It’s happening... again.
Everyone's talking about us! That's why #Newsbroke is coming back for season two. Because though he tries, Trump can't kill satire.
.@replyall why do i get the feeling that ^space^ already has more subscribers than my year-old podcast
@Insta_Talk Hi, I’m reaching out to folks who have tweeted about how NCAA should/should not pay its athletes, and wondering if you’re interested in sharing ur thoughts on video for a Snapchat news show. LMK and I’ll send details! Would only need ~ 1 minute recording

Laugh so hard you'll get cramps! Or maybe you already have cramps. Either way make room in your brain for Vicious Cycle: The Musical -- a menstrual journey through song!
Coming to SF & Oakland, along with 8 other sketch shows, as part of KML Presents: Triple Feature, 5/16-6/1

My amazing friend and fellow @ucbsoj survivor @ElstonKate started a podcast with her awesome comedy pals called Vicious Cycle where they demystify menstrual issues and debunk period myths and I got to write about one particular episode for @HowStuffWorks!: health.howstuffworks.com/sex… – at San Francisco, CA

We at Newsbroke were on the Congressman-Steve-King-is-a-white-supremacist beat before it was cool. @franifio @mattlieb @ElstonKate facebook.com/newsbroke/video…

My friend @ElstonKate made a kickass podcast about periods + you should listen to it because no one ever talks about periods unless they're women's health nerds like me + not talking about important stuff affecting >half the population is silly + dangerous soundcloud.com/user-46104097…

#SCOTUS ducks effort in GOP-led states to defund Planned Parenthood & other orgs. The case is not about abortion, but abt Medicaid funding for cancer screening, prenatal care, birth control, etc. n.pr/2B5pTHo.

.@AdamSchiff on the Russia Investigation: My takeaway is there's a very real prospect that on the day Donald Trump leaves office the justice department may indict him. That he may be the first president in quite some time to face the real prospect of jail time.

What's a man to do in the era of #MeToo? We took 7 awesome dudes to Man School with author and counselor @mattytheglue to unlearn patriarchy. (Trigger warning for the especially fragility): youtube.com/watch?v=KqG7WvV7…

Barriers could be broken tonight. #ElectionDay
🇺🇸 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could become the youngest woman elected to Congress

Today's Nikki Haley news got me remembering that one time she gave an interview in the same outfit Liz Lemon wore whenever she wanted to look fancy.

I got the polygraph test Dr. Ford took showing truthfulness about her account in the record. To quote a judge: “law enforcement agencies use polygraphs to test the credibility of witnesses” & the tests “serve law enforcement purposes.” That judge was Brett Kavanaugh in 2016 case.

The sad privilege tantrum @LindseyGrahamSC just threw, claiming a sexual assault allegation is just Democratic trickery, reflects how the entire @GOP feels right now: shook. We're coming for you in November mfckrs. #BlueWave #GOTV #CancelKavanugh
