Newsom on climate change: "I’m sorry, I knows it polls at 2%, I’m going to keep talking about it. You can have a debate with the thermometer. Invoking Plutarch: "The imbalance between the rich and the poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics."

BREAKING: VA Gov @SpanbergerForVA just announced tomorrow she's signing an exec order on how election workers and others can react/respond to federal agents appearing at a voting locations where there's a worry about those agents are scaring and intimidating voters.

Members on the Democratic side of the aisle are walking up to Rep. Pressley and giving her hugs and congratulating her. Pressley successfully filed a discharge petition for a bill to grant protections for Haitian migrants. The bill just passed 10 republicans joined all Dems in voting for it.

I want to thank @claycane for asking me to be a part of his extraordinary book tour in celebration of Burn Down Master’s House, a powerful historical novel about how enslaved people bravely resisted and in some cases escaped bondage. It was energizing and inspiring to be before a sold out crowd in Ashland, Virginia. As Clay says, “don’t let them take what they can’t touch.” 💜 They may try to break you but you are still here.

Harris adds a bunch of new book tour stops including one in…South Carolina.

Third Way is out with a forceful statement denouncing the strategy of running progressive candidates in competitive districts. It's maybe not surprising given the candidates the centrist group champions but still it's a drag that will likely provoke strong push back. #TN07

You wouldn’t know this is a campaign that lost from mood at Aftyn Behn’s headquarters. In introducing Behn, her political director said this is the beginning, not the end. “We outperformed every metric that we needed,” Behn said. #TN07

In victory remarks, Matt Van Epps says, “Running from Trump is how you lose. Running with Trump is how you win," per an email from his campaign. #TN07

New: @lachicamayra, former executive director of Latino Victory Project and former executive director of Build Back Together, is planning to run as an independent for the district where she grew up and which @RepChuyGarcia currently represents. I'm told by a person familiar with her campaign that she was spurred to run two weeks ago when Rep. Garcia "attempted to coronate his chief of staff, as she believes voters in her home district deserve a choice in who represents them." She will be making an announcement in the next few weeks, the person tells me.

This clip came up in my memories from 3 years ago today. I was with @abbydphillip and @MZanona talking about the divisions among Democrats over age and a stubborn generation resistant to shape new talent. In many ways, this is still the fight.
