@Perez1oj Yep!

@CCryptoman98 Agreed. Markets emerge naturally. But they hit a ceiling fast without enforcement.

Kanesh ran on functioning courts. Without them, you get village fairs. With them, you get 1000-km caravans.

It is incredibly wrong for Jimmy Kimmel to joke about my husband dying. It’s not like he’s Paul Pelosi or Rob and Michele Reiner.

The Pennsylvania House has passed another bill to raise the state minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2029 with future hikes tied to inflation 104-95. It now heads to the Republican-controlled state Senate, which has expressed openness to a wage hike but has not yet acted.

Ordering flags be flown at half staff for Charlie Kirk but not for Jessie Jackson says it all.

[Wesley @WesleyLowery]

Here’s the close of Jesse’s 1988 DNC speech “keep hope alive.” The challenge for politicians on the left remains unsparing critique that doesn’t descend into cynicism. There’s a reason that churched, black political figures navigate this more seamlessly than others

[Ben Phillips @benphillips76]

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Jon Ossoff on 2020: “Trump didn’t just lose Georgia. He lost Arizona. He lost Michigan. He lost Nevada. He lost Pennsylvania. He lost Wisconsin. And then tried to cling to power. He sent them to Fulton County to seize your ballots on a pack of lies. Now why Fulton? For the same reason this President posts videos that depict the Obamas as apes. See that the power of black voters ejected him from office may outrage him as much as defeat itself. So he tries to delegitimize your exercise of power. The power of the presidency is nothing compared to the power of the people”

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Governor @GavinNewsom on Trump & Johnson claiming Dems are pushing for health coverage for undocumented immigrants.

While U.S. looks elsewhere, the #Nicaraguan dictatorship is disappearing political opponents. Forced disappearances are a favored tactic of authoritarian regimes. Also happening in #ElSalvador, home to ⁦⁦@POTUS⁩’s favorite dictator. https://t.co/02E5OKkeOF

FWIW, the map shown in the ad is in fact the map struck down as an unconstitutional gerrymander by the state Supreme Court that the ads claims gerrymandered the map. (On the right is the map the court drew.)

I’m all for increasing opportunities for better nutrition… but that’s not mutually exclusive with promoting vaccines. Beef tallow fries and dye-free Fruit Loops don’t prevent polio. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."
