I want to thank @Salon for letting me write this and for much else. Essay from 2015: “People not very different from us murdered other people not very different from us at close quarters” salon.com/2015/10/03/so_much…

🔥 @RepRaskin: “Accountability vs. Affordability is a false dichotomy— they’re the same thing.” Raskin points out Trump’s corruption and pointless war is why things are expensive, so Dems holding corruption accountable and addressing affordability is not an either/or, it’s BOTH.

The blue tsunami that swept across the US, with Democrats seizing control of both Congress and the Senate, sent shockwaves through Russia, where the 80-year-old president is affectionately called “our Trump” and “Trumpushka.” My latest for @thedailybeast: thedailybeast.com/putins-pal…

One crucial thing to watch is how many US and Ukrainian assets Trump tries to give to Russia in the next three months. Probably deserving of a real-time investigation of its own.
Here's the full 2 minute clip where Trump says he met today with a top Putin crony, adds that a Russia-Ukraine deal will involve "all of Europe," admits he didn't meet with the Ukrainian delegation, then downplays Russia's ongoing atrocities in Ukraine, claiming "Russia is losing civilians also"

Meanwhile Russia just murdered 53 people in a deliberate missile strike on a school.

Norm and your team: thank you.
This is so wrong The reason “Trump didn’t steal the elections” is because we & the pro-voter coalition stopped him EIGHT times over the past 21 months Here’s how: a thread (1/x)

You can’t get to affordability without defeating corruption and if you pretend otherwise you will fail at both.

MAGA lost the election and don't even have their girlfriends to comfort them because Zelensky took out those Russian bot farms.

NEW: Indivisible is calling for a contested Senate leadership election, not a coronation. It is time to take meaningful steps to demonstrate that Democrats are discarding the old, failed playbook. Any Leader for the new fighting Democratic party must commit to the following:

Extraordinary how Ds stepped up and ran such courageous races in the face of endless media naysaying, vicious GOP propaganda, and over $100 million in Musk derangement, thoughtfully creating a new politics that appealed to people's basic decency at such a trying time in US life.

I’ve never seen a better campaign team than the one that powered Amy Acton to a historic and decisive victory despite being outspent 4 to 1 in a state left for dead not long ago. A campaign for the ages. Thank you to each and very team member who made it happen.
