I follow Joy Reid, David Corn, Kurt Eichenwald, Keith Olbermann, Laurence Tribe, DU, and about a dozen more. I also like RiotWomenn a lot.

Maybe others can post their favorites, and we can both find more good sources? Thanks!

Full analysis of the election in one tweet: Too many democrats demand purity or wont vote, while most republicans want victory, and so vote.

I've always considered it a waste of time, but if I can contribute to driving Trump over the edge I'm in.

Trump has destroyed Twitter for political purposes. let it become his cesspool. We need top start a new site that only has verifiable people.

I see enough dreck on Facebook.

Besides which, cleaning my dog's anal glands would be a much more useful activity than reading or listening to Donald Trump speeches.
