Ben Meiselas on COP31: "The State Department is boycotting this. We are funding Witkoff and Kushner going to Moscow to party with Putin. But the State Department won't put money to allow the US to have any representatives at a climate conference. This isn't controversial. We live on Earth."
Senator-elect @jamestalarico: On election night, as I was delivering my victory speech, I noticed a woman up front. I bent down to shake her hand and I realized who she was. She took my hand, looked me in the eyes, and said, I am so glad you have my father’s job.
Lucy Baines Johnson was there to see another public school teacher take her dad’s Senate seat. LBJ married two things that are at odds in the modern Democratic Party, a practical politics of coalition building and a bold moral imagination.
"Trump has a long history of demeaning and disrespecting our nation's heroes, from his public attacks on the late John McCain to his private remarks calling war dead 'suckers and losers'.

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise for Americans across the country. I expect the president to reheat debunked conspiracy theories about the repeatedly litigated and audited and confirmed 2020 presidential election in Georgia, an election that Donald Trump lost. And let me be very clear about this: if the President declares Georgia's election illegitimate, or if the President declares Georgia's sitting United States Senators illegitimate, he is declaring Georgia voters illegitimate. It's Donald Trump who tried to defraud Georgia voters in that election, Donald Trump who tried to commit election fraud when he called Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger -- and it was caught on tape, and you should play the tape to your viewers today -- and badgered and bullied Georgia's top election official to 'find him' the votes that he needed to win in a state where he had lost."
Senator Elect James Talarico lays out the “musts” for a Democratic majority (eventual supermajority).
He ends by arguing that we should “make the final two years of Trump’s presidency the most productive of any presidency in American history.”
Chip Franklin: “While Trump and his friends are making billions and in some cases trillions, the one area that Trump fears the most is this: the Democrats who hold a commanding lead in the House are planning on congressional hearings into Epstein and Trump’s dark friendship. Trump is dead and every day Stephen Miller and his Nazi puppets attack Americans, the harder it’ll be for this rotund cockwaffle”
Warren: Accountability is coming.
If you’re a Wall Street executive, Big Tech CEOs, giant corporations that have been cheating people, you should be worried.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) responded to President Trump’s proposal to replace Jensen Huang as Nvidia CEO with former Apple CEO Tim Cook after Huang’s resignation Thursday, saying, “It’s interesting because this administration has repeatedly undermined the free market economy.”
“This is just another example of Donald Trump weighing in on behalf of his views connected to corporate America as opposed to focusing on working-class America,” he told reporters Thursday.
