It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.

I don’t know who needs this info ( #Pittsburgh ): if you have a power outage for an extended period of time and lose a ton of food in your fridge/freezer, and you rely on EBT for your food, they can help you on the phone or send you a form for reimbursement of lost food items due to that outage.

Can't wait to hear how the "you don't NEED a new iPhone" conservative pundits spin this
Breaking news: The Trump administration announced that smartphones, computers and other electronic components are exempt from reciprocal tariffs, days after the United States imposed the highest levies on foreign goods in a century.
Phones, other electronics exempt from new tariffs, Trump administration says
The announcement comes after Beijing responded to President Trump’s escalating trade war with a 125 percent tariff on all U.S. goods early Friday.

I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify.
The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips.
Good job, friends.

It is *very* important to understand that Jews were never the only target of the 1930s Nazis and they are not the only targets of today’s Nazis. A Nazi salute is not only antisemitic. It is also racist, ableist, and queerphobic.
