BIDEN on apartheid South Africa: “They’ve tried everything for the last 20 years. They’ve begged, they’ve borrowed, they’ve crawled. Now they’re taking up arms. What’s our timetable? What are we saying to that repugnant regime? Are we saying you got 20 days? 20 months? 20 years?”

In any normal world, and/or with any other country, this would be on the front page of every newspaper tomorrow morning and leading every news bulletin tonight. But it won't.

Bidenomics fell flat electorally. It was progressive — it was ahead of Europe, for example, in terms of its upstream industrial policy initiatives — but it just did not do enough for the stuff that people feel immediately. My new longform Interview with @sunraysunray

Bernie Sanders to Trump voters in Wisconsin December 2016 with @chrislhayes on his authoritarian promises: “Three out of four of you are saying is, ‘Yeah, he talked about that stuff but it will never happen,’ Why do you vote for someone who, in a sense then, is lying?”


Last month, my inbox overflowed with Jill Stein supporters calling me a DNC-paid genocide-enabler. Now, the K-Hive flood it with accusations of being financed by Iran, adding, “I hope you enjoy getting banned and watching Gaza disappear.” Lots of bots on both sides, I assume.

BREAKING: The "nonprofit killer" bill is back on track. H.R. 9495 has been set for a hearing MONDAY before the House Rules Committee, which could tee it up for a floor vote next week. The bill was largely designed to target pro-Palestine groups theintercept.com/2024/11/15/non…


I differ with @MGPforCongress on things, but her critique of the media is spot on. TMZ-style coverage (Gaetz vs McCarthy, Pelosi vs Bernie) over felt crises (fentanyl, public schools, wildfires) erodes trust in democracy and strengthens authoritarians in the War on Attention.

She won in a red district. Her blunt message to fellow Dems Watch the full video here: tinyurl.com/3ahm3b9m



Why one of the most diverse zip codes in the entire world swung to Trump:

Why did so many working class New Yorkers vote for Donald Trump last week — and even more not vote at all? I went to Hillside Ave in Queens and Fordham Rd in the Bronx to find out.

What’s happening in Palestine is genocide! We cannot let this war and the murders of civilians continue on our watch. It must stop now. Jewish people and the state are not the same. This war has to end. youtu.be/0-gBkSC_Ozw?si…

There hasn't actually been a major shift of young people to the right — this election mostly reflects a turnout collapse of young Democratic voters When you account for turnout, Trump in '24 barely got a higher % of youth than when he lost last time

NEW: The Biden administration confirms Israel will face no policy consequences for the lack of aid getting into Gaza following Blinken’s threat to potentially withdraw military assistance if key demands aren’t met in 30 days (in a letter sent days before the US election)
