🔵 Alex Vindman, the retired lieutenant colonel who rose to fame testifying in Trump’s first impeachment, is running for US Senate in Florida as a Democrat while refusing to call Israel’s slaughter in Gaza a genocide.

Confronted at a recent event over his support for Israel, Vindman declined to explain his support.

He faces progressive state Rep. Angie Nixon of Jacksonville in the August 18 primary. Nixon has centered the plight of Palestinians since the genocide’s early weeks, most memorably when her question on the Florida House floor, ‘How many dead Palestinians will be enough?’, drew a Republican colleague’s shout of ‘All of them,’ in a moment that went viral. She was arrested in May protesting DeSantis’s mid-decade gerrymander and accuses the party establishment of rigging the race for Vindman, who holds $6.5 million to her $178,000 and has so far declined the debates she has accepted.

The winner faces Republican Sen. Ashley Moody, appointed by DeSantis to Marco Rubio’s seat when Rubio became secretary of state. Recent general election polling shows Moody leading Vindman 47-40 per an Associated Industries of Florida survey, while Vindman’s campaign touts a Change Research poll showing him within three and tied among likely voters.

It's so scary to think we have to find somewhere to store the dangerous waste like a desert or underground or something, which is a major problem unlike with fossil fuels where we safely store the waste in the atmosphere and our lungs

Jeff Bezos's newspaper accused @ewarren and other populist Democrats of spreading a false conspiracy theory about greedflation.

In reality, the Dems were correct: it is an actual conspiracy.

Criticism like this is why it is so important to pair a wealth tax with a simultaneous huge tax cut for everybody making less than $100k.

Otherwise the super rich will trick everyone into thinking it's gonna hit them too.

Also: life is hard out there, cutting taxes for everyone under $100k is the right thing to do.

A good tell that the NatCon project is bullshit is the way that the people going on about National Purpose also become toddlers at literally even incredibly basic notions civic duty or obligation such as ‘turn down the AC if you can so hospitals have power’

Mike Davis almost single handedly got LiveNation/Ticketmaster off the hook in their federal trial.

Taking millions of dollars to fk all of us, to make Ticketmaster richer, is the least patriotic thing ever.

You leave — and take Ticketmaster with you.

1000s of people who engaged in civil disobedience and protests to end the Gaza genocide have been imprisoned, expelled, fired, deported, had their lives ruined meanwhile all the backers of genocide under Biden have cushy jobs at CAP, Harvard, CNN, Vox, etc https://t.co/rczmVcrtjj

You were literally an architect of NAFTA, Wall Street dereg & bank bailouts, you berated proponents of a public option, and you enriched yourself as an investment banker.

Not figuratively, literally. You literally played a hands-on, direct role in creating everything you are now pretending to lament.

And now you’re relying on nobody remembering, and none of your national media friends ever even asking you about it.

The level of shamelessness here — Rahm’s ability to keep a straight face while saying this — is beyond normal politician dissembling or dishonesty. It is sociopathic.

Peculiar reporter’s notebook detail: I reached out to a LOT of evangelical professors/scholars for this piece. Southern Baptist seminaries, evangelical schools, etc.

Few responded. Almost none wanted to talk about interpretations of Matt 25 — which wasn’t true of other scholars.

YESTERDAY: The Trump administration bragged that the PJM power grid was relying on fossil fuels instead of renewables. "Keeping our air conditioners blasting."

TODAY: The Trump administration alerts PJM to cut electricity use as outages, overloaded transmission lines, and extreme heat push the system toward blackouts. PJM escalates emergency actions as a result.
