It's true! Sanders joins Harris, Warren, Brown, Gillibrand, Klobuchar, Booker, and Gabbard among *current* federal-level elected officials who have perfect scores from @HRC.

So, basically, everyone who fits that particular description had a perfect score in 2018.
And if Merkley joins the race, he also has a perfect score from HRC.

Biden, Castro, Hickenlooper, Buttigieg, Inslee, Bullock, Bloomberg, McAuliffe, and Kerry are not current federal-level elected officials, and have no score.

O'Rourke left Congress with a score of 100 in 2018.
So, I guess what I'm trying to say is: a score of "100" is laudable and marks excellent LGBTQ allyship in Congress, but it's not a distinguishing factor in this group of candidates. Which is a good thing!

.@BernieSanders Senator, this is a bad idea, and it's a bad look. I say this with respect: don't do this. Give @StaceyAbrams the stage tomorrow night. All of it.
I would say this to any elected official in Congress. Just don't do this, @BernieSanders. Please. You have a wonderful opportunity here to build some bridges and more importantly: allow for undivided attention to be given to @StaceyAbrams on a national stage. Please rethink this.
Just one day. That's all. Wait until the little hand does two complete cycles and have at it. Why is that so much to ask? Why is @BernieSanders choosing the same night as the first Black woman to deliver a State of the Union response? It is so damn disrespectful.

I can't believe Ralph Northam briefly considered demonstrating the Moonwalk in a press conference as a way to prove he dressed in blackface as Michael Jackson for a dance contest in the '80s in order to convince folks he didn't appear in blackface in a photo on his yearbook page.
I cannot believe how close we came to seeing that. Would there have been a rip in the fabric of the space-time continuum? Would we have all died?
I'm guessing at least 70% of the folks who follow my feed but aren't watching this press conference think I'm joking. I am not joking. This is actually happening.

I’m gonna write a thread about the exploration of Obama’s blackness, in 2008, how divisive it was and how we in media can avoid perpetuating the falsehoods of blackness in our coverage. We really need to have a healthy dialogue about it.
The reality is that race matters in politics. In fact, it’s the number one element in everything that makes this nation function. When Obama entered the national stage, it really wasn’t white people who questioned his blackness. It was black people. And it was harsh.
When Obama announced his run for president in 2007, Tavis Smiley and other black people who were considered kingmakers were offended he didn’t announce at Tavis’s “State of the Black Union.”

Michael Avenatti said—out loud to reporters—that the democratic presidential nominee in 2020 “better be a white male” because “when you have a white male make the arguments, they carry more weight.”

Better be a white male, my ass. He better go sit down.
time.com/5434317/michae…
And no, it doesn’t make it better that he said it shouldn’t be that way, but that’s just the way it is.

Fuck him.
Avenatti is clearly trying to appeal to Never Trumpers because he thinks they won’t be comfortable with electing another person of color as president.

He’s outright advocating for maintaining white male supremacy.

NEWS: Trump announces he's nominating Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court. 53-year-old DC Circuit judge, former Bush White House staff secretary, worked on Ken Starr's team in the Bill Clinton investigation.
Trump says Kavanaugh is committed to "equal justice under the law."
100% of Trump's Supreme Court nominees have clerked for Anthony Kennedy.

2. June's IG report indicated that Obama was one of the 13 individuals with whom #HRC had direct contact using her clintonemail.com account. How did #QAnon know who all exactly 13 were last January? #Q

3. #QAnon Why does @POTUS repeatedly refer to 13 Angry Democrats? There are at least 18 prosecutors on Muellar's team. #Q
