Excited to join @ezraklein to talk through what happened in 2024.
There's a turnout story this cycle, but not the one we're used to talking about. With less-engaged and less-likely voters becoming more Republican, a larger turnout meant a more GOP electorate.

Today, President Donald Trump ambushed Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky in an attack that seemed designed to give the White House an excuse for siding with Russia in its war on Ukraine.

At 4 a.m. our Republican colleagues voted against Warren/Kelly/King amendments that would have stopped further tax cuts for people making over $10 million; then $100 million; and then $500 million.
No it isn’t a dream. 😴

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

This at an essential point. If Republicans want to abolish USAID they're as free to do that as with any other part of the government - through Congress. (i.e., follow the constitution) There's a budget process starting right now. Go for it. Doing it this way is illegal.

I'm going to go ahead even upgrade this to things that *should* happen today. Not confident, though...
Just spitballing, but things that could happen today:
*Court injunction protecting USAID
*Dems demand hearings on Musk's role
*Someone introduce articles of impeachment
*Dem officeholders go to USAID offices with USAID workers
*Refuse to conduct any more Senate confirmations until this is resolved

Here is truly the least we can all do: commit to reposting all news of protest and struggle you see. There's a lot going on--LA, San Diego, St. Louis, *Grand Rapids,* Michigan. But the press has been broken. It's not ideal. But we must be the news.
