Yes. Nebraska Dems who are in the middle of everywhere play hardball. Yes, we have been organizing for the past 8 years, building at the local level and winning. Yes, we are ready to win statewide, Congressional and #NeLeg races. Donate to keep this work going secure.actblue.com/contribute/pag…

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Putin and his accomplices in the abduction of Ukrainian children. This is a global case – and it must have global consequences. Everyone who commits crimes against children must truly feel that this is wrong. Today, we have new sanctions against those who abduct children and try to normalize it. And the pressure on Russia must not ease. Sanctions work. And the world has power. Please use it right. From an address to the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children (3/3).

Se le otorgó un Oscar Honorífico por el "efecto incalculable que ha tenido en hacer de las películas la forma de arte de este siglo". El momento fue especialmente significativo porque marcaba el regreso de Chaplin a Estados Unidos después de 20 años de exilio político. En 1952, durante la era de McCarthy, se le revocó su permiso de reingreso al país debido a acusaciones de simpatías comunistas. A sus 82 años, Chaplin se mostró visiblemente conmovido y abrumado por el recibimiento. Sus palabras al aceptar el premio fueron breves pero profundas: "Las palabras parecen tan fútiles, tan débiles... solo puedo decir gracias por el honor de invitarme aquí". Aquí tiempos modernos, su obra maestra:

Just found out that Billy Bush has a podcast called "Hot Mics with Billy Bush" which he says is "dominating the American zeitgeist." Thought I'd share.

Rep. Justin Pearson is assaulted by a law enforcement officer in the Tennessee state capitol, and rightfully gives him an earful

@PollTracker2024 Looks like TX is finally shifting.

@SarahLongwell25 People are rarely open-minded, rarely really listen (read), and prefer to play gotcha.

I write a piece about GOP voters warming up to Rubio. The Left: Bulwark is running back to Rubio! Seeeeee. I write a piece about why Dem voters in Maine dismiss concerns about Graham Platner’s tattoo. The Right: Bulwark supports the far left! Seeeee. Analysis, what is it?

@Timodc @GoldmanSachs 😹

I’m avail for freelance consulting on these matters @GoldmanSachs.

Today, I'm announcing that I'm running for the United States Senate. I'm a fifth-generation Kansan. My family came here 147 years ago and settled in a town called Hope. I'm running because Kansas — and our country — deserve better than what Washington has been giving us. We need leaders who put service above self, country before party, and people before politics. I'm an independent-minded Democrat. I’ll lead by listening. And I'll be a champion for Kansas. Join us: HamiltonForKansas.com

One of the most cynical Russian war crimes is the systematic, calculated transfer of Ukrainian children, scattering them across Russia, concealing their fate, “reprogramming” their culture, and continuously, shamelessly subjecting them to militarization. It is vitally important to bring our children back home from there. Before the Russians break them. And every initiative, every activity, every effort that helps achieve this also helps Ukraine. I said this while addressing participants of the Civil Society and Expert Day. Thanks to our Bring Kids Back UA initiative, we have secured 2,126 returns, and we will continue this work. We have engaged strong international mediators to help bring the children home. I am grateful to every country that has joined our Coalition for the Return of Children. I want to thank every leader of the countries contributing to the effort, and every First Lady of countries that care and are concerned about the fate of abducted children. I thank our Bring Kids Back team. I am grateful to all diplomats, international organizations, and journalists who maintain focus on the rescue of children.

@Timodc That is beyond moronic.

Gabe Hamadeh thinks leaflets are gonna do the trick.

@TheStalwart Madrid is such a beautiful city.

Love Madrid half marathon day! Nothing better than getting out and cheering the runners.

@EggerDC @SarahLongwell25 Sean doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

Honestly I don't find this psychological explanation compelling at all. The big difference is positional.

@Timodc @piersmorgan That is SO awkward.

The discipline of @piersmorgan to just sit there silently for the excruciating 90 seconds of page turning without interjecting at all…props

@Timodc I’m with you @Timodc 💯

I would argue that a fundamentally bad person who tried to overthrow our democratic system and is running the biggest corruption racket in the history of the presidency should be opposed on all counts not just “when appropriate.” So call me a Nicene Creed Never Trumper i guess.

@RobbSmith @IAMetatheory Hey Rob, I’ll take that please.

For any of my followers who want a private sneak peek of a @IAMetatheory’s latest project, DM me.

In Italy, a scandal has erupted after one of Vladimir Putin’s favorite propagandists insulted Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. The propagandist is Vladimir Solovyov. Do you know why he’s so angry at Italy? Italian authorities have seized four (!!!) of his villas — all of which were uncovered by Alexei Navalny’s team.

Tucker = liar #apologycon

@Timodc Wow! They are really that stupid.

Wow the White House has gone woke and is now celebrating men succeeding in women’s sports.

Word.
