Brett Pransky, former Ohio State House candidate, English Professor @BrettPransky

Brett Pransky: It's nearly criminal to cause this type of danger to other people--and needless danger.

@BrettPransky

Mark Paul, Assistant Professor of Economics at New College of Florida @MarkVinPaul

Mark Paul: I think we'll get some kind of stimulus package but it'll be 1/5 to 1/4 of what we actually need. It'll be like putting a Band-Aid on a gaping wound.

@MarkVinPaul

Sarah Burris, Reporter, Raw Story @SarahBurris @RawStory

Sarah Burris: You see the difference between Swalwell, who said he'd never see the Chinese girl again & shared all his info, & the people in the Trump admin, incl Trump, & how they reacted to possible Russian spies like Maria Butina.

Dr. Kelly Sennholz @MtnMD

Dr. Kelly Sennholz: Do you remember when Dr. Fauci said in Feb or March that if we don't get the virus under control during the summer, it will be out of control by the fall? It's out of control now.

Aaron Ford, Nevada Attorney General @AaronDFordNV

Aaron Ford: They've made it hard to vote in certain jurisdictions. They try to make your vote not count, or try to throw the vote out, or try to get the election results overthrown, & on & on & on. Those of us who are patriots will continue to prevail in court.

@AaronDFordNV

Thomas Ultican, teacher, blogger @tultican @BadassTeachersA

Thomas Ultican: Indianapolis is the "ugly," hands down. They've been attacked by privatization forces for decades. The mayor is Mr. Privatize Public Schools.

Bob Ney, Political Analyst/Former OH Congressman @BobNey

Bob Ney: I do think, when it comes to the inauguration, there are different categories of people who supported Trump. Maybe 20-30% didn't care for Biden or Harris so they voted for Trump. I can't imagine they'd be happy w/ Trump's deal on the inauguration.

Kevin Harris, People For the American Way Chief Campaigns Officer @peoplefor pfaw.org

Kevin Harris: It's harder & harder to be surprised by what comes out of the Republican party these days. There was no excuse for Perdue not to show up for the debate in GA. Will he show up when we need him in Washington??

@peoplefor

Propane Jane @docrocktex26

Propane Jane: The electorate is looking less & less like the groups of people they want them to look like, so their recourse is 2nd amendment & suppressing votes, removing people from voting rolls.

Bob Ney: I was on the Sarbanes-Oxley committee; former Sen. Sarbanes died yesterday. He was very knowledgeable. Sen. Oxley died a few years ago.
