[Taco Bell Quarterly @TBQuarterly]

The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply. pass it along and live más comrade

Greg Casar taking a victory lap

“A majority of Democrats in this building refused to vote to send billions of dollars in weapons to the Israeli military.

That sends a strong message to Netanyahu that the days are over of an unaccountable blank check to his wars”

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Greg Casar urging colleagues to vote YES on Massie & Khanna's amendment cutting aid to Israel.

"The American people are crying out for an end to US tax dollars subsidizing Israel's military."

Comes as party leadership announces opposition.

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

.@JamesTalarico: There's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man.

Recently on the campaign trail I told the story of my adoptive dad, Mark Talarico. Every Saturday morning, he would mow our lawn, and then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because she was a widow. My dad never talked about it — he just did it, because that's what a man does.

A man takes responsibility, upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors, and does what's right, even when no one is watching.

Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life, sell their soul to the highest bidder, or steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man, and I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Well that’s one of the most compelling answers to that question I’ve ever heard.

@AaronMeyers Green Lantern #205 and #206 is my guess

[David Dayen @ddayen]

It's rare that you get to see both a vivid depiction of the revolving door in action and confirmation that it doesn't have to be an inevitable post-government career.

it’s hard to illustrate how it felt at the time if you were too young, but this happening right after the shock bernie primary win in michigan was a nuclear hopium bomb. it felt like the world was on the precipace of something better

Happy Opening Day.

Socrates in 460 BC: “The unexamined life is not worth living.”

Marcus Aurelius in 150 CE: “You have power over your mind—not outside events.”

Augustine of Hippo in 400 CE: “Do not go outside; return into yourself. In the inward man dwells the truth.”

[Morris Katz @katz_morris]

He’s with his newborn child.

And has spent his career fighting to give workers paid leave, childcare, and the dignity to not just struggle to get by, but be able to spend precious time with the people they love.

Something we occasionally ponder is how and why the petrochemical wasteland of Trinity Bay produces a seemingly endless pipeline of evil Republican twinks. -OS

we all knew they were dumb as rocks and out of touch but mamdani winning convincingly while not once conceding on trans rights is so fucking funny after how many establishment democrats thought that trans people were the reason they lost

[Emma Goldberg @emmabgo]

Zohran Mamdani built an anti-loneliness campaign. He met voters who were attached to screens, isolated from the pandemic, spiritually unmoored — and got them out of the house, because the political, to them, was personal. W/ the wonderful @boreskes https://t.co/OY4OggShp8

I think a lot about what Wellstone would’ve done if he hadn’t died in that plane crash.

[Congressman Greg Casar @RepCasar]

We must stop funding this genocide.

Hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians live in Gaza City. 

They will have to flee again or risk being killed.

This is what Defense Minister Yoav Gallant meant when he said “we will eliminate everything” in Gaza.
