Today the people of Texas’s 18th Congressional District made clear: Enough is enough. Republican officials have targeted and attacked our communities nonstop. That ends now.

We will not allow Governor Abbott and President Trump steal our political power away.

Because of Greg Abbott, TX-18 will go nearly a year without a voice in Congress, during hurricane season, no less.

That means no one to fight for FEMA aid or basic services.

And now the GOP wants to redraw maps? We see the play and we will fight back.

True: @zohranmamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing.

Also true: Andrew Cuomo oversaw the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stabilized housing. And killed NYC’s program helping people move out of shelter.

Leaders must show moral clarity. Andrew, time to move out. 🧵

People exploding this false messaging that I voted for a bill + funding that I quite literally voted NO on. The threat environment this morning is scary.

Doesn’t help anyone. Drag me for the position if you disagree but don’t lie. It’s out of control. Saying I voted for this funding is false.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

New @davidnir.com and Rupar is live: we go deep on why Republicans are trying to rig the midterms and how they’re trying to do it
Why Trump is trying to rig the midterms
Extreme new gerrymanders and a twisted new census both point in the same direction.

Given that Trump got his ass handed to him by Putin, reminding that ALL THREE of his top spies have spent the past week lying about a Russian spy attempt to frame Hillary.
Trump claims “President Putin I believe wants to see peace” and acknowledges Ukraine will have to make territorial concessions (unclear what Russia’s concessions will be, if any)

New in PN: The sordid origin of 'America First,' explained by a historian

“Mainstream opinion in the '30s wasn't pro-Nazi but it wasn't anti-Nazi in any meaningful way either. People would say, ‘Germany for the Germans — what’s offensive about that?’ Nationalism has a certain accepted sensibility."

New in PN: Trump's Confederacy rises again

"The straightforward explanation for Trump’s Confederacy fetish is that he’s a virulent racist who would’ve enslaved people himself. If you think that’s hyperbolic, just listen to the man."

The craziest Yacht Rock moment ever and it’s not close — the ‘Into the Night’ video by Benny Mardones. The sequel to our Yacht Rock doc might be just trying to figure out what the F is happening in this, and also, should Benny be in jail?

Quick thread off our Yacht Rock doc (on Max and HBO!)…

My Spotify Yacht Rock playlist has just about all the songs in the doc plus a bunch more. I had to throw a couple Eagles and Hall and Oates songs in even though they don’t count as Yacht Rock bands. Sorry.
