatever harm they are threatening to do to a family member of his. For his and our safety, he must be removed from office. 25th Amendment
C’mon San Diego! Don’t be the laughing stock of America! Your congressman, Duncan Hunter, is under indictment —by Trump’s Justice Dept!—for 60 different felonies! And yet he’s ahead in the polls?! I don’t care if it is 74 and sunny every day. Get your shit together! DUNCAN OUT!
A frail old man, unable to remember things, stumbling, refusing to answer basic questions...I said it in 2017 and Mueller confirmed it today — All you pundits and moderates and lame Dems who told the public to put their faith in the esteemed Robert Mueller — just STFU from now on
ALL journalists from now on, when referring to Trump, must use the word “racist” as a factual description of him. “The racist president of the US, Donald Trump, flew today to...” Or, “Trump, a racist, met with leaders of Congress...” Or,“Today, the racist Trump, signed a bill...”
So he cancels the SuperBowl party at the WH, disinvites the PhiladelphiaEagles, says he’s holding a patriotic ceremony instead to send a message to the NFL — and then he proves through a little song we are all forced to memorize in 1st grade why he’s the worst possible American.
Let me say this to you, you sick, sad man. If Nixon had said this, Congress would’ve convened an emergency session & had his doctors declare him temporarily unable to perform the functions of his job. They’d wheel him out strapped to a gurney & take him to Bethesda 4 observation
North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!
Every one of these terrorists must be rounded up, arrested and tried. No exceptions. No mercy. If these actions don’t have consequences, we will be living with this terrorism for years, decades.
As the day ends, my deepest respect & admiration 4 every student who walked out of school today 2 demand an end 2 school shootings, the lack of gun control & general gun insanity. And the NRA. To those students who face repercussions from administrators, let me know if I can help
But the best news is that once again we WON the MOST votes throughout the whole country! In all the House races combined we got 3 MILLION MORE votes than the Repubs. And TEN MILLION MORE in the Senate races! The majority of Americans rejected Trump and all that he stands for!
Just got home from work, turned on C-SPAN to watch Kavanaugh’s “testimony.” So far he has done nothing but yell at the Senators, fight back tears over his weightlifting as a teen, and shouted about a dozen times, “I LIKE BEER!” He is so UNHINGED he should never serve on ANY court
Looks like I’m going to cross the 6-million followers mark on Twitter tomorrow. As usual when we add a new million, we hold a drawing! I randomly choose 5 of you and I will donate $1,000 each to your favorite political cause. And the lucky 6th person drawn— I come &wash your car!
Standing with our Jewish brothers & sisters who are screaming NOT IN OUR NAME! Last night, thousands of Jewish New Yorkers & their allies held a massive civil disobedience sit-in at Grand Central Station demanding an immediate ceasefire.

@jvpliveNY
So proud of Michigan today!We gave the world Motown, Aretha, Madonna, Iggy, Eminem, Magic Johnson, corn flakes, cars, & the middle class. Malcolm X & Thomas Edison grew up here. Arthur Miller wrote his first play here. Rosa Parks lived here most of her life. And now: Pres. Biden!
This is a national nightmare and national embarrassment. We can all end this nightmare and embarrassment by November 3rd. Who’s with me? The whole world is counting on us.
Remember—everything you hear from Trump and his cronies about Iran, like everything else he says, is a lie. Thankfully many in the media tonight are saying the same thing regarding his lies about this war. We must resist. We must speak out. We must NOT repeat the lies. War! STOP!
Love & solidarity to all our Jewish brothers & sisters. Excuse me, fellow gentiles, didn’t we all agree that we would NEVER let something like this happen again? That we would, at the first HINT of fascism, put an end to it before it grew into something worse? That moment is now.
Trump is asked, Who are you going to believe—the Russians or your own officers? And he refused to choose! Do you support your troops or Putin — and he wouldn’t choose! So my first thought goes out to those who serve this country— I’m so sorry the Commander-in-Chief is a traitor.
An Israeli sniper shoots & kills an unarmed medic, a 21-yr old Palestinian woman who was treating other unarmed people being shot & killed with guns and bullets you and I pay for. I know we have so much madness we’re trying to deal with here at home. Pls take a min. to speak out.
The dominant image on display tonight: The American Experiment is dead. Killed by the collective knee of white power, white privilege, and white ownership of property/wealth/wage-slave labor. America the Beautiful? We never repented for our Original Sins of slavery & genocide.
50yrs ago tonight, as I was exiting our Catholic church, someone from the parking lot shouted: “They've killed King! Martin Luther King is dead!"
A cheer arose from some of the all-white crowd exiting the church. It burns in my memory to this day.
Thank you Dr King. We carry on
One thing you know about Elizabeth Warren is that she has no interest in enriching herself. She is out to make the wealthy pay for the wreckage they’ve caused. And she refuses to be pitted against Bernie. Tonight she praised him.
He has literally lied about everything. All that’s left is that, in the next 24hrs, we will learn that George Santos is not his name and that in fact George Santos doesn’t exist. This is the Repubs doing a nuclear test. They wanted 2 see, because they’ve gotten away w/ lying…
VICTORY! Rashida Tlaib has won the primary in Detroit to become the 1st Muslim woman in Congress! She’s a Palestinian-American, she’s a Democratic Socialist, but most importantly, she has the heart & soul & courage to lead us to a better day. She and 1000 other Rashidas! Onward!
Just so everyone knows — 6 weeks after the Republican governor of MI began the poisoning of Flint, Bloomberg held a re-election fundraiser for him at his NYC mansion. He raised $2.3M for the criminal guv. I’m going to personally see you are crushed at the polls in Mi on March 10.
I just loved the whole F-Trump opening to the Olympics last night. From all Koreans coming in together under one blue flag of peace, to Pence & “mother” forced to sit in front of Kim’s sister, to the popular Korean singers joining together to sing John Lennon’s “Imagine” - BOOM!
Yesterday we created a Blue Wall that stopped a red wave. Few were willing to predict that. Millions of you made it happen, and our Democracy lives to see another day. Thank you. My thoughts...
GOD WHY?
OH RUTH, WE ARE SO SORRY YOU HAD TO LEAVE US. You did everything you could to stay alive. Braver than us all! I just read your final wishes: “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new President is installed.” All of us MUST see THAT is what happens.
I cannot begin to describe the emotion I felt during the segment I just taped with Stephen Colbert tonight. It will air in an hour on the east coast on CBS. We talked about the deep despair tens of millions are feeling &what we’re going to do about it. We went long. Hope u see it
We are less than 15 hours away from taking the keys to the Clown Car away from the House Republicans. They will be sent to the Time Out room to think about their silence & collaboration with a traitor to all that we believe America is and can be. History will not be kind to them.
It is now 25 days since the attack on the Capitol and NOT ONE piece of security camera footage showing who the Republican members of Congress were who gave the terrorist leaders a reconnaissance tour has been released. The police & FBI know who. Stop the cover-up. RELEASE IT NOW.
Amy Klobuchar, give up. Your TV appearances as a white person telling black ppl how 2 behave is insulting. “At 8pm, you all must go home.” NO! YOU go home. You refused 2 prosecute killer cops. You’re lying saying “80% of these agitators are from out of town!”LIES! U will not b VP
Don Jr—here’s what’s amazing. When Mueller takes you &your brother-in-law away in chains, &then he offers your dad this deal- “Resign the presidency now & we’ll let Don Jr & Jared go”- you’re going to find out what a sociopath your father is as he throws his own son under the bus
