What an amazing day for Arsenal and for Eberechi Eze. Incredible for him in any context, but with his history, his journey, it's just really, really special.
Also a massive win, and a statement/fuck off win in this title race after the results yesterday
Huge day, lots of fun to be had after this!

I keep thinking about this. Marjorie Taylor Greene started her rebrand like 20 days ago and ranking Dem leaders are already normalizing it. She is still, to this day, actively engaging in antisemitism and talking about how she won't take "shekels" from AIPAC.
Raskin: We are a big tent. We must be a huge, vast tent. I say this is a party that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene if she wants to come over.

There’s a certain amount of WP who are falling for the okie dokie, thinking that Marjorie Taylor Greene has turned over a new leaf. Go back and read some history. Reconciliation with confederates laid the foundation for why we’re here today. Don’t do it!
That's how Reconstruction ended, and Jim Crow began. Nope, we're not falling for it.

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.
For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.
The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

None are in serious danger of losing a primary. That could change, but it's unlikely, and none have viable challengers making serious moves (Moulton doesn't count).

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.
