Our democracy is under threat.
Unless we ditch our outdated voting system, the next election risks allowing Nigel Farage into Number 10 on the “pull of a one-armed bandit” gambling machine. I asked the Leader of the House to back the Lib Dem elections bill when it returns to Parliament in January.

Not enough people are talking about this:
Today, the Senate has one last chance to extend the ACA tax credits before they expire.
I’ll be voting to prevent health insurance premiums from more than doubling for millions of Americans. Every Republican senator should do the same.

The end of coal in California ⬇️
Something to be thankful for!

Polska też kiedyś miała mieć inny podział granic po wojnie, w tym miała mieć Królewiec i większą część wschodnich terenów.
Ale zdecydowały wtedy inne kraje o podziale terytorium i jest tak, że mamy teraz granicę z 🇷🇺.

The Trump-Putin plan to end the Ukraine war would reward Russia’s aggression.
But even if Ukraine rejects it, the talks excluded Ukraine and Europe, adopting Russia’s frame of the US and Russia settling imperial spheres of influence.
For Putin, it’s win-win.

Trump’s plan for peace in Ukraine is a win-win for Russia
Opinion | Given the U.S. president's behavior toward Putin, it was unlikely the Trump administration would seriously pressure Moscow

Why would a president issuing legal orders have a big objection to Members of Congress saying that US military personnel must honor their oath to the Constitution, and should consult a lawyer if they think they've been given an illegal order?
Why indeed.

Trump ranting about sedition, hangings, and death because some members of Congress said that US military personnel have to follow US law is quite bad, yes.
But it's frustrated impotence more than actionable threat.
He can't get James Comey in jail, he's far from able to murder members of Congress.

I'd like a president who thinks the bar for state forces killing someone is higher than "a lot of people didn't like him," and is generally negative rather than positive about governments killing journalists for criticizing them.
Sorry to get so partisan, but that's how I feel.

This is how the depraved, unprincipled Trump excuses the murder of Jamal Khashoggi : blame the victim.
“A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman that you’re talking about, whether you like him or didn’t like him, things happen,” he says sitting with the culpable MBS.
Sickening and infuriating.
