.@SenToomey If you could take a moment, could you explain why prioritizing equal access for myself (completely blind) and my wife (uses a wheelchair) to our public transit is a "woke planning mandate"? Are you just unaware of the travesty that is the NYC subway, for instance?

Full children's hospitals paints a different picture from claims that children aren't at risk.
Tons of evidence says older adults are at substantially greater risk than kids. But there's also enough uncertainty regarding kids that it's not unreasonable to prefer some caution. https://t.co/AyYmTTfhtB

Y’all. There’s no such thing as “Jew In Name Only”. You either are (regardless of how you practice or vote) or aren’t. You can be an embarrassment, or a baal teshuva, or one of the 36 righteous, your Jewishness does not depend on how that translates into politics.

A number of these commenters are sick and tired of indoctrination in our schools and also why don't we make the Pledge of Allegiance mandatory? pic.twitter.com/W0OPlSIfcR

If tomorrow’s job numbers are bad, expect Fox News to blame Joe Biden. If tomorrow’s job numbers are good, expect Fox News to credit Republican Governors

The eviction moratorium isn’t “hey landlords, you’re not getting paid, deal with it.” It’s “hey landlords, the government will cover the back rent, don’t kick people out.”
I’ve focused on criticizing the process, but there seems to be some misconceptions about the policy.

With the 2017- travel ban, the judiciary and Trump admin established the precedent that, if courts rule an executive order unconstitutional, POTUS just does another similar one, which remains in force until courts get to it, and POTUS can keep doing this until one passes muster.

This describes a lot of what’s happened to the GOP.
Elites say something false, nutty, or extreme without believing it to keep voters angry and aggrieved, many voters take it seriously and literally, elites go “oh crap, we can’t alienate the base,” and just like that, it’s dogma. https://t.co/AxGXbk1k02

“How much would you pay to be able to shove your kid back in the closet and be able to pretend you’re not the asshole?”

Just an abhorrent world view. https://t.co/5PTOM9niIc

"The U.S. economy added 943,000 jobs in July, as the labor market recovery booms. Unemployment rate fell to 5.4% from 5.9%."

But they told me electing Joe Biden would mean..."socialism."

I will not make a big deal about a monthly jobs report.

I will not make a big deal about a monthly jobs report.

But that was pretty impressive. If it had happened under Trump, they'd demand that he be made president for life.

Oh, wait, they're doing that anyway.

Today’s reminder that House members who continue to push Trump’s election lies were themselves voted in on the same ballots in the same election.

Yes, we could vaccinate more and get more people to be careful, but hear me out: look around. You sure we want to save this?

Overheard in NWC hallway: "my wife doesn't like vaccines, why shouldn't she be able to participate normally in society?"

Txt from Mom: "long-time boyfriend now in ICU w/COVID"

Shipmate, you and your wife can rot in your basement forever for all I care about your feelings

American politics puts a high priority on coddling the feelings of people who say American society went downhill when we started prioritizing people's feelings.

I mean that argument is based entirely on “corruption is okay if you ban ‘depictions of homosexuality’ and gender studies programs I don’t like” which is not really a great good faith argument https://t.co/1orgU9zH6O
