Maybe this party CAN come back… Democratic voters want To fight special interests Abundance Economic populism Immigration security and reform A lower cost of living Younger leaders
Horrific: 34 Christians were slaughtered by ISIS-linked terrorists while worshipping at church today in Komanda, Congo. Unspeakable evil.
Buried in this rant against fellow GOP Rep. Randy Fine: MTG says a genocide is taking place in Gaza.
I remember the first time I met Randy Fine when he was a candidate before he barely won Florida’s deep red 6th district seat, as we were being told he might actually lose the seat because the strong Trump district couldn’t relate to him and didn’t like him. He was telling me that…
Not that hard it turns out!
What happened to all the “this is pointless, Democrats have no mechanism to do this, why even try” people from a few weeks ago?
I don’t think people realize how central Gaza is becoming to American politics. Especially on the Dem side where there is an infinite gulf between what the base wants and what the leaders are doing.
Disagree. Of course Mamdani won on affordability, but that conveniently ignores how Z’s opposition tried to make his position on I/P into a liability & failed miserably. Zohran’s commitment to Palestine was a strength; for many voters, it is a litmus test for trust/authenticity.
If your Administration is still for full transparency then @JDVance join @TheoVon in supporting a vote on @RepThomasMassie & my bipartisan bill calling for a full release of the files. It is that simple.
Vance on Epstein files: Donald J. Trump has nothing to hide. That’s why he has been an advocate for full transparency
THIS IS ALARMING: Trump & Greg Abbott are teaming up to hijack the redistricting process to favor Donald Trump. #txlege
THIS IS ALARMING: Obama & Eric Holder are teaming up to hijack the redistricting process to favor Democrats. #tcot politico.com/story/2016/10/…
One day this tweet will be in a museum and people will shake their heads and wonder how someone could be so deeply evil
The Thump Thump Act will allow Americans to run over these Muslim Terrorists. They don’t try this in Florida because of the bill I helped pass in the Legislature to allow them to be run over. It’s time to take it national. Thump thump.
Sickening, sad, and utterly damning that this is what we are funding
NEW—"A lot of children have passed the point of no return...The gut lining has started to auto-digest & will no longer [absorb] water or nutrition. Death is imminent for 1000s" An American doctor just back from Gaza on where US-Israeli policy is taking us: huffpost.com/entry/gaza-sta…
No masks. Body cameras for all. This is the bare minimum.
🚨Holy shit. How is this not a much bigger story?? Border Patrol agents mock and harass an 18-year-old U.S. citizen. Tell him he has no rights. Laugh about the bonus they’re going to get for deporting him? AND say they’re going to have to start shooting those they detain.
Random policy idea: big blue city libraries should let out of area residents pay slightly more for access to online library services.
What if we ran folks who actually believed in things
Striking: Zohran Mamdani's video about returning to Uganda racked up 4.5 million Instagram views, 56% among nonfollowers, per data given to me. He's offering a new answer to Dem digital woes. I talked to his team in depth about it. Fascinating. 1/ (link) newrepublic.com/article/198482…
Our values have to align. We don’t need to have the same hobbies, same taste in music or the same love languages. But if we don’t see the world through a similar moral lens it’s not going to work. Because at the end
What’s y’all non negotiable in a relationship?
Two of the greatest Jewish intellectuals of the last century, Hannah Arendt and Albert Einstein, would be judged antisemitic under Columbia University’s new policy adopting IHRA propaganda that falsely equates criticism of either Zionism or Israel with antisemitism.
.@adam_tooze on the singular character of the Israeli-imposed famine in Gaza:
It’s so bleak they couldn’t even get a majority of Senate Dems to sign what should be the bare minimum at this point
Houston City Council candidates who didn’t show up to the redistricting hearing should just drop out of the race now. We are not interested in the same boring corporate technocratic blah blah in this moment. If you’re not fighting for Houstonians with every breath, then stay…
Retrofitting Trump's 747-8 luxury jet bribe from Qatar might cost taxpayers $934 million (!!!)
You shouldn’t be charged more or paid less because of your ZIP code or search history. I just introduced a bill to ban “surveillance pricing” — when corporations use your data to hike up prices or cut your wages. It’s invasive. It’s exploitative. And it needs to end.
