Gov. Huckabee Sanders' GOP response to the #StateOfTheUnion fanned flames of division and bigotry, appealing to our worst fears instead of our highest ideals. Her remarks were an assault on transgender Americans, and her hatred of our families must never go unchallenged. #mapoli

Great thread & please complete the action item at the end! #mapoli

Progressive Mass @ProgressiveMass

So let's talk about why term limits for the Senate Presidency are important. A thread. (1/x) #mapoli
