Unless the system is fundamentally democratized, we\u2019ll soon reach the point where it will become impossible to stop America\u2019s slide into authoritarianism through elections.

One of the most important and iconic moments of Justice Thomas's confirmation. It was a signal to the world that you should never let bullies win.

I believed Anita Hill then, and I believe her now. And I believe Sukari Hardnett, too.
I believe Moira Smith.
And Christine Blasey Ford ...
And now, two out of the six Republicans on the Supreme Court -- that's 1/3 -- have been credibly accused of sexual misconduct. Not to mention the venal former president/GOP cult leader who faces some 2-dozen accusations. Are these your kings, Republicans?
Note to Trump supporters asking “why do you keep bringing him up?” Easy answer: he won’t shut his lying pie hole.
This is HOW he lost.
Okay, so here is a more complete rundown of how the last three Presidential Elections went down. And some more mythbusting of Trump's lies about the 2020 Election. https://t.co/3M9c79wHop pic.twitter.com/eRNRKQZzzB

Arizona - the trend of the state (clearly trending toward the Dems after 2012) and the groups Trump improved/declined with between 2016, when he won and 2020, when he lost. pic.twitter.com/ZxUXyui83R
In 2016, Donald Trump won Independents in every one of the six states that he flipped from blue to red.
In 2020, Donald Trump lost Independents in every one of the five states that Joe Biden flipped from red to blue.
Is it somehow strange that Trump lost the election? No. It would have been much stranger had Trump managed to win the election.
No one as consistently unpopular as him has ever been re-elected. Like ever.

Project Veritas assigned female undercover operatives to arrange dates with FBI employees and other officials and secretly record them, with the aim of capturing any disparaging comments made about Trump. The women had code names like \u201cBrazil\u201d and \u201cTiger.\u201d https://t.co/N7Yrjx5M5U

Oh hey.
Gosh, look at that.
It’s all just so absurd, and yet so potent.
