In the future, we need to make sure anyone who runs for president & is president has at least a basic understanding of the election process & election laws. Perhaps we can create a class for those who run for office? Elections 101?

My friend @SenGillibrand is a brave voice on some of the most critical issues facing our country today — from childcare to sexual assault. She is a champion and I know she’s not done fighting for women and families everywhere.

I'm sorry to see Sen. Gillibrand (my senator, I'm proud to say) leave the race, but I'm really glad to read this: "Kirsten will relaunch her Off the Sidelines PAC by October and will raise and invest at least $1 million to elect women this cycle."

Today, I am ending my campaign for president. I am so proud of this team and all we've accomplished. But I think it’s important to know how you can best serve. To our supporters: Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Now, let's go beat Donald Trump and win back the Senate.

Gillibrand is a smart and gutsy politician, who I believe has a long future in progressive politics. Her departure marks the end of having a record-breaking five women in the Democratic primary; I’m really sorry to see her go first.

A Star Tribune examination of more than 1,000 recent sexual assault cases shows pervasive failings by law enforcement. Many cases were never even assigned to an investigator. strib.mn/deniedjustice

This is a great speech if you in no way consider reality.

RT if you believe that we must hold our POTUS to a higher standard than "he delivered a written speech calmly." That don't impress me much

President now telling Congress a great story about the time he won an election. #JointAddress

A very low bar

Incredibly, it's newsworthy when the President comes out against hate crimes.

Flynn's resignation CANNOT be end of the story. Who talked to who? When? Who knew? When? How far up did it go? How much of dossier true?

Election officials agree that there is no serious problem of non-citizen voting in our elections. trib.al/DprHM5s

Among other things Miller lies when he says "nobody" disputes that "massive" # of noncitizens registered to vote in U.S. Cringeworthy lies.

Trump aide Stephen Miller repeats Trump's blatantly false claim about mass illegal voting. There is zero evidence.

Just because a filibuster would be broken (it would) doesn't mean Democrats shouldn't do it. Analysis: electionlawblog.org/?p=90808

Wouldn't a filibuster be immediately broken by republicans + 7-8 of the dems who have already said they wont filibuster?

It’s striking—though not surprising—how many women are on the front lines of this political fight. 👏🏼👏🏾👏🏿 thecut.io/2jRnSEQ @rtraister

Let me repeat: the @POTUS fired the nation’s top law enforcement officer for refusing to defend an illegal, unconstitutional, immoral order.
