Congratulations, Donald. Quite the accomplishment.
Every day from now until November, look up the headlines from exactly 4 years ago, to jog your memory about how bad it really was under the former guy…
In this clip, a former Israeli Ambassador claims he doesn’t know if Israel killed children. (At the same time, people are tearing down photos of hostages as “fake news.”) Denying basic facts increases dehumanization and makes ending violence less likely.

For moderate or “swing” voters, even if you’re not thrilled with either party, would the fact that Republican officials now regularly base their decisions on how many death threats they are getting from their OWN VOTERS… encourage you to not give them control of our government?
Gavin Newsom’s recent appearance on Hannity is a masterclass in communication and debate. A must-watch for all leaders — no matter what field you’re in or what party you belong to. How Newsom took on Hannity, a thread🧵
Why do poor black people disproportionately go to jail? GOP: “That’s law and order” Why do rich Republicans disproportionately get indicted? GOP: “That’s injustice!!”
Instead of making 18-25 year olds pass a civics test to exercise their constitutional rights, how about making all candidates for office pass one? How many current elected officials would pass?

It takes real reform to deliver progress for Texas. We can't solve our 21st century challenges with a 19th century political system. I’m a Millennial Democrat - a clean energy developer and teacher - running to represent Texas Senate District 15. Join us.
For anyone not paying attention this is not a fight between Republicans and Democrats. It’s a fight between the Republican Party and “democracy.” There is a reason they are doing everything they can to make it harder for you to vote, and there’s no being “in the middle” on this…
What makes this issue so “complex” is that really rich people know full well that manmade climate change is real, but they also know the externalized costs of it are mainly going to fall on the poor so if they can make more profit by NOT doing anything… [there, fixed it for you]

Almost every day, I hear someone say “both sides are too extreme.” it’s fashionable. Honest q for the “both sides” crowd: what would you say is the most extreme thing that Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem, Jeffries, or any major Democratic leader is trying to do or has done?
Here is the problem. To find examples to fit your narrative, you comb through 18 yr old tapes of random business owners or a some teacher in some classroom somewhere. To find examples of bigotry and hate speech we only have to go to…the highest leaders in the Republican Party

I used to think that they were just cynically trying to gain an an advantage by changing the rules. But older Texans break for Republicans, so they are literally hurting their own voters. Maybe they just really do hate democracy, regardless of who it is?
A friend just said to me, “Why would Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity & Fox News write messages to each other proving they were lying to the public?” This assumes: 1) grifters don’t make mistakes 2) they think they will face consequences for their actions (neither is true)
Hmm, so the cartoonist who said Trump was going to win in 2016 and kept defending him all throughout his presidency turned out to not like black people?? Did not see that one coming…
This is my US congressmans Valentine’s Day tweet. I’m not sure which is more demoralizing, that the GOP’s standard now we’re getting elected to office is having the maturity of a 12 year old boy or less… or that there’s an army of adults with the same maturity cheering them on…
I have to admit this is the most interactive #SOTU I’ve ever watched…
Amazing that Jordan promotes this clip himself. He is PROUD of muddying the waters (to confuse the public into thinking “both sides” commit the crimes that Republicans do). This is what fascists and propagandists have done throughout history. (Project their crimes onto others)

@DKThomp His repeated deflection from actually answering that question speaks volumes
Please don't miss this powerful story from @eklib and @shelbytauber: She was told her twin sons wouldn’t survive. Texas law made her give birth anyway. texastribune.org/2023/10/11/tex…
Idk I just kinda think maybe we shouldn’t be harassing Jewish or Palestinian people to give comment on what’s going on and maybe let them process this without forcing them to speak for their entire communities but maybe that’s just me…
10/ We need more of this in American politics. Well-researched long-form debates involving both sides. Every leftwing politician should be willing to go on a rightwing news show and speak, and vice versa.
9/ Those are just a few great moments. There are many more. Some takeaways: - It pays to know your sh*t - Don't blindly agree/disagree, listen - No notes > notes - Owning mistakes is rhetorically powerful - Be affable, it's disarming - Let your opponent finish their argument
8/ Guns come up, and Newsom shows he knows what he’s talking about — he’s shot a lot of guns. He doesn’t get too animated on this topic (as many do) and instead delivers a powerful assertion: “They are weapons of war.” Then repeats it despite Hannity’s retort.
7/ On homelessness: Intead of trying to fight Hannity (“not an issue,” “that’s not true”) he makes a bold and powerful statement: “It’s a disgrace.” He then outlines all the ways he’s trying to fix the problem while recognizing it hasn’t been solved. He repeats: “I own this.”
6/ Hannity brings up California emigration and comes prepared with notes and charts. Newsom makes a point of allowing Hannity to show ALL his data and deliver ALL his points. Doesn’t interrupt. When Hannity’s done, Newsom adds all omitted data, then turns it back on him.
5/ On DeSantis’s decision to send 50 Florida migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, Newsom focuses the discussion on the importance of basic human dignity. It’s a contranst to the more nuanced points he made earlier. “You don’t do this to human beings.” The simplicity adds emphasis.
4/ Hannity questions Democratic beliefs by framing them as hypocrisies. Border control + pro-immigration, energy independence + reduced oil production, etc. Newsom points out these are rhetorical binaries and the issues are more complex. Then illustrates this with data.
3/ Hannity states multiple reasonable Republican talking points on immigration. Most Dems would be baited into disagreement. Instead Newsom points out Dems are ALREADY addressing all issues raised, then nods to the faulty premise: “Let’s have this conversation in a rational way.”
2/ When Hannity tries to change topics, Newsom redirects him back to the premise Hannity himself had introduced. He then demonstrates the hypocrisy of highlighting Covid’s effect on Trump’s job record while refusing to acknowledge its relationship with Biden-era inflation.
1/ Hannity starts by attacking Biden with a laundry list of political issues as though it’s assumed they’ve failed. Newsom: “Let’s talk about all of them - IN ORDER.” Off the bat he demonstrates any rhetorical flourish will be met with an informed and data-driven response.
Tucker Carlson 14 years ago: "In the absence of any universally recognized standard or source of news, what happens?....All sorts of crazy conspiracy theories bloom and take the place of facts."
The Republican Party is in disarray. They can’t even get the story straight on their own policy plans, like sunsetting social security and medicare. While they fight, we'll get to work. @stuartpstevens has more on MSNBC.
@MaxAbrahms @matthewstoller @MaxAbrahms please draw up the strategy whereby we withdraw from Afghanistan but Taliban fails to take Kabul.
