I think Republicans have by and large yet to come to terms that the President whose preelection pitch was “pool” and post-drubbing response was “ballroom” does not in fact, “got this.”

Our for-profit healthcare system is an expensive and deadly disaster. We do not have to live like this. We need single-payer Medicare for All — no ifs, ands, or buts.

A huge blow to those who love Big Bend National Park, which may now see significant construction inside the Park, even in remote areas where illegal entries are virtually nonexistent. Yet another argument for ending jurisdiction-stripping statutes which bar judicial review.

Federal contractors use heavy equipment for preliminary work that began in August inside Big Bend National Park in southwest Texas, ahead of construction on $1.72B border infrastructure project for 17 miles of vehicle barriers.

BREAKING: Supreme Court grants Trump’s emergency appeal to resume construction on Big Bend border wall Jackson is the only noted dissent @courthousenews.bsky.social

Would you rather have your tax dollars go to making child care more affordable or another endless war? Trump wants to spend them on endless war. I want to invest in our babies and their futures.

As public opposition to data centers (and the dirty energy that powers them) keeps growing, Democrats would be extremely foolish to hand Big Tech developers and the fossil fuel industry a massive sweetheart deal. They should vote NO on the so-called permitting reform bill. (202) 224-3121

Al Gore statement: I have tremendous respect for the two Democratic Senators who have negotiated the permitting bill with two of their Republican colleagues — a bill that Congress is considering for passage during the lame duck session. I sincerely and respectfully urge the Democratic sponsors of the bill to reconsider their decision to move forward with this legislation. There’s no doubt that we need to reform the way that clean energy projects are reviewed and permitted. But as it currently stands, the bill would be an extremely serious mistake, in my opinion, and would do far more harm than good. Given how this Administration has run roughshod over the environmental laws and protections that are currently in place, now is not the time to give the Trump administration freer rein to double down on fossil fuels — which is what President Trump would surely do. And after last week’s historic election, we will have a new Congress in January that can strike a far better balance.

On the verge of winning Mississippi, Scott Colom points a finger at the Cook Political Report and other election prognosticators and says they hamstrung candidates like him and Louisiana’s Jamie Davis by rating their races unwinnable

Scott Colom on Twitter: 

At some point, we have to talk about @CookPolitical and other "prognosticators" who had me and other southern candidates labeled as solid R for much of the campaign cycle. They made it much more difficult to fundraise and are part of the reason the South has been neglected for so long.

They're only a reflection of the past and mysteriously avoid any accountability when they're wrong. One of their "analysts" was extremely condescending to me (not Jessica) when I tried to make my pitch for why they were wrong about my rating like he knew something about MS politics when he's never been to the Sip. This attitude hurt Jaime Davis & others so much.
