Meanwhile, here's an example of the horrendous things found in Hillary Clinton's emails—the only story worth covering for any serious news outlet in 2016, apparently.

This email is also regarding a child who suffered abuse from a grown man.

Not the main point, but can we just say that this is a very odd email exchange for a reporter (Michael Wolff) to conduct with a source (Jeffrey Epstein)?
Esp a source who, 7 years pvs, had pled guilty to solicitation of prostitution w/ a minor, and who'd been sued by a victim just 3 months earlier.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Weird how at some point the ACA subsidies went from meaningless technocrat babble that it was obviously incredibly stupid for Democrats to try protecting to being incredibly important for helping people avoid suffering.

And Democrats managed to get it wrong both times!! What were the odds?

Yeah that would make Democrats seem pretty bad I guess! Oh wait, I'm hearing you actually handed the keys to your house to this killer personally, even after he told you what he planned to do, over the strenuous objections of your friend who you ignored? Huh.

I’m so proud of my daughter in Seattle.

She doesn’t have much money (she’s a preschool teacher with a preschooler of her own) but she has a big bag of Costco flour — so she’s baking sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls every week for people in her neighborhood who are furloughed or lost SNAP…

Its a certain demographic who needed to be "motivated off their couches" to vote. Who "need fighters." Or need "excitement"/ someone they can "share a beer with." Politics is not your personal soap opera or wrestling match. And your lack of political enthusiasm without a side show causes real harm!

Heads up, there are a lot of accounts, jumping on this moment, telling people to leave the Democratic Party not to protest to just let fascism take over. Don’t engage just press not interested and block them if it’s really bad.

Why does the thing Americans voted for keep happening? Why won’t somebody just stop the thing that the majority of the people who participated in a representational democracy voted for? How could we possibly have stopped this thing in a country where an absurd number of people just aren’t voting?

Y'all, Xavier Bacerra is in the Governor's race and he's a really good candidate. No, he's not flashy or sexy, but he's also not Katie Porter or Antonio Villaraigosa, so he's got that going for him.
“It is with a full heart and even more commitment than ever that I am choosing to not run for governor next year,” Padilla says.

Ellis rules that the Trump administration impermissibly prevented the free exercise of religion, in violation of the First Amendment.

I much prefer bubble maps for election results instead of county-shaded maps. This one from PBS on California’s Prop 50 is a great example. Land doesn’t vote. People do.

Federal agents tried to claim a flash-bang grenade they fired in Little Village was fireworks thrown by protestors, Ellis says.

Agents also lied about what happened in Albany Park on Oct. 12, Ellis says.
