If you're a member of the Democratic gerontocracy, the chances of you catching a primary challenger just went up 1000%.

Christiane Amanpour - #cdnpoli Just sat down with Canada’s PM Mark Carney at the NATO summit. He tells me Iran’s missile launch at US bases last night “was proportionate, it was de-escalatory… [and] it gives an opening for diplomacy.” Our full interview airs 7pCET @cnni and tonight on @PBS

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's happened since? A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

"Hortman was relentless on multiple priority issues, not just guns, but guns in particular because she was convinced government could — and must — do better."

Great idea….

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

I want to thank @eringloriaryan.bsky.social for giving me a chance to talk about my friend Melissa Hortman on Hysteria Pod. After everything that's happened, we need good people to step up for our neighbors, our community, for justice. That’s Melissa’s legacy. open.spotify.com/episode/5gkj...

Start preparing for a possible general strike. Save money if you can for when you might not be working. Start to get your business and management used to the idea that this is possibly comimg. Make people understand this may be necessary to hold on to our democracy. generalstrikeus.com

AOC nails it: " We'll rally every corner of the United States of America until we save Medicaid and Medicare for every American until we defend social security. And we tell them who's really in charge in this country." #DontKillOurMedicaid

“What we’re seeing right now around the country is a deep sense that this system isn’t working for us and that it is working for billionaires and rich people. The polluters pay frame speaks to that idea that some of the richest companies should help clean up the mess they made.”

Beautiful tribute to Mark Hortman: "Even now, when the pain of his loss is almost too much to bear, the ones who loved him best laugh when they swap stories of his adventures, his dad jokes and all the hobbies he threw himself into with his entire heart.” www.startribune.com/brooks-mark-...

2021 The investigation found that Cuomo sexually harassed 11 women, nine of whom are current and former state employees — and one of whom is a New York State trooper. "None of them welcomed it and all of them found it uncomfortable," New York Attorney General Letitia James told reporters Tuesday.

The other day, The Washington Post condescendingly mocked me for stating that President Obama should speak out about what Trump is up to. Apparently, Barack Obama's thinking aligned more with mine than The Washington Post's.

Rest in peace, Gilbert. 💔

U.S. bankruptcy Trustee Christopher Murray has filed three suits accusing Infowars host Alex Jones of hiding millions of dollars in cash and property. https://n.pr/3STi0x3

Karen Bass: "It's felt in LA like we're part of a grand experiment. How far will the public tolerate the federal government intervening and seizing power from a governor? I think it's being tried out here."

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing. Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle. Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop. (1 of 2)

The editorial board of a publication in Sen. Mike Lee's home state of Utah called on him to apologize for his posts about the Minnesota shootings, writing that they “were unacceptable for anyone, let alone from a member of the Senate.”

“The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." Beautiful statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman.
