Pam Garrison @WestVirginiaPPC says @Sen_JoeManchin: "What reality is he in? ... We're coming! And I'll tell you what, my fellow Americans are coming with me."
We're marching on Manchin in WV next #MoralMonday 6/14. Join us: 3rdReconstruction.org

I'm sorry but one bad op-ed will not get me to abandon the fight for democracy. If we lose, we lose, but we're not going down without a fight.

What these courageous TX legislators is almost impossible to pull off. It means every person was on the same page. It’s unity. Their ability to kill the bill tonight shows unity is what it’ll take to protect voting rights and protect democracy. Hope US Senators are listening.

"I'm not ready to destroy our government" by...voting to stop a partisan filibuster of a bipartisan commission to investigate the people who tried to destroy our government?

If Democrats don't use their trifecta to rebalance America's electoral playing field - and/or, attain a degree of popularity without modern precedent - they will clear the way for a proto-authoritarian right to take power by mid-decade.

Absolute must read. The GOP is on track to gerrymander themselves into a House majority next year. Trump is on track to be reelected with a trifecta after that. If you want to avery that catastrophe, Dems have pass democracy reforms NOW.

1. Oppose Trump's nominee prior to the election, invoking the GOP's own rule from 2016.
2. Defeat Trump on Nov 3
3. Keep seat open until Biden takes office
4. If GOP rams Trump pick thru anyway, add seats to the Court
This is the play. There is no other play.
The responses we just heard from House leadership is making me feel physically sick. They talk and talk and do nothing. They are not LEADING, they are following polls. It’s disgusting and they should lose their jobs. #ImpeachmentInquiryNow
Dems should open impeachment proceedings, and decide whether to impeach Donald Trump. SICK of hearing "Wait for the election" or "Wait for ____'s testimony." Trump won't play fair in 2020 if not checked now. To say "we don't have the Senate votes" is putting party above country.
No wall. Funding through February 15. No declaration of a national emergency. Looks like Dems finally found their spines and it paid off, bigtime. The Orange One backed down. Let's keep our spines this time, shall we? Thank you @SpeakerPelosi! #TrumpShutdowm

Saturday Night on Broadway at @HamiltonMusical tonight. GO VOTE. (From the genius mind of @kurtmoji)
Kavanaugh looks like a rich, privileged college frat boy who for the first time in his life is facing the full weight of the consequences of his actions, and is stunned that this is happening because he thought his privilege made him invincible. #KavanaughHearings
#OccupyLafayettePark needs a list of concrete demands soon. Otherwise it won't get as far. I'd go with #impeachment of Trump, investigation of several Congressional leaders, and securing our elections in November. Also #votingrights and #EndCitizensUnited. $ got us in this mess.
FYI @PhilippeReines is holding a protest in Lafayette Park this evening across from the White House. If you are in DC, GO and demand GOP hold Trump accountable.
#IMPEACHTRUMPNOW #impeachTrump teapaw.org/PhilippeReines/status/…
Here’s the plan:
8:30pm tonight in Lafayette Park, directly across from the North side of the White House.
Please pass this on to anyone who can join or help whip people up.

I def. support the sentiment of the #familiesbelongtogethermarch, but we will accomplish very little by simply marching. If we truly want to make it stop now, we occupy the capital for an extended period of time. Otherwise it's just public commiseration.
