One thing I can say about the last 10 days: It has 100% affirmed that the Run for Something mission to recruit, train, & support next generation leaders at every level - in part to end the gerontocracy - is urgent & important - & I’m really grateful to all who make it possible.

I feel like we don’t talk enough about how Steven Miller in 2015-6 would scour white nationalist websites for “good” stories and talking points and then feed them to Steve Bannon for him to run in slightly watered down form in Breitbart.

his emphasis is that biden’s presidency was itself the greatest hoax in US history and that its chief authors - obama, schumer, pelosi, jeffries, harris - are historic criminals. sounds like he knows which show trials he would recommend during a second trump presidency.

Stay focused on electing Democrats. Dem for President, Dems for Congress, Dems for Senate, Dems in every race in which they run, all the way down. The other side are doing everything they can to distract us, to discourage us, to sap our strength. It will get worse. Block it out. We can do this.

“Still, the sources add, they do generally feel more confident in their legal theories than in the past, ever since Trump stacked the judiciary with right-wing jurists.” Latest from @andrewperez.bsky.social and me: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

It’s quiet but it’s no accident- Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act has launched a clean electricity boom. We’re now going to have double the amount of clean power and emissions reductions we otherwise would have had by 2030. Let’s keep going & do more. Track the progress: invest.gov
