RT @drvox: A reminder: the reason climate policy is so difficult to pass in the US is that the GOP, alone among major developed-world parties, denies the existence of the problem and has steadfastly, in practice, opposed all serious solutions.

RT @drvox: My absolute favorite thing about Greta Thunberg is that she rejects lefty politicians' smarmy, Disney-fied celebrations of her pluck & courage with the exact same anger she brings to the right's denial.

We need to hear from the CDC and e NIH in a live news conference, with no elected officials within five hundred yards, and public health and science journalists in the room rather not those who cover politics. And the stations should cover it live because the airwaves are public.

I’ve been in multi candidate races that I’ve lost and multi candidate races that I’ve won and the thing is that winning and losing feel really similar until the end.

@chadfelixg Congress should support the reauthorization of the Ryan White Care Act only after completion of an audit to ensure that federal dollars were no longer being given to organizations that celebrate and encourage the types of behaviors that facilitate the spreading of the HIV virus.

Mike Pence is for conversion therapy. Mike Pence said smoking didn’t cause cancer. Mike Pence doesn’t believe climate science. Mike Pence questioned whether or not confirms worked. So,

I have opinions.

Coalition building is essential to winning politics. That means we need everyone from young democratic socialists to suburban moms and former republicans, from union members to Uber drivers and soldiers. And really listening to is in fact the most progressive thing we can do.

I’m not necessarily trying to save the Iowa caucus (I seriously think it should be moved to hawaii) or anything but the reason that the conventional wisdom is congealing against it is that a bunch of pundits want to go to sleep.

This music is doing the trick for me tonight.

Look I’m not naive. I understand how this goes. But it is impossible for me to understand how you can vote to stop gathering information.

Hey don’t just quote the most digestible sound bites from the competently insane letter the President wrote. The main thing is that the President wrote a completely insane letter to the Speaker, and that he’s clearly not doing ok.

“We have nothing to hide (except all of the witnesses with first hand knowledge.” - Senate Republicans, I guess.

If you tweet mentions Hillary Clinton in 2019 you need new material.

A process point that the public may not understand yet is that in a 53-47 Senate, all procedural questions on the trial can be handled in a reasonable and fair manner if AMD only if four Republicans will step up.
