Still love Bernie, but now it's a free-for-all. Bernie tweets plus some of my opinions mixed in. These views are my own and not my employers'.

Trump used every power of his office to overturn the election.
He pressured. He schemed. He incited.
And he nearly succeeded. Much as we would like to believe otherwise, we came perilously close to losing our democracy.
He must be held accountable, never to hold office again.

Minimum wage in Australia: $19.84 an hour
Unemployment rate in Australia: 6.6%
U.S. federal minimum wage: $7.25 an hour
U.S. unemployment rate: 6.7%
Please don't tell me raising the minimum wage to a living wage - at least $15 an hour - costs jobs.

A President cannot incite an insurrection against the United States in an attempt to hold onto power and escape responsibility. Period.

Some of my colleagues are throwing tantrums because they have to go through metal detectors. Do they know that countless children have to do the same thing to go to school?

When you read about how Hitler failed at his first attempt to overthrow the government on November 8, 1923, being tried for treason and briefly imprisoned, yet within 8 years had succeeded, then you see how important it is to convict trump and ban him from future federal office!

To anybody interviewing congressional republicans: first ask them if, in one word, they accept the results of the 2020 election. If they say anything other than yes, cut their mics and end the interview. Better yet, find out ahead of time and don't have them on at all.

McConnell is threatening to filibuster the Organizing Resolution which allows Democrats to assume the committee Chair positions. It’s an absolutely unprecedented, wacky, counterproductive request. We won the Senate. We get the gavels.

Imagine having a Harvard Law degree and thinking that the Paris Climate Agreement is actually about Paris
20 Jan 2021
By rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, President Biden indicates he’s more interested in the views of the citizens of Paris than in the jobs of the citizens of Pittsburgh. This agreement will do little to affect the climate and will harm the livelihoods of Americans.

Shock of shocks! Donald Trump, the self-proclaimed billionaire, received a $72.9 million tax refund from the IRS while not paying a nickel in federal income taxes in 10 out of 15 years.
Yep. Trump l-o-v-e-s corporate socialism for himself, rugged capitalism for everyone else.

President Trump to Sean Hannity: “A lot of equipment is being asked for that I don’t think they will need.”
My Q: How will that thinking impact how you fill their orders?
Trump: I never said governors wouldn’t need the numbers they were asking for.
