As an immediate first step to Medicare for All, the new Democratic Congress must lower the Medicare eligibility age to 55, cover all kids & expand Medicare for dental, vision & hearing. All of this can be passed with 51 votes in the Senate through reconciliation. Let’s do it.

1/It’s clear that Russia has gained strategic control of the US. Trump and Vance are fully in their grasp, and Massie/MTG/Carlson are following along with Khanna, Luna, and others as backstops. Most worrisome, Jeffries and Schumer display alarmingly poor judgment as well…

I don’t know who needs to hear this but if the market is wildly selling off AI stocks because of the election results then it’s safe to assume the value wasn’t in the product but in the administrations willingness to let Silicon Valley fellate each other on your dime.

Big: Kris Kobach, the Kansas attorney general, one of the country’s most notorious far-right figures who charted the way for Trump’s election denialism well before Trump got to it, has lost his reelection bid. Democrat Chris Mann will be new Kansas attorney general, AP calls.

"I don’t want Jared Kushner to be investigated because he’s the president’s son-in-law. I want him investigated because he’s potentially laundered and embezzled $2 billion dollars in funds from the governments of Saudi Arabia and the UAE. I don’t want Stephen Miller investigated because he’s a racist ghoul who’s at the center of the Trump brain trust. I want him investigated because he’s a racist ghoul who has violated the due-process rights of millions of people and, potentially, directly violated court orders. I don’t want Pete Hegseth investigated because he’s a toxic psychopath who is unqualified to lead America’s military forces. I want him investigated because he’s a fucking murderer who needs to spend the rest of his life in jail, either in this country or The Hague." thenation.com/article/politi…

NEW: Indivisible is calling for a contested Senate leadership election, not a coronation. It is time to take meaningful steps to demonstrate that Democrats are discarding the old, failed playbook. Any Leader for the new fighting Democratic party must commit to the following:

Yeah…..it gets worse. Much worse
Well, that is interesting, but not surprising. Lantratova is the co-chair of a Russian intelligence-linked propaganda organization called the International Club of National Unity (MKNE). Aleksandr Dugin is on its presidium, and it counts alleged GRU officer of Unit 54777 Sergey Panteleev as a member. Unit 54777, according to the Washington Post, is the “nerve center of Russia’s psychological warfare capability.” Other individuals listed as members of MKNE included: - Tucker Carlson - Scott Ritter - Jeffrey Sachs - Larry Johnson - Viktor Bout and others. h/t @Nadja72638243

The Trump-Musk implosion is ultimately rooted in self-deception and miscalculation: they really came to believe that most people agreed with them, but were being suppressed by “hidden forces” that kept their “real beliefs” from asserting themselves. They were wrong.

This is bad. Sergio Gor (aka Sergei Gorokhovsky / Сергей Гороховский), who has been previously identified as a potential security risk, is now being considered for WH Chief of Staff or even Secretary of State!
NEW: With a Trump admin reshuffle expected, confidante Sergio Gor is expected to rise. 10 sources says he's laid the groundwork for months, with potential posts ranging from White House chief of staff to top roles at State - even Rubio's! w/ @EricM_Katz: washingtonsun.com/administra…

can't blame Sinema can't blame Manchin can't blame Lieberman can't blame Nelson The Democratic Majorities have to raise the minimum wage, pass the PRO Act, joint-employer liability, public financing of elections, stop the corporate practice of Medicine, prohibit health insurers from owning Medicare, separate CVS from pharmacies, ban surveillance pricing and wages, prohibit data centers from owning generative AI companies, ban tech giants from "self-preferencing", revive Glass Steagall, ban private equity asset stripping, get credit card rates DOWN, stop agribusiness from stripping value and then get to work.

In November 2020, Democrats won a major victory. Then they spent four years squandering it. I swear to God, if you do it again, there is no forgiveness. This time we play for keeps. Pass it on.

America is tired of disrespect, lies, insults, name-calling, broken promises, and people who use religion as a puppet or power to enrich themselves. America wants honesty, to be heard, respect, and honest leaders—even for those who you disagree with…A lesson for @GOP and @TheDemocrats: Let’s work for We the People! Longer tables, all welcome! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

As a Marxist materialist I’m supposed to think everything that happens is the product of deep economic forces. But if Trump has simply not done tariffs and not started a war with Iran, both of which he did because he’s a world-historical moron, he’d be taking a modest hit tonight

Wait a minute! The new Governor, Keisha Lance Bottoms, the new Secretary of State, Penny Brown Reynolds and the new Attorney General, Tanya Miller of Georgia are all Black women. The state of Georgia will be governed by Black women. Georgia, y’all really had something to say.

The idea that center-left Dems are communists is just stupid, and isn't going to hold up as a talking point for the hysterical right. I, for one, have no love for murderous communist ideology. I do think we could do a better job at healthcare.

This is among the most emphatic swings I've ever seen. Trump will doubtless throw lots of toys out of the pram as he heads over the cliff
