“Courage is not something that happens once in our lifetimes. It’s something we live and exhibit in the way we live our lives every day.” - Anita Hill at Rutgers Camden Law graduation. #ThursdayThoughts

Dems have the Senate majority for the next 60-plus days. Use it! Not just to confirm judges. Hold your own pre-confirmation hearings. Foreign Relations on Tulsi Gabbards ties to Russia. Intel Committee onJohn Ratliffe's misconduct on intelligence in Trump's first term. 1/

“Authoritarianism expert and historian @RuthBenGhiat warns: ‘People are always in denial, they’re unprepared, and they think it can’t happen here.’ It can and it will happen if Trump wins back the White House 2024, because he tells us so.” @ProjectLincoln

Any Republican Senator seeking the coveted LEADERSHIP position in the United States Senate must agree to Recess Appointments (in the Senate!), without which we will not be able to get people confirmed in a timely manner. Sometimes the votes can take two years, or more. This is what they did four years ago, and we cannot let it happen again. We need positions filled IMMEDIATELY! Additionally, no Judges should be approved during this period of time because the Democrats are looking to ram through their Judges as the Republicans fight over Leadership. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THANK YOU!

A generation of young men were primed to listen to his message, amid anxiety about their economic future and isolation during the pandemic. To them, Trump is “more of an antihero than a villain,” @dellavolpe told me.
