Clean up:
The "SAVE AMERICA ACT" is a GOP voter suppression measure designed to maintain minority rule in our country.
Calling it a 'citizenship bill' normalizes it and is RW propaganda.

Just opened the WaPo daily newsletter (yes I cancelled, but I had already paid for like 11 months, so...) They are not going to maintain their fact check data base on FELON47, despite winning awards on the one from his first term because they are tired and it doesn't matter anyway. #4thEstate

I'd say GOP election corruption and voter suppression is more than a DEM 'concern.'
Republicans are doing everything possible to destroy American democracy.
You know this.

Every time I see a GOP operative on TV, I wonder how they can live with themselves supporting international child sex trafficking and voter disenfranchisement like they all do.
And they've all been media normalized.
It's a real shame for our country.

A chyron that says “Trump cleans house”implies he’s doing something constructive or positive instead of what he’s really doing:
working his a$$ off to destroy American democracy.
These nuances matter.

Three years ago tomorrow, I very nervously gave this speech. I knew my career as a TV journalist was dunzo, cooked, filleted, kaput the morning I wrote it. (Thanks to Kat insisting I go for it anyway.)
The end is awfully prescient at this exact second, though. Big ups to Scott Pelley for fighting.

The #FAFO loop of someone giving #Trump and his bunch of #RobberBarons a reality check on "American exceptionalism" and a real lesson in good manners has been, um, exceptional. 😂
There's so much #WINNING going on - for #CHINA.
