love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

The Live Nation settlement thing is a total mess. Counsel for DOJ didn't know there was a settlement in court this morning!

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.

CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

It looks like the war on Iran is going about as poorly as the regime’s previous wars against Chicago, Minnesota and Los Angeles.

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

People call Crockett β€œprogressive,” but the reality is more nuanced:

β€’Support for pro-Israel resolutions + military aid
β€’Crypto industry $$ backing
β€’Little focus on economic populism (antitrust, taxing billionaires, monopoly power)

Most of her work has centered on oversight + partisan messaging.

He's not just vaguely talking about ~affordability~, he's saying here are the people and corporations jacking up prices and making it more and more difficult to live your life, let's take on corporate power to improve the lives of Americans

Lots of folks who are pointing out that Talarico "ran on affordability" are missing the point that he also names villains. He's a populist.

There's a big difference between:

1. "let's make things more affordable"
2. "let's take on the billionaires and corporations who are making life unaffordable"

In state leg, @jamestalarico.bsky.social fought to:

- Lower Rx drug costs
- Hold corporations accountable after TX grid collapse
- Stop private school voucher schemes
- Invest in public education

He is unafraid of taking on powerful interests on behalf of Texans. He will make a great senator.

a paxton v. talarico match with gas prices at a high and a new war feels like the best chance for a democratic senator texans have seen in a very long time

Crockett's entire brand is fighting Trump + Rs. That's important to have, but if Democrats are going to win big we've gotta actually have a vision of what we want.

Talarico put forward a clear vision of what's wrong, who's at fault + what we can do if we take on massive wealth & corporate power.

Crockett & Talarico Wage New Battle in Fight to Flip Texas Democrats see a Texas upset as the best way to take the U.S. Senate. But the two candidates have different theories on how to pull it off.

"No, James Talarico isn’t at all a throwback to the Blue Dogs of yore: moderate-to-conservative white Democrats who only represented non-white voters by being less objectionable than Republicans. He’s clearly as progressive as Crockett." nymag.com/intelligence...

Editorial: Our endorsement for North Carolina’s 4th Congressional District "We support Nida Allam in the District 4 primary because she bridges common-sense policies locally and an unyielding progressive vision."

"[R]ather than capitulating to corporate or party interests, @nidaallam.bsky.social stands for a sort of idealism and strength we sorely lack in government."

Just one in four Americans say they back US strikes on Iran, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds One in four Republicans say Trump is too willing to use military force.

Trump didn't have the patience or interest in engaging public opinion to make the case for his illegal, deadly war. Democrats across the board must ensure that this has major political consequences for him.

I know things are super terrible, but we do need a soccer reporter to get a quote from FIFA about the actions of their Peace Prize recipient.

The speed with which American voters are turning against data centers is breathtaking.

One comparison might be what happened to nuclear after the doublewhammy of "The China Syndrome" debuting days before Three Mile Island, except there's no equivalent in terms of Hollywood or industrial accidents.

Buffalo Police have opened a homicide investigation after Border Patrol agents abandoned a blind refugee miles from his home.

If confirmed, Border Patrol will have accounted for 33% of Buffalo's homicides this year.

I know everyone likes this line about "it's not right vs left it's top vs bottom" but let me just say: only one party even acts like they give a shit about poor people while the other is actively propping up the most evil billionaires

this is why i am laser-focused on paying rent for people right now.

the second a family is evicted, the costs of everything explode. lives are disrupted, new schools have to be found, people are in physical danger, and then they are so much harder to rehouse with an eviction on their record.

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.
