Nebraska, this has been the honor of my life. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for knocking doors, making calls, assembling yard signs and everything else in between. Thank you for sharing your stories with me. Thank you for welcoming me into your homes, your churches, your farms.

We didn’t get the result we wanted last night, but I hope our campaign made people realize (especially young people) that we DON’T have to accept the broken status quo of leadership in Nebraska. We can and SHOULD challenge the robber barons stripping this country for parts while we can’t afford healthcare or groceries.

Thank you to all of you. I will take your stories with me forever. Keep pushing. Don’t stop.

Happy Election Day!

Be on the lookout today for old voter suppression tricks… now with a few new digital twists!

Let’s face it: this campaign in Michigan is turning into a moral disaster. Too much anti-Muslim hate from the GOP. Too much anti-Jewish hate on the progressive side. Too little leadership trying to bring everyone together. After this election, I pray for healing in that state. And America: we gotta do better.

This effort to ~get out the vote~ isn't like the others.

It'll reach millions over the next few days -- because it's on one of America's most popular websites: Pornhub.

A banner running on Pornhub through Tuesday will redirect users to a page helping them find their nearest polling place, early voting site or drop box.

When we started responding to Russia’s operation against our data centers, and when our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations.

Because there were fewer bots. And it’s pretty clear where those bots were coming from – if they disappeared when Yandex went offline. This proves, again and again, that Europe is not the source of the problems. Europe is not the one making everything more difficult.

Most importantly, we need people in America, every morning, when the day in Europe is already moving toward evening, to really see what is happening. To see the truth.

I discuss the concept of micro-viral misinformation: content that doesn’t need to go viral because it reaches exactly the voters it was designed to influence. Read more @USATODAY #disinfo #election #misinformation

@JoelMartinRubin @RoKhanna Bernie has a long history of ignoring Jewish holidays and traditions, and of not standing up to or denouncing, in any way, the antisemitic elements of the left.

I'm more than mad at @BernieSanders
- I'm disappointed.

Hi @RoKhanna! Bummer that you don't remember me. We actually have met in green rooms at MSNBC/NOW. And I've known/worked with your staff throughout the years. We also both were Deputy Assistant Secretaries in the Obama Administration, but didn't cross paths then.

I doubt you knew every staffer on the Bernie 2020 campaign, and as far as I recall, you never made an effort to engage the Jewish component of the campaign back then, for what it's worth. I wish you would have.

On the substance, I also didn't say that Sanders is an antisemite. What I did say in my @TheFP OpEd is that he is "... pushing the party to absorb the most radical fringe voices in its midst, who will actively fuel antisemitism in the halls of Congress and in society as a whole."

I also made my role on the campaign clear, saying: "I spent three and a half months on the Sanders campaign back in 2020, attempting to chart a path that would make American Jewish supporters of Israel feel welcome in the Sanders coalition—and in the Democratic Party as a whole. I won many small battles back then, but it’s clear I lost the war. Today, the noxious shoots I saw emerging have become deeply rooted. Now, the movement is fully grown, and it threatens to smother the Democratic Party."

Do you have views on the substance of this point?
