@CenDemTech I’m having issues accessing your webinar. Is it full? I tried to register earlier this morning and it put me on a wait list.

Stock Up: Booker, Castro, Inslee Stock Down: Beto, Klobuchar #DemDebate
Julian Castro isn’t going to get the nomination, but he’s really impressed me tonight. #DemDebate

Cory Booker has elevated his stock more than anyone tonight. #DemocraticDebate

There appears to be unanimous support for increasing the @FTC’s #DataPrivacy authority on this panel. Couldn’t have seen this coming a year ago!
There’s a legitimate discussion to be had about this #FreeSpeech issue, but this hearing certainly isn’t it. Rs are using it to play the victim and lash out at tech. What a waste.
This @HouseJudiciary is making me nervous. You can certainly argue with how companies are moderating their platforms, but members of this Committee seem to have a real interest in curbing our First Amendment rights. #FreeSpeech
Do Republican politicians realize what a joke their "thoughts and prayers" statements have become?
The #SESTA hearing is perpetuating a false dichotomy: pass SESTA or let sex traffickers run rampant online. There are other paths forward.

This #SESTA hearing is so frustrating. This specific bill isn't the only way to go after sex trafficking online. There are other options!

Hillary sums it up pretty well. "Horrifying" that Trump won't accept the results of the election.
The old pivot from sexual assault claims to Hillary's emails move. Classic.

Trump was actually off to a pretty solid start but predictably going off the rails talking about Russia now.
