Only someone without a brain would support U.S. invasion of Iran. Only someone without a heart wouldn't be happy to see Khamenei go down

I was against this war against Iran. Now that it’s happening, I hope it leads to democratic regime change. I’m elated that Khamenei is gone. But the arrest of Maduro has not produced democratic regime change yet. The killing of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders did not end those terrorist groups. We have long ways to go before Iranians are free and living under democracy. Celebrate the end of Khamenei today. Worry about what comes next tomorrow.

Today is the first day of early voting… you all know who I am & that I will continue to fight for transparency, affordability & accountability! I’ll see y’all at the polls! The last democratic governor of Texas faced the exact same attacks, yet she beat them back because she was qualified & strong. “Ann Richards, who served as the 45th Governor of Texas from 1991 to 1995, overcame significant skepticism about her electability to become the first woman elected to the office in her own right. As a liberal Democrat running in a rapidly shifting conservative state, she faced immense pressure and doubt from political insiders before her successful 1990 campaign.”

This whole event has a kind of "manel-discussing-women's-rights vibe. Palestinian Israelis might have something interesting to say about what constitutes "Israel's interest" munkdebates.com/debates/two-st…

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський
I had a good and important meeting with Canada’s Special Representative for the Reconstruction of Ukraine, @cafreeland. Key topics: Ukraine’s reconstruction, support in ensuring our energy resilience and restoring infrastructure. We are counting on Canadian businesses' involvement and Canadian investment in major reconstruction initiatives. I am grateful to Mark Carney, the people of Canada, and Ms. Freeland for Canada’s unwavering support for Ukraine, including strengthening our air defense and contributions to the PURL initiative, which enables us to acquire weapons for our defense.

I like a lot of what Frum has to say. But the equation of Mamdani and Fuentes as somehow equivalent is batshit insane (not to mention the idea that the immune system is worse in the dem party than republican).
David Frum@davidfrum

Who is the national Democrat who will speak as honestly and courageously about Mamdani and PIker as @tedcruz has spoken about Carlson and Fuentes? The disease is worse on the GOP side, but the immune system is weaker on the Democratic side.

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act. She made us proud to be Democrats, and will go down in history as one of the best speakers the House of Representatives has ever had. Nancy, thank you for your leadership and your friendship. Michelle and I wish you and Paul the best in this next chapter.

How can anyone be OK with what Trump's ICE is doing? ICE agents stormed the Oregon home of Maricruz Andres, without a clear judicial warrant, pointed rifles at her family without showing badges, and held minors at gunpoint, all while her baby cried inside. The people were legally present in the U.S. No one should ever have rifles aimed at their children inside their own home This isn’t “border security.” This is state-sanctioned terror inside an American neighborhood.

There is a no greater patriotic, pro-American act than participating in a "no kings" demonstration. Please read the Declaration of Independence.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you. Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide. So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights.

“One of the most depressing 35 mins of my life… the way we’ve decided to treat each other on these panels like we’re enemies…” In which being on a panel (with Kari Lake) understandably bums out @Timodc, who says stop blaming entire groups for an individual’s deranged actions.
