Many have responded to these Qs already. Here are some others: 1. Do you think Rs will refrain from changing the size of the Court if necessary to preserve their power if Ds don't open the door? Why, given they already shrank SCOTUS to 8 in 2016-17 and have expanded high courts in UT, AZ, & GA?

Classic authoritarianism. But we will not be intimidated.

So, basically, we all thought The Last Jedi was pretty decent, but Russian bots stirred up controversy and got us all to flee into our corners like cage fighters? Wow. #thelastjedi

Senator Collins pledged to serve 2 terms in Congress and yet, here we are, 30 years later. Let's retire Susan Collins once and for all.

Term limits and an ethics code are as popular as ever, but Supreme Court expansion at 68 percent among Democrats and 56 percent *among independents*?? The first candidates to figure out that "I will vote to add at least four seats on day one" is a winning message are gonna absolutely clean up.

Party ID	Favor or oppose
Favor	Oppose
Enforce strict ethics code for justices
Republican	91	9
Independent	81	19
Democrat	91	9
Limited terms for justices
Republican	71	29
Independent	75	25
Democrat	88	12
Increase number of justices

This is perverse.

Third Way calls Supreme Court expansion unpopular. But a Marquette Law School poll found majority support for it.

If you're in these 3 states, *TODAY* is deadline to register to vote. Alaska Rhode Island South Carolina Even if you think you've registered: doesn't hurt to check everything is in order. Do it now. And there's a lot to vote for across them. A thread with stakes on each. โฌ‡๏ธ

The NYT dropped 5 major Senate polls this morning โ€” and they tell you exactly why the GOP is freaking out about the Senate. Alaska: Peltola up 50/43 Texas: Talarico up 51/45 Ohio: Brown up 49/46 Kansas: a 45/45 tie Iowa: Hinson up 48/47.

When Third Way disses Supreme Court expansion, you know you must be doing something right. #ExpandSCOTUS

Democrats must reform the Supreme Court. When that moment comes, they must repeat the mantra: Be like Mitch.

"Voters donโ€™t care if youโ€™re playing procedural hardball. What matters is who has power."
