I know he is just starting his role as North Carolina AG, but can someone please convince @jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social to run for US Senate against Thom Tillis? If you have seen him communicate with his congressional district you will know he's the right person for the job!

Republicans will glibly say that "elections have consequences". Unfortunately the consequences here are that many people will die. It is shameful and unnecessary!

All I see on Twitter are MAGA influencers stating that there are no complaints coming from USAID recipients around the world. We need some leaders from the left with clout to start posting the headlines from international papers on Twitter for these folks to see!!!!

The number of criminals Trump surrounds himself with is astonishing. Imagine what the reaction would have been if Obama had appointed Michael Milken to anything?!?!?!
Of course Trump picks someone like Jarad Kushner’s father as an ambassador. He’s a convicted felon.

Every post election analysis should be how does someone run against a guy who cheats and gets away with it as such a matter of course the press no longer views it as a factor in his victory.

Will be interesting to see if this is a trend. Twitter has been used as a key platform for public safety communications for years and years.

Several British police forces have largely withdrawn from Elon Musk's X social media platform as concerns over its role in promoting violence and extreme content persist, a Reuters survey of forces' social media output showed.

I really hope this article gets the exposure it deserves! It seems malpractice by the Harris campaign that they didn’t try to emphasize some of this during the campaign.
This is getting overlooked, but the whole premise of Trump's threat of tariffs is based on a lie. He's claiming Mexico must be bullied into stopping migrants. But Mexico is *already* doing this. That's a big reason crossings have dropped. 1/

The Harris Campaign leadership sitting down for a first interview with #podsaveamerica was a big step on our side’s engagement with alternative media. Just wish Dan Pfeiffer had pushed them a bit harder.

Not that this isn't important, but I sorta feel like he should be racing to protect the ACA, Medicare, and Medicaid. Those seem like bigger, more urgent priorities.

The DNC needs to look at how Josh Stein.(Gov) Jeff Jackson (AG), and Rachel Hunt (Lt. Gov) all won in NC when Trump won by 3+ pts. For the record, Jeff Jackson is a future star of the party!

RFK Jr selection is horrifying for many reasons. A science sceptic has no business anywhere near public health policy. But there are a few things he's suggested that have been popular democrat policy objectives. I say support those and aggressively call out the bad ones.
