01:10:55 Another on the long list of potentially impeachable actions. The house should not focus so much on Trump/Russia. Don’t ignore it of course. But broaden the spotlight a bit please. https://t.co/gTHlxkYDyi

02:59:57 Retweeted @MikeGravel 2019-06-03 18:20:00 No matter who the Democrats nominate, Republicans will attack them as radical and socialist. That’s a given. The only real choice Democrats have is whether or not to inspire people in the process with policies that improve people’s lives.
04:57:54 Retweeted @KatyTurNBC 02:01:21 I thought I could understand the horror and feel the pain of what our govt was doing to these kids. Then I had my own child and I’ve realized no words are strong enough. https://t.co/9TXR2Jh7kD

19:47:28 Retweeted @mcimaps 15:35:45 I coded each state based on their allegiance during the civil war and plotted what share of the nationwide vote came from each region. The “West” is states added after the war. The most notable trend is the effects of Jim Crow voting restrictions on the share of Confederate votes https://t.co/F4FyY47q97

23:10:35 Retweeted @greenfield64 23:08:27 I am obviously “prejudiced”, having worked in his Senate office and campaign, but think Al Lowenstein was right when he said RFK’s death gets harder as the years go by.

02:51:00 Retweeted @mattmfm 2019-06-01 14:48:00 How seriously does the rest of the world take Trump? Well, here’s how Sky News is advertising his UK state visit. Watch. https://t.co/wEa0EedoxJ
03:10:28 Retweeted @neeratanden 03:06:54 I hope Barack Obama just shows up places in the public eye every couple of weeks through the next election just to remind people what it was like to have a decent, intelligent, compassionate president. So they know we can have that again. https://t.co/bEeap5F0rG
06:51:14 Retweeted @JuddLegum 03:04:00 It’s funny that there are still people who insist America is a meritocracy even though Jared Kushner exists
11:36:47 Conflict of interest? What’s that? Never heard of it. https://t.co/5cbvR596eQ
15:55:00 Retweeted @databyler 15:34:37 I get that everyone rolls their eyes about electabilitybut it’s too important not to talk about! And if we’re going to talk about it, it’s better to try to have some discipline/rules than to just sort of go full ad hoc gut feeling about it in reply to databyler
20:44:48 Retweeted @RonaldKlain 19:09:09 I finally identified a competent person at the Trump WH. That’s whichever person it was who managed — until this point — to keep Jared from doing interviews. https://t.co/ROuDIMg24a
20:55:47 Retweeted @emptywheel 20:42:14 So to clarify on Nader:1) They stopped him January 17 for a Mueller related search
2) He did at least 3 interviews w/Mueller w/in a week
3) They searched his phones for Mueller & found the porn in February 2018
4) Charges filed April 2018

https://t.co/JGxMy2zSOv
21:03:11 So is this one of the 14 spin-off cases? I would presume yes, right? https://t.co/T12mJbJjuW
21:17:38 Retweeted @ForecasterEnten 18:22:28 With the exception of Buttigieg moving up and the announcement bumps/slides, this 2020 prez race has been incredibly stable in terms of polling.
21:20:00 Retweeted @PollsAndVotes 03:02:39 Data from 100M traffic stops. After dark, blacks are smaller share of stops. Large racial disparities in drug search after stop by race. In CO & WA searches dropped after marijuana legalization though disparities remained.https://t.co/ep1yUQWclw

00:11:03 Retweeted @GarrettHaake 2019-06-01 22:48:27 I really don’t want to be alarmist, but it took waaaaaaay too long for anyone who even looked like security personnel to get up on that stage. Its 2019. Let’s be careful out there. https://t.co/P226S0eo8d
13:41:37 Retweeted @gelliottmorris 13:18:30 it has (understandably) garnered less attention lately, but the Democrats are currently hovering around a 9-pt margin on the generic congressional voteвЂ”exactly where the party was in November 2018.

05:42:57 Retweeted @RadioFreeTom 02:23:39 Barr might be the very worst of the Trump Cabinet, pumping conspiracy nuttery in a measured, lawyerly voice. The President isn’t shredding the Constitution, you see, it’s those coup plotters – men and women he’s known his whole professional life. Such malignant sycophancy.
05:58:41 Retweeted @qjurecic 2019-05-31 00:46:30 Pelosi has argued that the House should wait for public support to shift toward impeachment before beginning an inquiry. But this ignores that beginning an inquiry would signal to the public that Trump’s actions were impeachable to begin with. https://t.co/ed1dv8wRVh https://t.co/NGG9noOdk3

13:16:28 Retweeted @ewarren 13:00:19 The Mueller report details crimes by the president that would lead to the indictment of any other citizen. But Mueller couldn’t bring charges because a Justice Department policy says you can’t charge a sitting president. That policy is wrong and needs to go. Here’s how and why.
18:15:45 Retweeted @realDonaldTrump 18:08:33 Saddened to hear about the loss of John Pinto, a Navajo Code Talker in World War II, over the Memorial Day Weekend. The Code Talkers are true American HEROES and John never stopped serving his fellow citizens as a longtime New Mexico State Senator. John, Rest In Peace!
