Delaying annexation is not historic—this deal is a sham. Israel's planned unilateral annexation of the West Bank remains a violation of international law & Palestinian human rights. If Israel moves forward with annexation, Congress must put conditions on U.S. funding to Israel. QT @RaphaelAhren: Israel remains committed to annexing parts of the West Bank, a senior Israeli official says. "The Trump administrat… https://t.co/5OmskZNr4t)
Just remembered that the @SenateGOP has had three months to pass the HEROES Act & provide relief to American families, but has chosen instead to simply do nothing.
This man is a threat to our democracy. QT @sppeoples: President Trump in Oshkosh, Wisconsin: "The only way we're going to lose this election is if the election is rigged.")
A reminder that in states with universal vote-by-mail, the possible fraud rate was found to be .0025% in votes cast by mail in 2016 & 2018. https://t.co/SNfqyMaLLw
We can't wait any longer—House leadership must call Congress back in session to investigate the attacks on the USPS & our elections. We need public hearings now, including with Postmaster General DeJoy. We cannot let Donald Trump destroy our democracy, we have a job to do.
Timeline: House passes the HEROES Act on May 15. Two months later, the @SenateGOP intro a package—with no eviction moratorium, no $ for states, cut UI—& didn't even have the GOP votes to pass it. Then they let eviction moratoriums & enhanced UI expire. Today, they went home. QT @ericawerner: Before closing the Senate, McConnell set up a bunch of nominations, and also made the following comments: https://t.co/4KT9Vq04tW)
#BlackWomensEqualPay Day is reminder that Black women deserve wage justice. Black women lose almost $ dollars to the #WageGap over a lifetime of work. It’s time to pay up and close the wage gap! QT @nwlc: We can’t talk about #BlackWomensEqualPay this year without acknowledging the outsized effect the pandemic has on Bl… https://t.co/6Gvsxj3DWJ)
Three years after white nationalists terrorized Charlottesville, we commit to opposing racism, white supremacy and fascism in all its forms—inside & outside the Oval Office. https://t.co/qd0PJi6iF1

The HEROES Act extended $600 enhanced UI & eviction moratoriums, paused student loan payments AND provided $ for states, schools, testing, tracing, elections & the USPS. An executive order cutting unemployment benefits & Social Security funding is insufficient to say the least.
Join me on Monday for a FB Live Town Hall—I'll answer all your questions & discuss the Republican hold-up on providing relief to families in Wisconsin & nationwide. https://t.co/v5zqDnMjZ0
Trans people's lives aren't a 'wedge issue,' they are lives. https://t.co/pfCkuet0JR
So should we boo @SenateGOP's unwillingness to just pass the HEROES Act? QT @LACaldwellDC: @realDonaldTrump Meadows: "Trump's willingness to take action through executive powers should be applauded")
Is this the woman who dropped off the Kayne West papers in WI to run for President? If so, a whole lot of Nixonian dirty tricks going on. QT @cam_joseph: Here she is talking last September: https://t.co/jSXrC8lHTi)
Trump's gut reaction to facts is: "You can't do that." Says it all. QT @axios: .@jonathanvswan: “Oh, you’re doing death as a proportion of cases. I’m talking about death as a proportion of popul… https://t.co/hQcrJLKDwB)
Someone should ask @realDonaldTrump to explain the difference between absentee and mail-in ballots. Would love to hear him explain the difference between two things that are the same.
We need to extend enhanced unemployment benefits & eviction moratoriums—not funding for F-35s and Apache helicopters. https://t.co/UpSEbDYz8J
So when the Senate won't confirm an Islamophobe for a top Pentagon spot, the President just appoints them himself? https://t.co/VJ485djA9a
And 57% of people support cutting the defense budget by 10%. Imagine if we listened to them instead of defense contractors & Big Pharma CEOs. QT @thenation: Recent polling found that Medicare for All is supported by 69% of all Americans. https://t.co/AgcPSuZQlk)

@truthbetold1024 @repmarkpocan Sigh. It was MY amendment to do the cut and I supported it. Where are you getting this misinformation? (And why didn’t you face check it yourself?)
RT @Public_Citizen: The US military spends this amount every 11 days. https://t.co/HSmJwinlv9 QT @NBCNews: Preventing the next pandemic will cost $22,200,000,000 a year, scientists say. https://t.co/rTMMy3vcO9)
I can't give away all of my magic secrets, but for today's #MagicMonday I'll give you one as a throwback. https://t.co/nXFx9Xv5Cp
.@DHS_Wolf, why is ICE is locking children up in hotels, denying them lawyers & deporting them in the middle of a pandemic & hurricane in Texas? And why is a private company, MVM, profiting off of it? https://t.co/cmBKshXL7V
It's no surprise that Donald Trump's greatest ally is Vladimir Putin. Fascists of a feather flock together. https://t.co/ZUKoFdyPnj

@millbot @Ludecavious @repmarkpocan Try me. But not on 280 stupid vapid characters on Twitter. Like that post.
If @realDonaldTrump enacted the War Production Act, we would have enough reagents, testing supplies and PPE so everyone could get tested more frequently - not just the President “multiple times a day”!?! WTF? QT @atrupar: Here is Kayleigh McEnany claiming Trump is tested for coronavirus "multiple times a day" https://t.co/2C4txzyBGA)

And about 100 years later, @PhRMA is suing the state of Minnesota because they don't think they've made enough profits. A trillion dollars in profits just isn't what it used to be in 1923! QT @Public_Citizen: Never forget that the inventors of insulin thought profiting off of it would be unethical and sold the patent for a single dollar.)
.@AmericanAir & @united care more about their profts than the safety of their passengers. https://t.co/DwDQfdqW7p
The President's criminal friends openly asking him to tip the scales of justice in their favor is a hallmark of an administration always willing to suspend the rule of law. https://t.co/n1BfvYVDQY
