Since the election, commentators on the left have argued we should ignore the massive overperformance of moderates relative to leftist candidates because all candidates ran on "populism." Well, no. A 🧵

not impressed that he doesn’t want to try to convince anybody after electorally underperforming in michigan.
Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed just went into Schumer’s office. He’s called for new leadership and supports Van Hollen

If we don’t pass BAAJA, we risk losing $50 billion in electricity savings and missing out on 600 million metric tons in emissions reductions through 2040. That’s like keeping 16 extra coal plants running for a decade. We can’t afford to wait.

i nominate you!
Witkoff has tried for two years to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine. He has failed. He has not even made incremental progress. Maybe time to let someone else try? Every day of failure, after all, means that more people die. Time is of the essence.

i mean honestly, if we’re going to try, put in somebody who has credibility on it. wasting time with clowns we don’t trust.

“Are those asking for a delay motivated because they want to discuss my leadership or because they believe a delay will cause a different outcome? If it is the former, then I am fully prepared to discuss my role as leader. I will not back down from that discussion." simonandschuster.com/books/T…
After the 2014 midterms a bunch of senators told the press they weren’t going to vote for Reid as leader then did anyway. Same thing is gonna happen here—this is all just posturing. No one’s mounting a real challenge and I bet the vote ends up being unanimous or close to it.

🚨 Russian military transport aircraft carrying a senior delegation led by the head of Russia’s military intelligence agency landed at Ben Gurion Airport on Saturday evening in an unusual visit to Israel, 2 sources of Knowledge told the @Jerusalem_Post 🚨 The delegation, which met senior Israeli defence officials, was headed by Admiral Igor Kostyukov, chief of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, commonly known as the GRU, Russia’s military intelligence agency. 🚨 The purpose of the visit and the subjects discussed during the delegation’s meetings in Israel remain unclear, but the unusual landing of a Russian military aircraft in Israel comes amid heightened regional tensions and ongoing uncertainty over the possibility of renewed military confrontation between the US, Israel and Iran. On Monday, the Russian aircraft and the delegation departed Israel and headed to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, where they will participate in the Russian-Ukrainian negotiations under US mediation scheduled for November 10–11.

russia could agree to an unconditional ceasefire that ukraine accepts right now. they’re stalling on a misplaced belief that a break in the war is coming for them.
US is having conversations almost daily with Russia and Ukraine about how to end the war “for good,” and both sides are showing “a little bit of flexibility” privately, US officials told us. They don’t expect to resolve the war in the talks in Abu Dhabi but to get each side to clarify their positions so they can then explore compromises. US wants the Russians to agree to multilateral negotiations with Europe at the table. Post-war security architecture is a focus because both sides have to know “what they’re finishing into.” Kushner and Witkoff may go to see Putin and Zelenskyy soon depending on how the next couple days go, one official said.

From the same KFF poll:
Poll after poll shows Americans support Medicare for All. 66% - KFF poll 59% - Wall Street Journal poll 60%, including 87% of Democrats - Economist-YouGov poll It’s time for Democratic leadership to listen to the American people and PASS IT.

This is what they do.
Exclusive: A covert Russian network sought to exploit last month's riots in France by using social media to blame the unrest on uncontrolled immigration and portray the government as having lost control, according to an internal EU assessment seen by Reuters reut.rs/3UMHXCW

This would be $17 Billion spent that would pretty much just go straight to DoorDash and Amazon. Fund ambitious transit projects. Build highway caps. Create trade schools. Build more state hospitals. Please, do literally anything else.
Greg Abbott and Texas Republicans have been hoarding so much money in the state’s Rainy Day Fund that our new Governor elect, Gina Hinojosa, is proposing to send $1,500 checks to every Texas household. Your vote matters.

shocked.
I’m a little befuddled by all this focus on personalities, surely the left’s compelling ideas will sell just as well whether it’s Ro Khanna or anyone else.

the reaction to woke is moms for liberty. real ones can pull off dei without stoking a culture war over it.
moms for liberty is the best anti-endorsement with me. very easy to vote for zamora.

putting the ball in the corner of the end zone isn’t a crazy call. top priority is overhauling defense, passing game is further down the list.
AUDIO - @calebherring_ & @MattNeverett on the call of the late-game #UNLVFB interception. The Rebels had Wyoming on the ropes putting together a drive featuring 6 runs in 8 plays, with Jet Thomas ripping off 48 yards.

i remember lefties pointing at trump and republicans asking why we’re not aggressively doing that and now look. they need to stop acting like they have the ultimate truth and listen to other folks.
On the contrary, what I wrote in August was that El-Sayed would probably win while running somewhat weaker than a generic Democrat which is exactly what happened. A question to ask is why progressives are dedicated to lying about this?
