@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This party needs to wake up. These guys aren't screwing around... They're assassins when it comes to the way they weaponize grievance and the way they play politics. Enough! What more goddamn evidence do we need? They have rolled back the last half century in real time!"

MAJOR Victory in Montana!

Bill that would criminalize parents with felony child endangerment DIES in Montana after 15 Republicans cross party lines.

The bill would have criminalized even parents of trans kids driving through the state.

It died after nonbinary rep Howell delivered a strong speech.

1. Happening now: Montana is hearing a bill that would charge parents of transgender kids with felony child endangerment.

It is one of the most extreme bills of the year, and the vote is TODAY.

It's already passed the MT Senate.

Watch live with me:

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

Every word of this is a lie.

As reported, the entire staff of 538 was laid off this morning. This is a severe blow to political data journalism, and I feel for my colleagues. Readers note: As we were instructed not to publish any new content, all planned updates to polls data and averages are canceled indefinitely. Huge loss :(

A mostly blank page with the words Strong and Free, from the English version of the Canadian national anthem ) Below the fold of this newspaper sheet , in smaller type, news and editorial references to the trade war

This is the first page of this morning’s edition of the Globe and Mail (arguably the English Canadian paper of record)
I don’t remember seeing anything like this before

LOL.

Special Vermont Resistance edition Lucy Welch, a hero for the moment.

Move over Ethan Allen, here comes Lucy Welch

All it would take to end this madness are a few Republicans to say, "No more." Their silence is deafening. They are all complicit. I keep wondering what was the price in exchange for their silence?

Trump and Vance wanted Zelensky to thank them for an aid package that Vance voted against and Trump opposed.

Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy.

Let that sink in.

Senate report outlines 'grave' Russian threat in 2016 election probe The Senate Intelligence Committee released its final report on Russian interference in the 2016 elections, detailing ties with the Trump campaign.

It would be interesting if some brave journalists would ask Marco Rubio weather he stands by his 2020 SSCI report co-authored with Mark Warner on Russia’s interference in the 2016 election rollcall.com/2020/08/18/s...

I would organize with all democrats to not go. He is destroying our country and is our enemy. But at the same time, rally with us, the Americans who need opposition leadership

Suggests Zelenskyy be replaced? By whom? Lindsay Graham is a traitor along with every other Russian asset in the Republican Party.

Yes.

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.

Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

Why are they doing this? Do they want to see how many people they can kill worldwide?

I just don’t understand why billionaires need even more money. Is there something they can’t afford with what they’ve already got? Thanks, Seth. I love you.

Noooo!

@msnbc.com, don’t mess this up. The Weekend trio is 🔥—they keep it real & that’s what folks are looking for right now, but so does Joy Reid. She brings facts, truth & a perspective we can count on. We need that now more than ever.

Real talk: replace Morning Joe instead. Viewers are over it.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

He’s unhinged. And we are unprotected.

Alternative to a day of boycotting is considering an ongoing resource shift.

Starving oligarchic business as much as you can. Supporting and empowering local and responsible companies as much as you can.

Don’t try to be perfect but live your economic power fully.

Not for a day. Every Day.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

We need to make #CourageIsContagious a trending hashtag and amplify these acts of integrity, bravery, and fidelity to the rule of law. Thank you, SDNY attorneys, for leading by example

It should be a source of profound embarrassment that a bunch of FedSoc lifers are taking a more vocal and principled stand against the corrupt Eric Adams deal than most elected Dems.

Meditate today, even for just 5 minutes.

Then contemplate the interdependence of your community, how we all rely on each other.

I keep hearing pundits say "Americans support reducing size of federal workforce." Well some might but I can 100% assure you they will care when their Social Security payment doesn't come and there's no one answering phone at SS admin, same for Medicare, veteran's benefits, disaster relief etc
