The lesson from Brazil is that democracy cannot be taken for granted. Defeating authoritarianism at the ballot box is only part of the struggle. Defending democratic institutions, protecting civil rights and demanding accountability require strong, sustained, principled public participation.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

Trump said his GOP convention beat the NFL. Nielsen says the Seahawks-Patriots opener drew 25.1 million viewers. Trump’s speech drew about 3.3 million across three networks. Claiming victory after losing by roughly 21.8 million people takes a special kind of self delusion.

I’d highly recommend that nobody download this app. At best, it’s unfiltered propaganda. At worst, it’s spyware.

This 100% 🇺🇸 Nothing he does makes sense unless you look at it from Putin’s perspective of dismantling our democracy. Who exactly is winning here?

A “free press” means that the President does not get to make this distinction. A “free press” that is only free if it agrees with me is not free.

Wake the F up R’s. You will be included in the trials for your inactions. You took an oath!

For those keeping score at home, the United States is now without an Army Secretary, Army Deputy Secretary, and Senate-confirmed Army Chief of Staff -- all in the midst of an ongoing War with Iran that everyone in D.C. has quietly conceded Trump already lost.

Natalie cut this 💩 out. Now. There are more important issues. Yes, I am harping on your actions.

It's good to know the U.S. president has his priorities straight: China’s robot revolution, Ukraine’s technological advances, and Russia’s military buildup for a 2nd front against Europe can wait. It’s more important to antagonize Canada, lose a trade war, and try to rename a lake.

ROSIE: “.. A special hello to those of you watching from home and from the White House. I do have some bad news for President Petty Roosevelt. That's all I'm gonna say about you tonight sweetheart. You got to realize it's time to hang up your wig and let Natalie tuck you in.” $DIS

ESPN has to quit shoving Pat McAfee down our throats. He’s not particularly talented. He’s not particularly entertaining. There’s no reason they need to ruin the perfectly good Monday Night Countdown with him. No way in hell I’m gonna suffer watching it with him on there.

ROSIE: “.. I'm back in the spotlight all thanks to President Ompa J. Loompa, who is watching us this evening from inside a catering cart. You know, I couldn't have done it without you, sweetie. You brought me back just like you did with fascism and the measles." $DIS

All of these Natalie Harp stories are leaking for one reason: Someone in the West Wing is sick of Harp’s shit. Probably just a coincidence that it’s all happening as Leavitt is leaving.
