Sarah Burris: I didn't think I could be surprised any more...and then there was David Pecker. AMI & David Pecker made a cooperation agreement with Mueller. AMI can't break ANY kind of law or the entire cooperation agreement is over.
@SarahBurris @RawStory
Bob Ney: What is going on with Adam Schiff is ten times the stress on the White House that the Russian investigation is.

John Stoehr: One thing missing from Trump's speech last night was trust. He may be telling the truth but we don't trust him.
@johnastoehr
Justin Duckham: It was a controversial speech last night; right in the middle of it was a comment about not having peace & legislation if you have war & investigation. Referencing Mueller w/o mentioning his name. Raised eyebrows all over D.C. #SOTU

Chris Lilienthal: I am absolutely for investing in our kids' education in PA. Gov Wolf is creating a vision for PA & is working for it.
@ChrisLilienthal @PSEA
Pat LaMarche: There's no wall tall enough to keep drugs/people out...unless it goes to the moon.
@PatHLaMarche
Sharon Kann: The underlying assumption about people who have abortions is horribly stigmatizing. Abortions later in pregnancy are because something is very wrong with the fetus or because of danger to the mother.
@sharonkann @mmfa
Luke Vargas: Given how little preparation there was to secure America's voting network, I wouldn't be surprised if there were still some embarrassment at how vulnerable our voting machines remain.

Alaa Milbes: We need grass roots groups to work together to hold corporations responsible for benefiting the community when they receive tax & other incentives.

Propane Jane: I'm very proud that Stacey Abrams will give the Democratic rebuttal speech for many reasons. Future of the party, push back against racism, b/c of the way her election turned out.

Bob Ney: A previous Senator of WV was a member of KKK; he recanted, & nothing in the rest of his life ever indicated anything untoward. BUT you can't go from "I'm sorry" on Fri to "It wasn't me" on Sat. He'll have to resign.

Michael Linden: Why have American workers become more and more productive the last 35 years while their salaries haven't increased? We have to put a check on the amt of money flowing to the top so it can go where it's supposed to.

Khary Penebaker: Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
