1/20. Democracy is precious and exceptional.

[Dr. Amy Acton @amyactonoh]

Today, we honor the brave men and women who have served our country with courage, sacrifice, and an unwavering commitment to something greater than themselves.

To Ohio's veterans and their families: thank you for your service. Happy Veterans Day! 🇺🇸

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

Thank you.

wow -- CNN broadcast footage of an Arlington guard yelling at a group with Pete Hegseth to "MAINTAIN SILENCE ... PAY RESPECT!" after someone in his entourage started laughing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

Warren: "Democrats must deliver popular, meaningful legislation to Trump's desk, and then dare him to veto it. Dare him to veto an increase to the minimum wage for hard-working Americans. Dare him to veto a ban on price gouging. Dare him to veto a ban on AI surveillance pricing ... you can't win what you don't fight for"

Things we used to know about Jim Jordan: a good summary from three years ago.

DC would be a better city if it were a state.

Very strange. Rep. Jordan’s role in the coup attempt and in the sexual abuse scandal at Ohio State are the two things everyone knows about him. He has never been the main sponsor of a bill that became law, so that’s pretty much his whole cv.

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

None of the NYT, WaPo, or Politico mention Jim Jordan’s key role in trying to help Trump overturn 2020 in their stories today on Jordan becoming House GOP leader. NYT says the move “signaled a desire for fresh leadership.”

Congratulations, Illia! Good luck with the book.

[Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 @IAPonomarenko]

And one more lovely surprise: Kobo, the major Canadian ebook retailer, has picked The Land of Tears and Hope as one of its best new nonfiction books of the month.

Really happy to see the book getting such a warm welcome. Thank you! 😁

I'm doing a series of conversations with Dem federal electeds we're calling “Now We Act.” The central issue is how we get from change in the legislature to change in life. Here I talk with Sen. Chris Van Hollen about leadership & how to change the system.

I am now imagining a support group where a Chinese honey trap, a Martian, and the Antichrist meet in a bar to vent about how exhausting it is to be loved by oligarchs.

Things we used to know about Jim Jordan, 2: He was credibly accused of knowing complicity in the sexual abuse of male athletes at Ohio State.

Draw a line around the birthplaces of Trump, Jeffries, Schumer: 25 square miles. Our country is four million square miles. That tiny Brooklyn/Queens patch is 0.0006 percent of the size of the US. Representation?

Not sure that delaying lunch from noon to 1pm counts as a fast in any religion…

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others."

-- Matthew 6:5

[Sen. Maggie Hassan @SenatorHassan]

Big Oil companies have reported massive Q3 profits amid the Iran War and surging gas costs for Americans.

Our new Joint Economic Committee - Minority report found that Trump is also personally benefiting, with his oil and gas stock holdings now worth as much as $81.6 million. Trump is increasing his wealth at the expense of the American people.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

How about a broader investigation of how Trump made money on Nvidia stock after blowing up US national security on the advice of a guy who was having sex with a Chinese spy.

[Business Insider @BusinessInsider]

Nvidia says it is opening an investigation into whether CEO Jensen Huang was the target of a "foreign intelligence effort." https://t.co/YuacSzYzVI

Again, nothing our enemies can do to us hurts as much as what Hegseth has done. Everyone around the world who wants America weak and laughable will hope Hegseth is not impeached and convicted.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

This is all extremely well formulated, perhaps especially the defense of freedom of speech.
