Fox News anchor hails Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch for greeting her with "Merry Christmas" to start their interview. Fox News has for years lied to viewers and claimed there is a "war" on Christmas.
Neil Gorsuch says that interpreting the Constitution as a living document leads to decisions like the pro-slavery Dred Scott case. Among the most notable proponents of regarding the Constitution as a living document was Thurgood Marshall, the first black SCOTUS justice.
"I plan to celebrate the bicentennial of the Constitution as a living document, including the Bill of Rights and the other amendments protecting individual freedoms and human right" - Thurgood Marshall, 1987 thurgoodmarshall.com/the-bicentenni…

@SpeakerPelosi responds to @senatemajldr's complaining that the impeachment has been unfair, noting that while the Founders set up a system for a rogue president, "I don't thnk they suspected that we could have a rogue president and a rogue leader in the Senate at the same time."
Having already explained to reporters that she wants a fair process in the Senate and is waiting and seeing what McConnell will do, @SpeakerPelosi asks them if they have any questions on the other pressing issues in Congress.

"I'm not going to go there any more."
.@SpeakerPelosi's reaction to Trump's attack on the Dingells: "Let us pray for the President." She adds that he's "insecure," and notes, "what the President misunderstands is that cruelty is not wit."

i think one of the biggest problems we've got on the left (and i have been guilty of this) is that we think good stuff and accurate history just *happens*. it doesn't. we have to make it happen. we have to say what truly happened to affect the histories. the facts dont just win.
if we keep this lean-back posture up, history will remember george w bush and trump with the same gauzy image it has of reagan.
conservatives are extremely good in yammering loudly about their icons and their ideas. liberals have thought we can merely debunk those assertions without pushing our story and that the facts will just magically win out. it does not work.

there's a lot of knocks u can make against biden, but mike bloomberg saying biden doesn't have the experience to be president is hilarious
also bloomberg is making the "we need a businessman to be president" argument made by such notable figures as george w bush and donald trump, who was impeached.
between 2008-2012, 135 million votes entrusted biden to be a heartbeat away from the presidency

William Ruckelshaus, who defied Nixon during Watergate, dies at 87
Ex-deputy attorney general quit in ‘Saturday Night Massacre’
Led EPA and called Trump’s policy ‘completely fraudulent’
William Ruckelshaus, who famously quit his job in the US justice department rather than carry out Richard Nixon’s order to fire the special prosecutor investigating the Watergate scandal, has died. He was 87.
Ruckelshaus was also the first administrator of the US Environmental Protection Agency, which confirmed his death.

A lifelong Republican, he was also acting director of the FBI. But his moment of fame came on 20 October 1973, when he was a deputy attorney general and joined

.@whatwouldDOOdo I guarantee, whatever negative news/rumors you've heard about @POTUS, are lies and have been completely fabricated. He loves this country and everyone in it! Do NOT fall victim to #MSM and their #FakeNews lies.

Prior to running for office, @realDonaldTrump was adored and admired by many of the people who are attacking him today, in both #Hollywood and Capitol Hill. It's ALL political, not factual, and that's what makes it such a shame.
More reasons for you to go to the @WhiteHouse.
.@realDonaldTrump has done some amazing things for our country. Here's a few...

- Almost 4 million jobs created since election.
- More Americans are now employed than ever recorded before in our history.
- We have created more than 400,000 manufacturing jobs since my election.

Here's a thread on just some of the false claims Trump made in his 115-false-claim week. Again, the variety, audacity and sheer pointlessness of the lying and exaggerating is remarkable. thestar.com/news/world/ana…
"I was with U.S. Steel. They're opening up eight plants, eight." (U.S. Steel has announced major investments in two plants since Trump’s tariffs. Trump initially lied in June that they were opening six plants, then made it seven, then made it eight.)
“The farmers have been shut out from the EU...They've been shut out from Canada, as you know...They've been shut out, to a large extent, in China.” (Canada is the #1 export market for U.S. agriculture. China is #2. The EU is #5.)
