Absolutely false.

These bills don't target Russian oligarchs, who aren't using (& can't use) crypto to evade sanctions. They target upstanding US crypto companies for no apparent reason except @SenWarren's crusade against a technology she doesn't understand.

Do better, @cnbc.

1/ On How Short Life Is

A few years ago, I was walking around in a blizzard in SoHo (New York). It was late, midnight, and it was beautiful.

Some friends, about 15 blocks away, called: "come over?"

It was late, it was cold, was tired, thought "maybe not worth it" but then...

@ravmike hey man, been a while! I sent you a DM on linkedin, since couldn't do here. Wanted to flag in case you mostly ignore them, like me :)

Honestly, it is sort of annoying that NY subsidizes a bunch of states, and rather than thanking us, they try to cause us harm & celebrate when bad things happen to us.

@davekarpf Oh my. That is really something. And they probably think they're helping? Which is sad.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

My kids don’t understand why I work on anything other than climate change.

Why does anything else matter if you don’t fix this, they wonder.

When 4 US military died in botched operation under Trump in Niger: he mocked one their pregnant widows to her face, blamed his generals, and mainstream media/policians just moved on after a few minutes. Just Trump being Trump: incompetent and cruel, nothing to see here!

GOP: stealing next election
Dems: no don't
GOP: if you win we're ignoring it
Dems: join a bipartisan law to stop it?
GOP: uh no
Dems: dang, we can't just pass legislation ourselves
GOP: nope, that would be partisan
Dems: aw nuts—but we'll beat you in the elections!
GOP: lol ok

@3vanSutton Also not named Jonah? Wtf?

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

I know they each have their own inflexible rationales, but the combination of Breyer not retiring, the filibuster prevailing over democracy reform, and 'bipartisan' negotiations stripping out core Democratic priorities all point to a failure to see clearly the danger to democracy

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

I think the path followed by electric cars over the past decade are a good way of thinking about this stupid debate about meat, and about the policy that will get us to a good outcome here.

@jbouie Yes! Check out some bundles of amazing conservas here from @Ben2Table: https://t.co/b69L7srPNc

Breaking character: the problem with establishment media is that upper middle class white people don’t understand how to deal with bad faith actors and are unwilling to admit that ppl with a certain level of attainment (educational, financial, political) can be bad faith actors
