Governor Jim Blanchard has devoted his life to serving Michigan's working families, leading our state through one of the worst economic crises in our history. I am honored & thrilled to receive his endorsement for our campaign to flip MI07!

Exactly. Nazi tattoo was and should have been a disqualification and excommunication for our party. Violent anti-women & racist comments on Reddit were natural flow of a Nazi tattoo wearer. Relieved Sexual assault finally expels him. Big tents must have limits too

Graham Platner should have dropped out *months* ago - long before these brave women came forward.

[amos hochstein @amoshochstein]

So, guys with Nazi tattoos are also violent misogynists and racist…who could have predicted that

It may only last 60 days (I doubt it; likely would become permanent), but the US Treasury’s waiver is effectively rolling back 40-year plus of American oil sanctions against Iran.

Even US refiners are allowed to import Iranian oil and pay for it in greenback!!!

One of the reasons Trump cited for abandoning the JCPOA in 2018: The deal "fails to address the regime's development of ballistic missiles... we will be working with our allies... to eliminate the threat of Iran's ballistic missile program."

Trump, eight years later:

original iran nuclear deal:
“under no circumstances will iran ever seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapon.”

Well said Mr. President @LBpresidency #Lebanon gate should be decided by the Lebanese people not #Iran or anyone else. And only the #LAF should defend it. And no other armed force, foreign or domestic should be deployed anywhere in the country

So interesting, in 2022, Republican leaders and later the Trump administration itself criticized Biden SPR release as irresponsible and reckless. It was being done too fast…

“That was such an irresponsible action to drain that reserve so quickly for electoral reasons and, in fact, it was drained so fast, it did some damage to the facilities…” (DOE CNBC interview, April 28, 2025).

[Javier Blas @JavierBlas]

Another mammoth SPR release last week, with a flow equal to ~1.3m b/d (nearly 9.1 million barrels over the week).

The weekly release is the **second highest on record**, just a notch below the all-time high set the previous week of 9.9 million barrels.

I am voting for McDuffie because I think blue cities need to be governed well, JLG's policies will more likely than McDuffie's raise crime, and Trump would weaponize that against Dems everywhere. My fellow DCers, don't sleepwalk into this

[amos hochstein @amoshochstein]

This slow-moving energy crisis is not like 2022 — it’s worse.
⛽ Gasoline prices → rising
✈️ Jet fuel → record highs
📈 Inflation indicators → running hotter
🏦 30-yr Treasury yields → highest since the financial crisis!
Strait of Hormuz ➡️ closed.
This only accelerates — until a lasting end of #IranWar‌ deal is done.

Under Biden’s last year, the U.S. economy added an average of 122,000 jobs every month.

Under Trump, that average has collapsed to just 26,000 a month.

In Trump math, that’s a “500% decrease.” (Around 80% in real math.)

My @Morning_Joe Chart:

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

For three years, there were more job openings than unemployed workers — at peak, 2 jobs per job-seeker.

That has now flipped under Trump, and unemployed workers outnumber available jobs for the first time since the pandemic.

WATCH: In a jaw-dropping statement, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has declared that "supporting Ukraine is not only a moral duty but also a strategic necessity, because at stake is not only the dignity, freedom, and independence of Kyiv but also the security of Europe."

[Johnny Garcia For Congress @johnnygarciatx]

And a Dark Money Republican Super PAC is spending nearly a MILLION to boost her campaign while she pushes right-wing conspiracy theories.

Republicans need to be held accountable for playing political games and giving her a platform.
