How many American voters are responsible for the U.S. Senate being held by Chuck Schumer and the Democrats instead of by Mitch McConnell and the Republicans?
1,017 voters. That’s it.

There are 50 Republicans and 50 Democrats in the U.S. Senate.
The U.S. Vice President, Kamala Harris, breaks the tie, making Chuck Schumer Majority Leader instead of Mitch McConnell.

But if Democrat Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire hadn’t defeated Republican Kelly Ayotte in 2016 by a grand total of only 1,017 votes, there would be 51 Republicans. And Mitch McConnell would be the Majority Leader.

I get angry when I hear "voter fraud." We all know that there is no voter fraud. That the fraud being perpetuated is not by Black and Brown voters but by white Republican politicians that want to hold on to power.
They are calculated and callous and they've looked at the patterns of young voters and Black and Brown voters and tried to make it as difficult as possible for our voice and vote to be heard.

Let’s talk about science and research for a second. Research journals are given a rating used to measure their importance based on citations. This is called an “Impact Factor”. An Impact Factor of >10 puts a journal near the top 1% of all cited journals. 1/x
So a high Impact Factor journal is widely considered reputable by the general scientific/research/medical community. So when a high Impact Factor journal comes out with a statement, it should be taken seriously. 2/x
Consider this article “Trump lied about science” from @ScienceMagazine (IF 41.85) science.sciencemag.org/content/sci/36… 3/x
This is awesome. Cardi B meets Joey B: "I don’t want someone to lie to me and tell me that it’s okay not to wear a mask, that everything is going to be okay... Tell me the truth, the hard-core truth." #TruthMatters #VotingMatters #BidenHarris2020Landslide elle.com/culture/career…
CB: "Nobody is more motivated than a mom. Nobody wants to go hustle... and get the money for the kid like a mother... how (can you) do that when you ... don’t have a babysitter for your kid?... a lot of people, their mom cannot... take care of the kids. The mom has to work, too."
Joe Biden: "The reason I’m so optimistic is because of your generation. You’re the smartest, the best educated, the least prejudiced, and the most engaged generation in history. And you’re going to change things." #BidenHarris2020

The Republican Party can NEVER AGAIN claim to be the party of patriotism, national security, fiscal responsibility, family values, morality, or American leadership on the world stage. (1)
Patriotism: @realDonaldTrump’s disgusting display of deference and subservience to @KremlinRussia_E Putin, combined with the myriad of @GOP senators prostrating themselves (on July 4th, no less) to Putin was a shameful display of treasonous behavior. (2)
National Security: The removal of security clearance from @JohnBrennan, continued attacks on the @FBI and @TheJusticeDept coupled with treasonous activities of @DevinNunes and others harm national security. The fact that @SenateMajLdr & @SpeakerRyan remain silent = #complicit (3)
Today marks the 150th anniversary of the 14th Amendment which was designed to give full citizenship to African Americans who had been formerly enslaved. #14thAmendment #CivilRights
The promise of full citizenship was meant to include the ability to participate equally in the political process. #CourtsMatter #VotingMatters #OTD
The 14th Amendment's relevance can't be overstated, especially in today's legal landscape. "We can only hope that, in the words of Frederick Douglass, it will continue to “give full freedom to every person without regard to race or color in the U.S.” nytimes.com/2018/07/08/opi…

Seeing The @GOP @HouseGOP @SenateGOP @SenateMajLdr @SpeakerRyan let criminal @realDonaldTrump violate the rule of law and pardon friends without objection is the SAME THING as @NYPDCT handing #ISIL guns & ammo and letting them shoot up @TimesSquareNYC #IllegitimatePresident (1)
One has to wonder why in the face of this obvious corruption of @realDonaldTrump and the open conspiracy with @KremlinRussia_E, the @GOP stays silent. Could this be the reason? dallasnews.com/opinion/commen… (2)
Can it be that @DevinNunes @RepMattGaetz @Jim_Jordan @RepSteveChabot @LouieGohmertTX1 @DanaRohrabacher are actually actively receiving money from @KremlinRussia_E friendly Oligarchs? #Mueller (3)

#FridayFeeling Another school shooting. Another round of “thoughts and prayers”. “Mental illness”. “Too soon to talk about gun control” “arm the teachers”. Next mass shooting. Rinse and repeat. Fuck this. I wrote this in 2015 facebook.com/walter.broadna…. Still applies. (1)
But it won’t matter. The carnage will continue. @realDonaldTrump will offer some half-assed non empathetic statement written by one of his Alt-right staffers. @mike_pence will look “earnest” while lying. And the @NRA? gunrunner @OliverNorthNRA will call the victims terrorists
Looking for courageous action among the GOP? @SpeakerRyan? @marcorubio? @tedcruz? All taking @NRA (Russian Oligarchs) money. Don’t count on it.
