Love ya, Kamala Harris, but hard disagree. Impeach in the House. Don’t care if the Senate doesn’t convict. If I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, I’d feel duty-bound to impeach in the House. To at least try. And to be as much of a thorn in the side to this administration as I could be.

Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

MΓ©lanie Joly: "What was interesting in his interview is that [Cleveland-Cliffs CEO] mentioned that Stelco was a competitor that he wanted to get rid of... he's proving our case."

A reminder for Corporate Democrats: New research from Yale found that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. It's no surprise why the majority of Americans β€” including 90% of Democratic voters β€” support it.

just heartbreaking stuff Alex Pretti's mother calls out ICE and the Trump administration for killing her son and smearing his name, and calls for justice to be done.

As proof that this remark made people think of Donald Trump, JD Vance recited a new version today. He no longer talks about a "tinpot dictator," but "a FOREIGN leader IN THE MIDDLE EAST." That is, "I'm not talking about the tinpot dictator in DC, y'all!!!"

πŸ”₯ BEN MEISELAS ERUPTS: The Cheesecake Factory faux outrage exposes the propaganda machine. They brainwash Americans into fighting each other while oligarchs steal our healthcare, send our kids to endless wars, and buy more yachts. Divide the people. Enrich the oligarchs.

This is a deep truth about fascism and fascist thought. It's why studying fascism and trying to understand the motives of fascists is so incredibly frustrating - Nothing means anything except that which improves the fascist's aesthetic

Power and status are power and status, & if that power and status is constructed via "taboo" means, what of it? - The fascist was born to be a prince of the universe, and can change the rules and reality as he sees fit

The US could have been the world leader in renewable energy instead of China. But Donald Trump has squandered that opportunity by siding with the biggest fossil fuel polluters.

A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

If you are thinking about not voting because you are a blue dot in a red state, think again! Brazil's voters did what nobody had done since 1989: sent a first-round loser on to win the runoff. People wrote Lula off, but voters showed up anyway. Help be the reason we win. Vote! #BlueWaveIn7Days

Trump is so desperate to look like the guy who ended the Ukraine war that he'll settle for being the guy who announced the end of the Ukraine war, while the war continued. But the war can only end when Putin leaves Ukraine. Trump doesn't want a ceasefire. He wants a ceasefire-shaped headline.

If we start having the hard conversations, knocking doors... If we step outside our party lines. That's how they did it. That's how we do it too. I know so many of you are tired. I am too... Students in Belgrade are dancing in the streets because they didn't give up on each other. Thread 5/5🧡

Linden NJ just banned AI data centers. Linden. Linden, home of the "Linden Co-gen Plant" and all the other smokestacks that people associate with stereotypical New Jersey. If they don't want data centers in Linden, it's hard to think of anybody who is going to want them! www.nj.com/business/202...

nj.comThis industrial N.J. city has refineries and warehouses β€” but it won’t take an AI data centerThe mayor said the potential benefits of AI data centers "simply do not outweigh the concerns" for the community.

I think the lesson from Lula is not never talk about the opposition; it's articulate a positive vision that's basically, We Can Just Do Things. That's why Mamdani-ism is so popular - voters have an intrinsic sense that their electeds have agency they're not using

Early voting is underway in nearly every state (more details below). Have you voted yet? I urge you to do whatever you can to get out the vote in your communities and vote as soon as you can.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...
