What Pelosi said on impeachment

There’s no question that impeachment shouldn’t be initiated until enough of Trump’s crimes are accepted by both sides of the aisle. I don’t understand why this is even controversial! Ignore all the noise, Pelosi knows what she’s doing:

I think Pelosi is an effective leader, mostly, but this is constitutionally deficient. If you rule out impeachment, you are abandoning an essential check on the president. It is the only practical way to remove a president from office who has broken the law. pic.twitter.com/6TV6ssVSFs

Helps to read the whole article:
"Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country. And he’s just not worth it." https://t.co/QApJJyQPIm

Facebook, Google, and Amazon have mastered a very powerful business model: Monopolize their platform and force other companies out of business. We’ve got to do something about it. pic.twitter.com/cy4k1ewqSD

Facebook confirms it took down Elizabeth Warren's ads about Facebook, but is in the process of restoring them.

FB spox: "We removed the ads because they violated our policies against use of our corporate logo. In the interest of allowing robust debate, we are restoring the ads.”
