Matt Smith

@patdennis He would not have been drummed out for purity reasons because he is to the left of the democratic establishment. If he was a moderate we wouldn’t be talking about him. He’s a guy that wants to put people against the wall.

nominating somebody who, 5 years ago, would have been drummed out of the party for purity reasons, is a step on the road to fixing that image

a thing that explains the delta between Trump's unpopularity and the generic ballot is dems spent years telling people "if you're morally stained in our eyes, we don't want you in our club" and voters believed we were talking about them

@annakhachiyan Her prostitution is a cover for her support of “sex work.” She feels she can lecture others and dismiss the harm prostitution creates because her experience has been great.

I’m willing to bet good money on reports of Aella’s prostitution being greatly exaggerated. When men call her a prostitute, even as an insult, they’re giving her what she wants.

@jaketapper This issue is not the auto pen. It’s that Biden had dementia and didn’t know what he was doing.

I'd cover it the same way: here's what's being said, here's the Constitution, here's the law. FYI, here's a 2005 DOJ OLC assertion on autopens, fwiw: justice.gov/olc/opinion/wh…

@ManhattanDA They only appear to be down. Because you won’t prosecute victims are underreporting.

In Manhattan, major crime is down in nearly every category over the past two years ⬇️

@andrewcuomo These are your voters

This is not freedom of speech — this is breaking and entering and a coordinated effort to intimidate and harass and threaten people.   Free speech, yes. Peaceful demonstrations, yes. Robust debate, yes. But that’s not what this is. Enforce the law.  Where are our leaders?

@melissadderosa These are your voters. This is your coalition. Coumo didn’t do shit about this or crime when he was in charge.

There has been ZERO leadership from elected officials in NYS on this. None. (and no, a photo on twitter doesn't count). And now, here we are. What kind of message does this send to jewish and non-jewish students alike just trying to live and study peacefully? What message does it send to NY'ers about the rule of law?

@SalazarSenate What about the police?

Have you been the victim of a crime? Perhaps someone you know? Please consider these resources.

@NYDailyNews Why is anyone who stabbed a three year old offered parole?

Parolee is charged with attempted murder for NYC subway shove that severed girlfriend’s feet Suspect Christian Valdez made headlines in 2017 for stabbing a woman and her 3-year-old daughter and threatening to toss the girl off a fire escape. trib.al/oVLW3Qm

If you wanna say the glass is half-full for Biden, that's fine. Personally, I'm closer to half-empty. Google some random press conferences from 2010 compare them to tonight. It's subjective. But elections are subjective. And voters are emphatically half-empty on Biden too.

The distinction voters seem to intuit that the political class doesn't is that there's a difference between being able to do the job now and *asking for another four years* until you're 86.

@NYDailyNews Eyes above ears

Pennsylvania man accused of beheading his father previously sued the U.S. for $10M over student loans because he claims he should have been warned his status as an "overeducated, white male" would hurt his job prospects. trib.al/bSnVYbW

Dude, the scientific consensus is that a lab leak is entirely plausible. Even Dr. Fauci said that just this week. You're still citing articles from 2 years ago calling it xenophobic to consider the hypothesis? You're literally spreading misinformation!

At this point I've come to have a grudging respect people who are still into new COVID variants like I respect people who are into the nth sequel of obscure movie franchises.

Pretty worried about this new chronoweapon that can force you to go back as many as 27 years in time and commit plagiarism.

Some dudes are literally incapable of thinking about their profession in an ethical way, they have no moral compass and so they assume any disagreement must be motivated by a personal vendetta.

@RepSwalwell @GavinNewsom Do you think all premeditated murderers should get life without parole?

Very much support @GavinNewsom’s decision to deny parole to Sirhan Sirhan. Sirhan murdered an elected official seeking the highest office in America. Sirhan should spend the rest of his life in prison for that. Not to mention, political violence today is on the rise.

@AymanM @shaunking Lol what social media post is getting you charged with terrorism if you just like it? What websites are you talking about?

For 20 years, Muslim-Americans have lived with the fear if they visited the wrong website or liked a controversial social media post they could face terrorism charges. Meanwhile, we’re debating if Americans who attacked Congress and tried to topple our democracy are terrorists?

We cannot sacrifice training standards. Ever. Full stop. If this account is true, our military needs to address it now. @SecDef

@cenkuygur @TheYoungTurks Didn't you lose an election?

I explain everyday on @TheYoungTurks what Democrats can do and CHOOSE not to. There are a lot of constructive solutions but Democratic leadership absolutely refuses to do them because they’re not on our team. They’re complete liars. They work 100% in service of their donors.

@oliviagatwood So maybe don't abolish prisons?
