Biden said that the only thing standing in the way of completing the checks was Mitch McConnell. That was a lie. Biden, on his own, has now changed the formula for those checks. McConnell was not involved.

The President can cancel student debt. The Vice President can override the opinion of the parliamentarian to pass a $15 minimum wage. The American people can have a government that works for them.

Joe Manchin should not dictate the agenda.

The federal minimum wage: July 24, 2009: $7.25/hour July 24, 2020: $7.25/hour It has been 11 years since Americans were last given a raise. We need a $15 minimum wage to be the national floor—now.

In order to preserve the #FightFor15, @BernieSanders must keep $15 min wage in Covid relief bill. Otherwise, it's likely dead for four years! His current plan is to take it out. We have to tell Bernie to keep it in the bill! #DontKillItBernie tyt.com/petitions/dont…

@Casey Who doesn't like getting hand-written letters? Or a package delivered to your door? It makes voting more possible for more people. It makes voting more secure than a button on a black box. A paper trail can be useful for some things... For other things, it's not needed.

@keithellison @neeratanden No. "Think tanks" only serve to launder the corrupting influence of lobbyists on politicians. The leadership of said think tanks has no business in government positions.

@AnaKasparian Music recommendation: You mentioned you like Neil Young, and Grundge. I recommend checking out Uncle Tupelo. Very working class perspective. Incredible vocals & lyrics. Start with the No Depression album, but all of their work is really good.

@purlercamps @jpjakeman @CoreyRForrester Term limits are a bad idea. It's the equivalent of saying that LeBron James has to retire after his rookie year. The correct approach is to end the legalized bribery that passes for campaign funding in this country. wolf-pac.com

THERE IS NO NEW TONE. THERE IS ONLY ENCOURAGEMENT TO HIS TERRORISTS. Trump tonight referred to an "orderly and seamless transition of power" - NOT a peaceful one. It's no accident. This is the opaque way he communicates to his stormtroopers. He also never used Biden's name.

"We have got to be as bold as FDR was in the 1930s!" Meet the next Chairman of the Budget Committee: Senator Bernie Sanders. Let's go folks!

"Let me just be very clear as the incoming chairman of the Senate Budget Committee: Remember what happened in 2010. Democrats got wiped out. They had the power, but they did not deliver for the American people. We must have an aggressive agenda." @BernieSanders #ChairmanSanders

At this late a stage, resignations help little beyond serving as late attempts at self-preservation. If Sec. Chao objects to yesterday’s events this deeply, she should be working the Cabinet to invoke the 25th amendment - not abdicating the seat that allows her to do so.

Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao is resigning, per two officials. Cites yesterday’s events as reason in email to DOT colleagues, per draft. First Cabinet secretary to resign. Chao is married to Mitch McConnell. More TK.

Tired: Running on ambiguous and centrist half-measures. Wired: Running on improving the material conditions of everyday working people. It expands the electorate and inspires voters! Progressive principles are winning principles #HelloGeorgia 🔥

@davidsirota If he didn't do anything wrong, there isn't anything to pardon him for. First he's got to be investigated, then prosecuted, then convicted, then he'll be eligible for a pardon. Until then, the appropriate use of pardon: "Pardon me, but get the fuck out of the White House."
