Hilary Clinton did not get enough credit from progressives in my opinion for her unequivocal defense of women’s reproductive freedom throughout the 2016 campaign. This was unprecedented and underappreciated. thecut.com/2016/10/hillary-c…

Great thread on how discrimination has been studied in economics. Looks like a fascinating and super interesting PhD thesis by @CleoCZ

This will be met with complete silence not only from almost all Republican elected officials but also most of the right-wing media (National Review, Wall Street Journal editorial page). They too are complicit in the return of white nationalism to the mainstream.

I'm sick of this President badmouthing unions. Labor built the middle class in this country. Minimum wage, overtime pay, the 40-hour week: they exist for all of us because unions fought for those rights. We need a President who honors them and their work.

The Trump Administration tried to prevent women from accessing basic reproductive health information. We fought back. Today, @NewJerseyOAG won a nationwide injunction blocking @realdonaldtrump's dangerous gag rule.
Replying to @NewJerseyOAG
BREAKING: We’ve secured a nationwide injunction against the Title X gag rule. The court declared the federal rule “a ham-fisted approach to health policy that recklessly disregards the health outcomes of women, families, and communities.

Because they're so innocent...
Late Night Breaking News: President Trump, Don Jr., Eric and Ivanka Trump and his business are suing Deutsche Bank and Capital One to block them from turning over financial records to congressional committees that have issued subpoenas for the information. cnn.com/2019/04/29/politics/…

Based on what’s been confirmed to be true and Trump’s own contradictory lies, that’s like 31 percent believing the earth is flat.
New WaPo/ABC News poll: 58% believe Trump lied to the American public about matters under investigation by Mueller 31% believe he told the truth.

Robert E. Lee owned 200 slaves (which he famously tortured) then led a rebellion to extend slavery which killed 620,000 people. Saying you're not a racist, you just love Robert E. Lee is like saying you're not an antisemite, you just love Hitler.
Replying to @atrupar
Asked if he still thinks there were "very fine people" on both sides of the white supremacist rallies in Charlottesville, Trump says, "I was talking about people that went b/c they felt very strongly about the monument to Robert E Lee. A great general, whether you like it or not"

Remember when @realDonaldTrump had a gun violence listening session and promised to “do something about this horrible situation that’s going on” in America? Well apparently “do something” means address the NRA at their convention. What a disgrace.
Heading to Indianapolis to speak at the big NRA Conference. Love being in Indiana. The @NRA is getting stronger & stronger and doing some really great and important work. Having their powerful support has been vital to #MAGA!

hey now
The #WTO DSB today adopted a "historic" decision clarifying that it can decide whether trade restrictions taken on national security grounds are justified. The decision has huge implications for the Trump Administration's use of Section 232 tariffs that face multiple challenges.
BREAKING: House Judiciary member David Cicilline on Trump officials Who ignore subpoenas "Congress has the responsibility, and I would say the obligation, to hold individuals in contempt who do not comply with a lawful subpoena ....And we ought to be prepared to imprison them."
