Tim Walz shows American men, especially white men, that a better vision of manhood and masculinity exists which is far more loving, successful, decent and appealing than the toxic bravado and cruelty of Trump and MAGA.

This is simply brilliant. It can't be faked. It shows who they are. I cannot even imagine the other side.... no I just can't. https://t.co/PdNgft4ZXf via @YouTube

NEW AD: On the border, the choice is simple.

Kamala Harris is fighting to fix our broken immigration system. Donald Trump is trying to stop her.

From David Sedaris on Trump vs Biden:
"I think​ of being​ on an airplane.​ The flight attendant comes​ down the aisle​ with her food cart and, eventually,​ parks​ it beside my seat.​ “Can I inter​est you in the chick​en?​” she asks.​ “Or would​ you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broke​n glass​ in it?"
To be undecided in this elect​ion is to pause​ for a moment and then ask how the chick​en is cooked.”

"Vaccines alone, the researchers find, accounted for 40 percent of the decline in infant mortality. The paper... estimates that in the 50 years since 1974, vaccines prevented 154 million deaths."

@JessicaTarlov Congrats!

Trump facing a criminal trial on March 25 is significant. To understand, review the bidding.

First, before Trump was President, he hid his payments (the hush money) to avoid a criminal indictment then.

Second, he then became President, and said he couldn’t be indicted for his past crimes like the hush money while in office.

Third, he then committed more serious crimes in office (the Mueller report lists 10), and he said he couldn’t be prosecuted for his crimes as a sitting President while in office.

Fourth, he then got voted out of office, and so committed even more crimes to try to stay in office (the Jan. 6 charges, some of the most significant charges in the book), and said he couldn’t be prosecuted for them while he was still President.

Fifth, b/c he couldn't be prosecuted, Congress impeached him and he said he couldn’t be impeached because the only remedy was to prosecute him after he leaves office, not to impeach him.

Sixth, he then leaves office and he’s prosecuted (as per exactly what his lawyers said could happen to him), and he now says he can’t be prosecuted because he is absolutely immune from prosecution for acts while he was President.

Seventh, for crimes he committed when he was NOT President (like the New York ones), he is now saying he can’t be prosecuted for those either, b/c he’s he’s a candidate for President again (as his lawyer argued in court today).

And oh, eighth, he filed a brief in the US Supreme Court today saying because he was not impeached, he can't be convicted.

What is this? What Constitution on earth would permit this?

People will die, today, because of the cynical game played by the American Republican party. Their irresponsibility is breathtaking

Attempts by some colleagues to dehumanize civilians caught in this conflict are unacceptable. Palestinian and Israeli kids were killed. Children massacred or kidnapped by Hamas. Many children killed in bombardments in Gaza where nearly half of pop is under age of 18. THREAD

Over my years in the public and private sectors, I've had people tell me: If only the government could work like business.

Well, the team at @USEdgov and @USDS built a Student Loan Forgiveness portal that processed 8 MILLION applications in the first 30 hours without a crash.

I think many people don't realize how big the US economy is.

Ukraine’s GDP is almost exactly equal to the combined GDP of Connecticut’s Hartford & Fairfield counties. Russia's is equal to the sum of LA county, San Diego county, Orange county, & Santa Clara county in California.

@AReynoldsCPUC Congrats, Alice!!

@rklau Thanks for taking the (literal) call to serve in January 2021. It was a privilege to work in the trenches together on vaccine rolled out, and watch you build an incredible team to deliver critical services for the people of California. Excited to see what’s next!

@rglenner @UNDP Herbert was a world class public servant with twinkling eyes and a love for Sierra Leone. I can’t believe he’s gone. He taught me about service and doing the work at the very beginning of my career. He will be missed.
