I have many simple Christmas wishes that our politicians won't give us. Like paid family leave. 84% of Americans want it. It gives moms, or the primary caregiver of a newborn child, 12 weeks off to take care of their baby. But apparently, this is too much to wish for in America. Or a cease fire in Gaza that over two-thirds of Americans want. Could you please not kill any more innocent civilians where Jesus was born, at least on Christmas? Or ever. Stop funding endless wars!

When toxic people attack you online, you're put in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. They make up horrible accusations and outrageous lies about you. If you don't respond, people start to believe it's true because you didn't say anything. If you do respond ... ...they then say you're part of the drama and then pull you deeper in with new toxic, absurd allegations. That's exactly what the alt-left, like @jimmy_dore & @ggreenwald, did here. After a series of absurd charges, they then said the victim of sexual harrasment is the one ...

On #MartinLutherKingDay don't be lulled into a false sense of complacency by quotes about love that every moderate trots out about #MLK today. He was a radical progressive who believed in fundamental change and the "fierce urgency of now." So, read his real quotes here: "We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

That's now been so successful that others are taking credit for it & many establishment Democrats are signing on, including my opponent in #CA25 race! There is one big problem 1/5 Now establishment politicians have found a loophole, which is to launder the corporate money through other political PACs. In fact, my opponent @ChristyforCA25 is the master of this. She claims to take no corporate money but in reality has Koch Brothers money funneled to her! 2/5

The anti-Muslim bigot @billmaher thinks the BDS movement is wrong and "virtue signaling." Shocker! He thinks the permanent occupation of Palestine is totally fine because what does he give a shit about those people? They're Muslims!! You know, the irredeemable ones. Bill, why don't you get more of your right-wing buddies and fellow bigots like @SamHarrisOrg to come on and talk about how Muslims are so different? Their religion is hopeless and it makes them who they are - and that's why we have to have them caged up like animals and occupied.
