@davidsirota @jonfavs @grahamformaine This exchange stands as a precision, political haiku calling for radical change in the Democratic Party.

If you only watch one thing today, watch this exchange between @jonfavs & @grahamformaine. It doesn’t just show Platner destroying the Pod Save guys, it explains the divide in the Dem Party & shows how the party elite still doesn't understand what happened in this country.

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.  And if, after an American citizen is murdered in the middle of a neighborhood, after dropping off her kid at school, if you can’t come to the mic — no matter your political party, no matter what you came for — and express just a shred of humanity, you are not a patriot. You do not love this country, and you do not love its people.

When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space shuttle flights at NASA, and every day since I retired – which I did after my wife Gabby was shot in the head while serving her constituents. In combat, I had a missile blow up next to my jet and flew through anti-aircraft fire to drop bombs on enemy targets. At NASA, I launched on a rocket, commanded the space shuttle, and was part of the recovery mission that brought home the bodies of my astronaut classmates who died on Columbia. I did all of this in service to this country that I love and has given me so much. Secretary Hegseth’s tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the President’s posts saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death. If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution.

DONNIE J. AND KaroLYIN’ LEAVITT WILL HAVE THEIR (LITTLE) HANDS “FULL” TODAY. WHOOPS.

HISTORY MADE. THE GOP’S RIGGED GAME IS OVER!!!! THE PEOPLE RETAKE CONGRESS. YOU'RE WELCOME, AMERICA! LIBERATION DAY!!! THAT IS WHAT MANY ARE CALLING IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. — GCN

@mattyglesias I thought using video as Kompromat was his gig, no?

@LakotaMan1 @theliamnissan I make sure his tires are at the right pressure and there is enough clean oil. Fresh wiper blades, too.

@theliamnissan Don’t listen to this guy sir. I start everyday by watching one of your amazing films. And at night I drift off to the sound of your soothing, masculine voice. I’m your number one fan btw.

I'm Eileen Laubacher. A retired Rear Admiral and the Democrat running against Lauren Boebert. I know what sacrifice means and service looks like. Boebert doesn’t have a clue. Can you help me get to 20k followers to show her we can do this?!

@MattGertz @ArmandDoma Are you still planning to run for governor in Florida?

@ArmandDoma This will creat jobs.

If higher tariffs remain still on Mexico, China, EU and Canada, that is…60% of US trade…

@amyklobuchar Thank you, senator!

As if the tariffs weren’t bad enough…we’re here voting on the Senate floor to make clear that the Senate Republican budget is a tax scam for the wealthiest, adding 37 trillion to the debt in the next 30 years.  Their priorities are clear. We are fighting back.

The Justice Dept and the court system failed to uphold the principle that no one is above the law. DOJ by neglecting to promptly investigate the events of Jan 6, and the courts by willfully delaying progress of the case and providing immunity. The public deserved better.

@RepAdamSchiff We sure damn did.

@DonaldJTrumpJr The tweet you quoted is false.

That was a cataclysm. Electoral map wipeout. Senate D practical ceiling is now 52 seats. R's is 62. Time to rebuild the left. We are out of touch with the crisis of meaning/purpose fueling MAGA. We refuse to pick big fights. Our tent is too small. 1/ Some early thoughts:

It’s going to take time to sort through what happened Tuesday. But I've read a lot of takes the past few days (some good, many bad), and I've had a lot of people ask how I won one of the toughest districts in the country by over 13%. Here are some thoughts: 🧵
