Moderate Democrats with columns in newspapers are constantly saying the Democratic Party is way too liberal on "social" issues. Moderate Democratic voters in real life do not feel this way. With some polling data from @gelliottmorris.com and @dataforprogress.org. newrepublic.com/article/2074...

Investor-owned utilities are experts at saying the right things to the right people at the right time. It's what they *do*, not what they *say*, that people - policymakers, investors, and customers alike - must be paying attention to. They're also good at making that non-transparent.
Point/Counterpoint This War Will Shut Off 20% of the Global Petroleum Supply for A Month and Send the Economy into a Stagflationary Tailspin vs. No It Won’t Published: March 26, 2003
During Joe Biden’s four years in office, the Justice Department did not pursue releasing records related to Epstein and lawmakers did not pursue legislative action. Democrats in Congress told me that their party leadership sought to dissuade them from pursuing the effort in recent months, changing their stance only after feeling public pressure and seeing internal polling.
awesome. cool. fantastic.
James Talarico: No one's ever asked me about the cost of housing. The only thing the media wants to ask me about are trans athletes.
The only minority destroying this country is the billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. We are all focused on the wrong 1%.
Delegate Lesley Lopez
filed the @Employee Civic Activity & Lawful Expression Protection Act.” A bill championed by WDC, & sponsored by Senator Waldstreicher in the State Senate.
MD delegate Charkoudian: PJM has failed ratepayers, keeping older, more expensive power plants online & driving up prices as data centers increase demand. Adding low-cost solar generation, storage and energy efficiency programs - and getting an accurate demand count - are the best ways to respond.
Any chance Maryland/MARC will be studied?
Our politics are fundamentally corrupt.
It’s not over the top like one might expect, so it could be real in SF, but it feels *too* on the nose.
Satire, right?
Holy shit. So this just happened at Minneapolis's legendary First Avenue club. That's Tom Morello introducing Springsteen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jHe...
Over here in highlandtown it’s the same kind of bad. I’m new to the city but still kinda shocked by how bad the response is
I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.
Biden himself said they were fabricated!

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them:
1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens
2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar
3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia
Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
About once per decade, a big winter storm hits Texas, freezes natural gas supply infrastructure, causes blackouts, kills people, and makes $billions for the owners of power plants when electricity prices go through the roof. The last time was five years ago, but the next time might be tomorrow.
This is certainly the most Bluesky thing I’ve ever posted
This is because they are a regulated utility and forced to meet certain metrics of reliability by regulators. IMO don’t give Duke any credit, thank the Utilities Commission!
Brett Kavanaugh did this. It is completely bonkers to assume that the government has the right to arrest or detain you solely based on your accent, appearance or occupation. And yet that is what Kavanaugh said in Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo

rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks
It will never be enough for the unholy trinity: Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and Donald Trump. After murdering a woman in her car, their next move was to storm a public high school and terrorize kids and staff. These kids will never forget this for the rest of their lives.
The technical term, in international law for this is "a smash and grab"
if i was running a political party and every time my opponents held power they started illegal wars for oil and crashed the economy i would simply say that repeatedly
jeffries needs to be the fuck out of office
Cancer research costs too much but we have the money to run Venezuela
