Kudos to Nancy and Sarah for twisting my arm and moving so fast to get me on the pod to talk about #LosAngelesFire. There's so much we don't yet know. Let's please not pretend otherwise.

The #NYSAssemblyMajority is taking bold action to combat climate change and save you money. The Climate Change Superfund Act makes major fossil fuel companies pay for climate adaptation and mitigation projects across New York State so taxpayers don’t have to foot the bill.

Gee, it sure would have been politically useful if this cap on Medicare out-of-pocket drug costs — passed in 2022 with every Republican in opposition — went into effect in 2024 instead of 2025.

Happy gym cancellation day -- set your calendars for Tuesday the 14th.

Great news for Minnesota.

This same type of relief will be coming to all 50 states in the spring.

Thanks to @FTC’s rule banning junk fees, all Americans will be protected from surprise fees when buying tickets for live events or booking a hotel.

6/ We don't listen enough; we tell people what's good for them.

And when progressives like Bernie aggressively go after the elites that hold people down, they are shunned as dangerous populists. Why? Maybe because true economic populism is bad for our high-income base. 😬

[Brian Goldstone @brian_goldstone]

It's only people's "perception" that they can no longer afford a place to live.

I hate to put a lot of highly paid pundits out of business, but look at this f**king graph

[Jeet Heer @HeerJeet]

Dem elites refuse to give up this fantasy -- it's why Harris elevated Liz Cheney so much -- which is a major reason they keep losing.

Warren wants no sleep til Jan. 3: "Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer must use every minute of the end-of-year legislative session to confirm federal judges and key regulators—none of whom can be removed by the next President" https://t.co/rCunJuO1PF

[Pete Sikora @PeteSikora1]

Here I am in a deep blue state run entirely by democrats. And it’s incredibly hard to get basics like raising the minimum wage enacted. Incredibly hard. They need to start to walk their big talk about helping people and offer/enact a real alternative, not republicans-lite.

[Susan Glasser @sbg1]

Reminder that Trump would just be an angry retiree shouting at the TV right now had Mitch McConnell decided to do the right thing after 1/6.

Amazing.

BREAKING: New York has passed #Prop1!

New Yorkers used their vote to permanently protect abortion statewide, and showed up for LGBTQ, immigrant, and disabled New Yorkers by approving the most progressive and comprehensive state Equal Rights Amendment in the country.
