Geez.

Via Josh Marshall:

at some point people will realize that having an electoral movement which routinely threatens to kill its opponents is a major problem.

Per a senior GOP source, “Ferguson told the conference that he‘s had to have a sheriff stationed at his daughter’s school over death threats from the far right. Also one at his house.” #JimJordan

President Biden is seeking public support for tens of billions of dollars in additional American spending to support Israel and Ukraine, both of which are fighting wars. As I explain in this VOA radio report, the Congress – divided into a Republican-controlled House and a Democrat-dominated Senate – will have to approve the spending.

Here's a photo of me looking like I don't know how to use a webcam because I don't.

Got a working phone behold camera quality

During a primetime address President Biden drew a direct link between Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Hamas's attack on Israel and called on Congress to help him defeat both threats. https://t.co/8BvBuJpA06

@timkmak These are uninformed Americans, or vatniks. The more information people have, the more they support Ukraine and its right to determine its own future.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK:

Hi, it’s Tim here.

On the somber note of Ross’ journal entry, I wanted to share a poster I saw recently in Ukraine’s capital.

It’s a reminder – even while having a late fall stroll, or enjoying a meal out with friends – not to forget.

He was at first a civilian, but he met the death of a warrior.

Ross felt a mixture of feelings when he heard this news, and these feelings haunted him all day.

A sorrow, for the pain that Sam's family and friends will have to endure.

Anger for how unjust this world is.

When the war is over, what sort of society will be left?

A lesser society than would have otherwise existed, no doubt.

This reportedly includes $60b for #Ukraine and $10b for Israel.

This would merely be a request, as Congress needs to consider and pass funding legislation.

… AND BIG SPEECH TONIGHT:

The president is expected to deliver a primetime speech Thursday evening linking the issues together, in just the second formal Oval Office speech since he became president, per the NYT.

Say no more…

Also, I fucking love Madison.

My old rabbi’s shul was just vandalized by eggs and swastika graffiti.

The vandal was caught on camera. Right before he threw the eggs, he asked, “Is this a Jewish temple?” He knew was being recorded and didn’t even cover his face.

This is the photo of the vandal, by the way.

Some gentle reminders as I thank you again for the kind words about WWHF:

I want to help, but I get very overwhelmed on social media, email, etc. I’m not tooting my own horn - but if you need me something, please be specific and tell me where we met and what you need. I get truly overwhelming spam.

I absolutely stick around after talks and keynotes and I’m happy to chat, hug, and take photos! (Just please let me eat if I am).

I speak and run clinics! If you want me to come to your con or nonprofit, travel help is very appreciated but I’m a cheap date. Corporate, please go through my employer or agent.

I know my Calendly is insanely booked and I do try to add time slots when I can. Check back!! Please show if you register because people need the help and wait a long time.

I hope I don’t sound too pretentious. I do my best to help!

@Free_Press well of course. McCarthy showed them that you can just keep going. And going. And going. That's normal now. Which is why, if the GOP lose the next election, we can expect either endless court cases or another actual insurrection contesting it. They've lost their goddamn minds.

"For the United States alone, the economic cost of long COVID is estimated to be $3 trillion over the next five years."

Long COVID is an economic justice issue that we can not afford to ignore.

What a powerful and beautiful image. The strength of Democrats is strong and getting stronger.

White people don't get to tell Black people what's racist and what isn't racist.

Non-BIPOC don't get to tell BIPOC people what's racist and what isn't racist.

Non-Indigenous don't get to tell Indigenous people what's anti-Indigenous and what isn't anti-Indigenous.

Non-Jews don't get to tell Jewish people what's anti-Semitic and what isn't anti-Semitic.

That's just the way it works, folks. If you don't like it, tough...

Today I proudly voted for Leader Jeffries for Speaker.

The contrast is crystal clear.

House Democrats are united and ready to find common ground, so that we can deliver for the American people. It’s time for responsible Republicans to work with us.
