Sadly, the points below are spot on about my peers in national journalism.

Time perhaps for someone to take action against both Barr and Sherwin? Bar Association, anyone? Garland DOJ?

Per @JakeSherman — McConnell just told Senate Republicans Trump won’t let them help fix the border because he wants to run on it.

🚨INVESTIGATION: In the last 3 years, airlines filed more than 1,800 safety reports - or more than 1 per day - warning regulators about Boeing's 737 Max, according to documents reviewed by @LeverNews. Regulators let Boeing continue self-inspections. levernews.com/airlines-filed…

NEW: Today, Trump privately pressured Senate Republicans to “kill” a bipartisan deal to secure the U.S. border because he doesn’t want Biden to chalk up a win ahead of the 2024 presidential election, per a source familiar with negotiations. huffpost.com/entry/trump-bor…

Wherever violence, fear & hatred thrive, working people cannot. We call for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages & delivery of life-saving supplies to the people of Gaza. This call for peace is rooted in the pain that SEIU members are feeling, from the Jewish member concerned for her son’s safety in Tel Aviv, to the Muslim member who immigrated to this country from the Middle East to escape war, to SEIU healthcare workers who see themselves in the healthcare workers in Gaza who have been killed trying to save lives.

Trying to wrap my mind around the fact that four justices think Texas can subvert federal government enforcement of United States immigration policy

Most of the aid requested for Ukraine will be for American weapons produced in America. Great for the economy. But many in the GOP want the economy to tank before the election

Want to see just how politicized the issues of immigration & the border are? Look no further than the Speaker. It’s pretty stunning to watch someone say for months that an issue is a crisis, & then in the same breath refuse to engage in negotiations until their party is in power.

Ohio has the 15th-most unequal system of taxation in the U.S., according to the Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy. Ohio's system is taxing poor residents much more heavily than the rich and driving further inequality, it says. By @martyschladen ohiocapitaljournal.com/2024/…

Our corporate campaign donations put your life in danger, revealed at @LeverNews expose on Boeing safety waivers following pressure from Representatives it funded.

PA experiencing a measles outbreak. All unvaccinated; half hospitalized. Broader context: -PA is below the threshold of % kindergarteners vaccinated needed for herd immunity -PA has seen a sizable rise in non-medical vaccine exemptions in past 2 years We are moving backwards.

I was advised by an allegedly mainstream Democrat that I would not support or talk about this. No, I've no idea why anyone would think that either.

#Fresh #DemVoice1 I remember this Trump statement- shocking when it happened. This was before we all faced repeated shocks from him and many went numb to it. 2016 Donald Trump “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn't lose any voters” 2024 Donald’s argument before the court is that he can’t be charged with a crime- even assassination - because he has immunity from prosecution as the President and because he wasn’t convicted by the Senate. Trump really believes he is above the law. 2024. Jamie Raskin: He is asserting the right of the President to assassinate citizens. He’s saying he can’t be prosecuted for it. Completely at odds with the Constitution. This goes to the heart of the Republic! Jamie Raskin is correct as a human being and as a Constitutional scholar. Will any Republican listen? I am listening.

As much as I want to laugh at this, it is important to tell the full truth. So here is more context. Donald Trump will not appear on Nevada’s presidential preference primary ballot because he did not file with the Nevada Secretary of State's office to run in this election. This situation is not a result of a decision by election officials but is due to Trump's own action—or in this case, inaction. Trump, along with other Republican figures like Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy, did not file to compete in Nevada’s primary and will instead participate in a caucus held by the Nevada Republican Party. The caucus results, rather than the primary, will be used to determine who the Nevada Republican Party will award delegates to at their national convention. The county election departments are focused on adhering to state law, which mandates holding a presidential preference primary. Election administrators are aiming to prevent confusion among voters, as the political process in Nevada involves both primaries and caucuses with different participation requirements. The distribution of mail ballots to voters is underway, with all ballots expected to be sent out by January 17. ———- Counties remind Nevadans: Trump didn’t file for presidential primary, so he won’t be on ballot - Nevada Current nevadacurrent.com/2024/01/10… Counties remind Nevadans: Trump didn’t file for the presidential primary, so he won’t be on the ballot - Nevada Current nevadacurrent.com/2024/01/10…

In case you missed the absolute clown show that was the House of Representatives talking about Hunter Biden today, I summed up all you need to know—this was Washington at its worst. ⤵️

If you're looking for the dictionary definition of authoritarianism… Well, too bad, because Florida Republicans have banned the dictionary.

A huge loss for us. An exceptional host and colleague.
