Progressives in the Pacific Northwest are lapping their CA sibs in the race for good housing policy. The latest: An Oregon ban on unfunded inclusionary zoning, with Democratic Socialists leading the charge! 1/3

James Talarico calls out “the groups” in the Democratic Party on immigration. “In recent years there’ve been a series of advocacy groups that claim to represent the interests of different communities like here in Texas, but actually have no real connection to the actual people on the ground. And those groups convinced the [Biden] administration that it was racist to support border security.” x.com/ElectTheBench/…


Graham Platner's got the grit to fight for what’s right on behalf of Maine’s working families—not billionaires and giant corporations. He’s inspired a grassroots movement to flip Maine, and I’m thrilled to endorse @grahamformaine for Senate.


Taylor Frankie Paul has responded to a leaked video from 2023 that appears to show her throwing metal stools at her ex, Dakota Mortensen, while her child is nearby. A spokesperson for Paul said: “It’s sad to see the latest installment of his never-ending, desperate, attention-seeking, destructive campaign to harm Taylor without any regard for the consequences for their child. Releasing an old video, which conveniently omits context, on their son’s birthday is a reprehensible attempt to distract from his own behavior. Thankfully, the public has seen this act before and knows who he is and sadly, many will recognize this pattern of manipulation, both in his actions on the show, and from their own experiences.” variety.com/2026/tv/news/t…

If someone attacks a synagogue because they're angry at Israel, that is antisemitism. It doesn't matter the reason they're angry. Targeting a synagogue because they need to take out their anger on Jewish people--and any Jewish place of worship will do--is antisemitism.


There is no anti-semitism on the left. None. And anti-semitism isn't a meaningful political problem in America. Just stop it.

NEWS: The man who rammed his explosives-laden truck into a Michigan synagogue today was named Ayman Ghazaleh, according to a source familiar with the situation. Ghazaleh posted photos overnight of his family members, including young children, who were killed in a recent Israeli attack on the town of Mashghara, Lebanon. This is a developing story.

New idea: Every time an abundo tweets they also have to hammer a 2x4. Housing supply crisis solved this calendar year. Would make jimmy Carter proud.

One of Musk's DOGE bros explains how he flagged "DEI" grants for termination

I am proud to stand with @grahamformaine @ZohranKMamdani & join @hasanthehun feed. The problem is with the neocons in our party who blundered into Iraq, 20 years in Afghanistan, Libya, Gaza, & now support the Iran war. Out with the old guard. We need a new moral direction.

In the end, Twitter just didn’t have the votes. Sen. Warren overwhelmingly passed the most pro-housing bill in decades. Not a single democrat joined Schatz and Wall Street.

i love that these guys ran on hating cancel culture but practice the silliest versions of it. i do not "hate jews" i hate the conflation between jews and israel. this kind of ridiculous smear not only doesnt work, but it also feeds into unrestrained antisemitism. good luck though

"The plant is going BACK to 100% manufacturing capacity!" The fake news does NOT want to show this! 🇺🇸 @RapidResponse47
