Dear Senator Cornyn:

John. We know each other. You were one of the only Republicans to reach out to me when I joined Congress.

You are causing long-term harm to American democracy by encouraging federal law enforcement to arrest lawmakers over political disagreements. (1/2)

Bone chilling.

A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.

1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

The Inflation Reduction Act's $7,500 EV tax credit is incentivizing U.S. EV supply chain investment, and that's by design. Killing it, as Trump is contemplating, would be a big gift for China.

A lot of people responsible for poor decisions are on a press tour right now because if they didn’t, people would rightfully be questioning THEIR leadership and they know it.

It’s weak even by normal left-punching standards. Zero evidence more Liz Cheney would have won this. The opposite, actually.
First quote in this new @politico.com story is from RI's Dem committeeman Joe Paolino: "The progressive wing of the party has to recognize — we all have to recognize — the country’s not progressive, and not to the far left or the far right. They’re in the middle” www.politico.com/news/2024/11...

This is definitely going to be petty. But as opposed to all the think pieces & direct of what we should do under a 2nd Trump admin. Where are the think pieces saying what we have have built. I want the 2011-2024 retrospect about what we have now what our strengths are...

Why did so many working class New Yorkers vote for Donald Trump last week — and even more not vote at all?

Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.

This is worth following— but take frequent breaks to walk in a park.
During the first Trump Administration I came up with a system for thinking about the evil things happening that often helped me figure out how to be most useful.

Now that he's back in power, I wanted to share it again in case it helped others make sense of everything.

The United States has oligarchs now.
Not merely rich people with more personal influence on politics than poorer people have, but a few extremely rich people closely connected to the national leader who act in government-like roles despite never being elected or nominated to any official position.
