Midwest USA born and raised. Progressive as they come. Happy to be away from “that other place.”
I just got my alert: Sunday morning at 11 central - C-Span begins their replay of Sunday morning shows. Any advice today? How long should I wait to run through them all?

Today’s #sundayshows are going to suck. The challenge for moderators on those shows will be to ask questions and follow up those questions intelligently. Will they be skilled enough to do a good interview today? No. Especially not Kristen Welker. Always the worst. @msnowcomms.bsky.social
Leaders of the future. The NEAR future!
Barack Obama@barackobama.bsky.social · 2d agoThis summer, more than 50 young men from Chicago Public Schools attended the MBK-Obama Leadership Academy to get ready for high school. They earned credits toward graduation, developed important life skills, and built connections. We’re proud of their hard work, and can’t wait to see what they do.

Whoa. Sherrod Brown’s new ad is devastating for Jon Husted. Sarah Bloom Anderson trusted Husted when he looked her in the eye and promised he wouldn’t cut Medicaid, the program that saves her daughter. One week later, Husted voted to cut Medicaid.
Nothing odd about spending the summer living in the women’s locker room in New Jersey. 😂 😱 😳

Sense Hofstede@sensehofstede.nl · 5d agoSCMP: Job losses mount in German automotive sector as challenge from China intensifies – ‘Germany’s automotive industry shed 42,300 jobs in the year to the end of June, sending employment to its lowest level since 2005’ ‘[…] overcapacity in Germany and the shift to electric vehicles (EVs).’
Let me tell you a little bit about Mike Rogers. Never shied away from a DTE check. Will do anything Blue Cross Blue Shield wants him to do. Introduced legislation to increase the flow of opioids. Went back to Florida so he could lick every single boot Donald Trump owns.
Medicare 4 All advocates have been making this case for 25 years. (Or more?) In Ron Suskind’s 2004 book Paul O’Neil made the case to Dick Cheney - that it would cost 2 trillion to switch to M4A back then. And even if Yale was only half-right - that’s 22 YEARS of savings - lives and money we missed.
UAW@uaw.org · last wk."Previous research has shown that shifting the United States to a Medicare for All system could save roughly 68,000 lives and $650 billion per year, but a new study by experts at Yale University suggests the savings would likely be even greater on both fronts." 📰 https://ow.ly/pMNK50ZziQ6
Pete Hegseth believes the Bourne Identity movies were *documentaries.* Soldiers don’t need food or water or sleep - they just need performance enhancing drugs.

It took nearly 7 decades, after invention of the silicon solar cell in 1954, for the world to install 1 terawatt of solar capacity, enough to power entire USA After passing that milestone in 2022, world added its second terawatt in 2024 and its third in 2026 e360.yale.edu/digest/three...
The World Adds a Third Terawatt of Solar Power
In March, the world passed a major energy milestone, adding its third terawatt of solar power. Increasingly, poorer countries are leading the shift to solar, analysts say.

Minnesota just plugged a 710-megawatt #solar farm into a coal plant that once burned 30,000 tons a day. The unique approach to connecting the panels to the grid allowed it to sidestep a typically years-long connection process.

We’re about to see what happens when EVERYONE in the campaign industril complex, media, polling, consultants, advertisers and establishment politicians aligns together against Progressive politicians in order to KEEP THE MONEY FLOWING. Getting the money out will be the hardest political fight ever.
Every Dem campaign needs an ad based on Michigan’s Senate race. AIPAC / pro Netanyahu forces - spent 70 MILLION DOLLARS on a democratic primary. A DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY. And now -those same forces are going to spend an additional HUNDRED MILLION to elect a REPUBLICAN. *THATS* how scared they are.
For those paid to know @msnownews.bsky.social It’s not how long a politician has been in politics -it’s WHO A POLITICIAN WORKS FOR - that determines if they’re “establishment” or not. Do you vote in congress based on what your donors tell you? Or do you vote for what’s best for your constituents?
The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell@lastwordmsnow.bsky.social · 3w agoWATCH: @sanders.senate.gov talks to @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social about the current Democratic establishment and how voters want leaders in the Democratic Party to do more than "tinkering around the edges."
Thought for the day: The folks who spent all that dough on Stevens are going to do it again. This time for Mike Rogers. They must win - no matter with who. This is why it’s important to get the money out. And getting the money out is going to be the biggest mountain to climb in American politics.
I’m watching @msnow tonight and wondering how it is possible that NOBODY who works there seems to understand what we mean when we call a politician an ESTABLISHMENT politician. Hint 1: Would they vote to end inside trading for members of congress and their staff and their families? Hint 2. Would
You know - It’s funny. If you want to spend your entire day responding to comments and replies* - just say something positive about Bernie Sanders or the Progressive movement. *some intelligent but most of them incredibly ignorant… 😂
#faucithehero I wonder how many lawyers had to threaten Dr Fauci’s grade school, middle school, high school, college, and med school administrators with a lawsuit if Dr Fauci’s grades were leaked to the press?

#sundayshows Hey did everyone notice that regardless the show - regardless the network - When talking about the 70 BILLION DOLLARS republicans want to spend on this war of choice - When talking about that money - all the various “journalists” are saying: “well we’re in this now…” Interesting.
Good lord - it just keeps on going and going…
