It's been 60 days since the House passed the HEROES Act —emergency COVID-19 aid for unemployed Americans, schools, cities and more.
By blocking it, Senate Republicans are compounding the misery of Trump's America. We need to flip the Senate this November. swingleft.org/p/senate?sourc…

“Children as young as 7 and 8, many of them wearing clothes caked with snot and tears, are caring for infants they’ve just met.Toddlers without diapers are relieving themselves in their pants. Teenage mothers are wearing clothes stained with breast milk.”

They chanted USA USA. The kind of arsonists who hang around the fire to watch it burn

Why should I be “spirited and warm” for this embarrassment of a #SOTU?
Tonight was an unsettling night for our country. The president failed to offer any plan, any vision at all, for our future.
We’re flying without a pilot. And I‘m not here to comfort anyone about that fact.

There's a big part of the Democratic Party that's basically indifferent about the end of human civilization but paying it some lip service. Every single one of them should face a primary challenger. huffingtonpost.com/entry/kat…

at this point I'm not sure what "the middle" even means. solar panels on the border wall? free wifi in the prison camps? tax breaks on medical crowdfunding? compromising with evil just gives you diet evil, it turns out

By 2050, climate change & extreme weather could force more than 200 million people to leave home. There is no climate justice without migrant justice.
On #InternationalMigrantsDay, hear @ty_ushka connect the dots between climate change & migration: 350.org/migration

We're changing the terms of the debate.
"Spurred by dire scientific warnings and new Capitol Hill protests, Democrats preparing to run for president have been rushing to shift their plans for combating climate change."

THREAD: Congressional Republicans have de-toothed the IRS over the past decade. Here's why that matters.
The agency responsible for funding the federal government is in crisis, and no one's talking about it—except @paulkiel at @ProPublica, who wrote this phenomenal piece. propublica.org/article/how-t…

How about... no.
Sometimes political media is too fixated on personalities instead of policies.
The whole country JUST went through an exhausting midterm election. We need a break.
Can we instead talk about healthcare, a living wage, legalizing cannabis, GND, & other issues?
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez should run for president and dare the Supreme Court to stop her, argues @mattyglesias. bit.ly/2BdisOp

Somewhere along the line, people in positions of influence decided that Flint water, Bronx air, or poor schools WEREN’T acceptable for their children, but could be accepted for someone else’s.
And I will never think that is a reasonable compromise to make.
So #CallMeRadical.

Whoah - looks like our Congressional orientation had a lot more lobbyists than we thought.
This is not okay. Lobbyists are not impartial - they are employed to influence legislation.
60+ incoming members were listening to panelists without knowing which were hired lobbyists.

To all the men responding to this @ELLEmagazine video w/a range of (some) well meaning but mostly tone deaf queries of, "Where are the men?" Ask yourself when, if ever you asked that ? re: women when men have dominated every power narrative & space for generations? #aboutdamntime

These are the reasons young people say they didn't vote in 2012.
1) Not being registered is the #1 reason for all groups.
2) Blacks are ~3.7x more likely than whites to cite lack of proper ID, long lines.
3) Whites more likely to cite disliking candidates, lack of interest.

I'm at a hipster coffee shop in Polish coal country. Everyone here is a current or retired miner whispering about how they want a global Green New Deal.

Trump wants to say Obamacare is a failure, so the Dept. of Health & Human Services cut almost ALL advertising for open enrollment this year.
RT this to let ALL Americans know they have until Dec. 15 to enroll at Healthcare.gov. Don't keep it a secret. #GetCovered
