There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

Vote early. Election Day is the end of the election, not the beginning. With everything this regime is going to do to suppress our votes, it’s imperative that we leave plenty of time to correct any issues.

Buttigieg: The fact that the Trump admin deleted references to 4 American service members killed in action b/c that simple and tragic reality complicates their narrative that we're not at war, when everybody knows that we are, shows how far from reality they are. I think voters are fed up with it.

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

If someone worked for you and they didn’t show up for over a month without a phone call or update, would they still have a job? Asking for millions of taxpayers and Kentucky constituents. It’s time to raise your voices. He works for you. What do you want to do? #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1

Am I reading this correctly? Trump's big emerging Iran "deal" would simply restore things to where they were before he launched his disastrous war, only Iran would be getting *more* than before?

The United States government just agreed to pay $1.8 billion to the United States president, approved by the president's own personal lawyer who represented him when he was convicted of 34 criminal counts. This is the biggest scandal in all of American political history.

Virginia voters showed up. Over 3 MILLION of them. And a court just threw their votes in the trash. This is voter suppression wearing a robe. Hakeem is right — this is unprecedented, undemocratic, and it CANNOT stand. Our fight is not over. We are just getting started. No Jim Crow 2.0

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.
Replying to 
@JenniferJJacobs
The shooting happened on the level above the ballroom where the White House Correspondents Association dinner was. 
I don't think people hearing about this -- or even those of us in the room -- realized how far from the president, VP and other guests this incident was. It was on another floor, up some stairs and several sets of security away. 
Because the Washington Hilton's hotel and other public spaces were open for other functions, the entire building wasn't secured by the Secret Service, just the specific areas where the WHCA dinner was held, law enforcement officials told @CBSNews
.

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

Edward R. Murrow famously used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. He got his start on CBS Radio, which will sadly be shut down after nearly 100 years of operation. We need more journalists holding the powerful accountable like this.
