Watergate was a simpler time. Gerald Ford's concern that prosecuting Nixon would 'tear the country apart' was due in part to the fact that Americans still venerated the presidency and elected leaders in general. Perhaps that was naive. The fact that Nixon was not prosecuted ushered in an era of belief in the imperial presidency that was not at all what our founders envisioned. It also paved the way for the concerns today that prosecuting a former president who has committed a multitude of crimes small and large will 'tear the country apart.' It was probably a mistake not to prosecute Nixon and it was in many ways the easier course not to. But Trump's crimes would make Nixon blush. And if we truly believe no man is above the law we must demonstrate it.

It's time for Congress to secure protections for LGTBQI+ Americans once and for all by passing the Equality Act. No one should ever face discrimination or live in fear because of who they are or whom they love.

A federal judge in Texas ruled that at least 12 books removed from public libraries by Llano County officials, many because of their LGBTQ and racial content, must be placed back onto shelves within 24 hours, according to an order filed Thursday cnn.it/3nxmc93

@ScottClarkSUEZ Way back in your day, a single, full time minimum wage job could support a small family. Today, it doesn't support one person, let alone a family.

@ScottClarkSUEZ That's not my situation. Unfortunately, it is the situation a lot of my generation finds themselves in. Do you honestly think an entire generation made poor choices? Or maybe...your generation allowed a major imbalance and made the "American Dream" unattainable.

@Morning_Joe @morningmika @JoeNBC Why on earth are you talking about shifting priorities in the US with only one age group represented? Millennials are more focused on making money because we have too. We don't have a choice.

To the GOP:

@HouseGOP @RepJimBanks Are you talking about the one negotiated by Trump??

“Do you have regrets about the withdrawal from Afghanistan?”- @RepJimBanks “I don’t have any regrets.”- Biden’s Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin House Republicans are holding the Biden Admin accountable for their disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

@HouseGOP People care a lot less about energy cost when their kids' school is turning into a war zone. #GunReformNow

This week, House Republicans voted to PASS the Lower Energy Costs Act. House Republicans are committed to reducing expenses for Americans, unleashing domestic energy dominance, and reversing the Biden Administration’s radical anti-energy policies.

@HouseGOP @SpeakerMcCarthy Gun reform!!! #GunReformNow

WATCH @SpeakerMcCarthy highlight how in less than 100 days, House Republicans are already delivering on our Commitment to America. ✅An economy that's strong. ✅A nation that's safe. ✅A future that's built on freedom. ✅A government that's accountable.

@HouseGOP @GOPMajorityWhip When I think about Republicans, all I can think about is dead kids. Machoism won't protect your fragile masculinity. #GunReformNow

“Make no mistake, Americans will remember who stood up to give them some relief at the pump and ended our reliance on foreign dictators for oil. They will also remember the ones that didn’t.” - @GOPMajorityWhip

@HouseGOP How about you end the war in schools???

House Republicans are working to END the war that Joe Biden has waged against American energy.

@SenSherrodBrown Can the purchase of ammunition be made extremely difficult to buy? You can bare all the arms you wait... Good luck being able to shoot them.

@JDVance1 You can't be prolife and pro gun. Why do you stop carrying about life to defend a weapon designed for way?? Is your masculinity really that fragile?

We don't need God or more patriotism, we need money and healthcare. When you struggle to keep a roof over your head, it's hard to feel very patriotic. Wanna fix these things, hold big business accountable.

It's also hard to put religion on the high priority list when you're working 2 jobs, and neither offer health insurance. After 10 years, you still have $150k in student loans on your bachelors and masters degrees. Good degrees that should have led to a great job.

@BryanJFischer it's never too late to come out 🌈🌈🌈

@senrobportman Pass voting rights protections!

I strongly support the legislation offered by Senator Cruz today to re-impose sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. President Biden's decision to waive these sanctions hurts US and EU security while undermining Ukraine's position as a key transit point for European energy.
