Just got more photos from the same “scandalous” photo shoot. Here instead of Al Franken “groping” me, I'm “strangling” him. I hope the statute of limitations has expired! #lockmeup
Mike Murphy: "I’m a conservative Republican, I can disagree with Joe Biden all day long...but I’ve never been 1) more embarrassed and 2) certain that Donald Trump is unfit to be president — I mean what does he have to do, set himself on fire?”
I think I’m a better judge of how I felt in that satirical photo shoot with Al Franken than the recollections of an anonymous bystander. I thought the point of this moment was to believe women’s accounts of their own experiences.
Yang: “We have to stop confusing economic value and human value." #DemDebate
We’re not used to hearing about mental health and stress in presidential debates. Andrew Yang is changing that. #DemDebate
My second book was rejected by 36 publishers. After 25 rejections, I was broke and walked into a bank and asked for a loan, which, shockingly, they gave me. That allowed me to keep going for 12 more rejections. But, as they say, 38th time is charm. #ShareYourRejection
The NYPost story about Al Franken groping me in a comedy sketch photo trivializes sexual harassment because he was no more "groping" me than I was "strangling" him in the photo I just tweeted
Only way this makes sense: ends with “Live, from New York, it’s Saturday Night!" #debate
Three ways to lower the level of gun violence in the U.S.:

Trump hovering over her now. I’d advise her to stay out of grabbing distance. #debate
What an entirely different definition of America —that we become more American by addition and not subtraction #DemsInPhilly
If the other debates are going to be like this one, they should just be cancelled. #Debates2020
We need a new word for when the President does something that’s both completely not surprising and yet still shocking and appalling
Pence is a great reminder that sounding civil and soft-spoken doesn’t mean you’re telling the truth.

I thought HuffPost would be my last act. But I’ve decided to step down as HuffPost’s editor-in-chief to run my new venture, Thrive Global.
Things that more readily brings to mind witch hunts in American history: a man leading thousands of people to chant “lock her up!"
Happy birthday ! Here, she talks about learning to say no after feeling overworked and unhappy early on in her career. Rejecting a broken definition of success? There’s nothing “Shallow” about that.
Trump doesn’t have the discipline not to interrupt Clinton’s answer about whether he has the discipline to be President
When Morgan Freeman tells you to “look at her face,” you look at her face #DemsInPhilly

Trump’s body language is the kind that usually triggers a “go home, get some sleep” from the bartender. #debate
Biden: "To make progress we have to stop treating our opponents as enemies.”
Because if there’s anybody who understands “inner cities,” it’s Donald Trump
After ’s show-stopping halftime performance with , it’s such a teachable moment to see how much self-doubt and rejection she went through before she got to the #superbowl. Please share this with anyone who is going through their own self-doubts now!
Wait, a press secretary just stating facts and then answering questions truthfully? This is going to take some getting used to.
And the first woman, the first Black woman, in the White House.
Trump says if he paid taxes, “it would be squandered.” No, it would pay for roads, water, the military, the court system you use so much.
Can we circle back to a candidate not pledging to accept a democratic election and what that might mean? #debatenight
For clarity: Ice is melting at the POLES. Votes are still being counted now that the POLLS have closed.
Biden: "I'm not here to call out his lies. Everyone already knows he's a liar." #Debates2020
An outrageous, backwards looking decision, but the answer is to channel that outrage forward. 34 members of the body who confirmed these justices are up for reelection in 136 days.
With fresh scars from surgery paid for by the public, McCain casts vote that could deny same services to millions of others. #legacy
Okay, you can let the kids back into the living room — the presidential debate is over. #debate
Wonder if any of the 40,000 homeless veterans will be asked to march in the $$$$ military parade….
Important lesson learned tonight: no part of the country should be ceded to a regressive, backwards-looking vision of America.
Amazing kids — creating the world they want to live in, rather than accepting the one they’ve been given. #MarchForOurLives
Yang: "Strong societies would elect more women leaders.”
#DemDebate
Amazing that we’re in a time where it’s a point of contrast for a candidate to say “I believe in science” #DemsInPhilly
Congratulations to the new Democratic Senator from Alabama — tomorrow is a new day.
Trump thinks the reason there are wildfires in California is because the forests aren’t “clean."

Nine months in and this administration is still hitting new lows.
Going to wear my eclipse glasses when watching presidential press conferences to see if it makes them seem less dangerous.
The bravery of this woman — imagine if House and Senate leadership, including those sitting in front of her, had the same courage and sense of duty to country that she does.
Those living in the states with the most restrictive abortion laws where abortion is likely to immediately become illegal, are also more likely to die while pregnant or shortly thereafter. So let’s dispense with the idea that this is a “pro-life” decision.
So excited that my successor as EIC of HuffPost will be Lydia Polgreen, who I know will take HP to new heights. Here w/ Lydia & her wife.
Trump says he “hasn’t spoken” to Pence about Syria and that they “disagree.” Okay. #debate
Jack Ma said, "If we want to change the world, we change ourselves" or as Lao-Tzu said 2600 years ago:
Trump: “I didn’t even apologize to my wife” / I believe this. #debatenight
Senate statements are great, but Senate votes > Senate statements
Trump says he wants “drug tests” for next debate, implying Clinton was on something. Yes, it’s called sleep; he should try it.
"Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you." - Ruth Bader Ginsburg
I’m normally in favor of breathing exercises, but not sure what's going on with Trump #debate

Congratulations to President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.
If you have a social movement that needs a massive marketing boost, get the president to attack it.
If we valued conformity and silence over dissent and protest we’d have a different flag.
We need Zoom’s “raise your hand” button for this debate. #Debates2020
Wedding dances are always powerful, and weddings always a combination of courage and vulnerability, but this one tops them all. Believe me you won’t be able to watch without tearing up.
Isn’t it amazing to see members of a presidential ticket who can smile and have the capacity for joy and empathy?
The arc of the moral universe doesn't bend by itself, and it's got 's fingerprints and blood all over it. #hero
Must be depressing (even sad!) to watch Olympics when you’re invested in the idea of America as a loser nation

The reason for those 128 judicial openings wasn’t because of Biden, but McConnell.
