1. In some respects @IgnatiusPost is right- @JoeBiden's cabinet IS built for comfort- BUT its imp to rem the context.

That comfort is a function of the extensive exp this cabinet has- the antithesis of Trump's appointments.

This country NEEDS the antithesis of Trump's cabinet

2. But its also built for another purpose. Its built to be an olive branch to one man- @senatemajldr who is expected to yield either total control over confirmation, or at the least, great influence. Its meant to signal to him that Biden is serious

2. about his "governing for all" campaign pledge & asking for a reset moment in American politics post-Trump. Something he continues to hope for even as more than 1/2 of the House GOP Caucus signs onto an amicus brief to the Supreme Court of the United States that argues to end
3. democracy itself, as @SteveSchmidtSES articulates so clearly in this video that every American should see. Biden could not have presented to the GOP Senate, to McConnell, a more serious peace offering than this cabinet and its a good move that if it

4. works would pull America back from the brink of a civic collapse. So it MUST be tried even if people like myself think the odds of success are depressingly low. It simply MUST BE TRIED. BC if we are to plummet off the cliff, it needs to McConnell & the GOP who on their own are
5. responsible for it, and by handling things the way he has, painful & frustrating as it may be, Biden has guaranteed one of two outcomes: either a diffused tension and reset of American politics, one that will help resteer us back to sanity and eventually marginalize the nuts
6. OR one that falls off the cliff into chaos with the person that pushes us clearly, unambiguously being one @senatemajldr- and he doesn't know it now (though honestly I wish he did bc perhaps he'd consider it as he makes his choice in Jan) but unlike this fall where his selfish
7. unpatriotic choices were made in darkness, with no personal accountability, I plan to make him famous in the way that AOC and The Squad were made famous. He will become the face of GOP extremism and synonymous with the fall of democracy and functioning government in America
8. and Mitch, don't you dare make the mistake of thinking it won't happen buddy. I'm a good teacher, but I'm an even better student & I've studied the GOP's electioneering outfit for years. I know all of its tricks of its trade & I am planning on deploying your own playbook
9. against you and already know it works. When I get done with you, you won't get a paragraph in the textbooks written about this time, you'll be the main culprit of chapters describing how one man, Mitch McConnell and his quest for power destroyed American democracy, hurting
10. millions of Americans in pursuit of a radical economic agenda that starved people through a pandemic. It won't be pretty Mitch. So, you might just want to go with Biden's reset offer. BC it would be, by far, best for America if you could return the Senate to regular order,
11. start reigning in your out-of-control party, and defend the sanctity of the backbone of American democracy: our free and fair elections. Biden's cabinet picks make this easy for you. They are good, solid picks that will guide this country through the massive mess Trump has
12. left us in under a public health crisis that is now the leading cause of death in the US & will likely remain so until the vaccine starts to take effect. And the Senate's actions will play a big role in deciding how many more Americans will die. That means YOU Mitch. You have
13. people's lives, literally in your hands. Play the obstruction game and kill thousands. Kill thousands and I will make you an executioner. Its a new day coming Mitch.

1. I think so. I don't think the issue are plans. The issue is that the ability of our govn't to function-to create & enact policy- has been seriously abridged the past decade to the point where it can't function. We've seen virtually no legislation this past decade & pretty


2. much none relying on just "regular order." Although the Ds spent almost a year trying w the ACA before giving up & using a procedural trick in the end. Keep in mind, McConnell changed the operation of senate so that all bills, ALL, had to reach 60 vote threshold in the senate

3. That was a MASSIVE change to the legislative filibuster (a massive abuse of it). It creates a super majority requirement for laws that the Framers didn't design. And given the issue of misrepresentation the senate, which is causing a Tyranny of the Minority, its really shut

4. down the federal lawmaking apparatus. If Ds flip these 2 GA senate seats, the legislative filibuster will be right back in the spotlight bc McConnell will use it to lockdown Biden's legislative agenda. And we'll have to see how Biden responds. I agree that Biden needs to give

5. McConnell an opp to change his behavior, but if he doesn't Biden will have to go w EOs or ending the legislative filibuster. Either that, or getting nothing done. The GOP will seek to do to him what they did to Obama- use control of the senate OR the filibuster to prevent

We’ve been getting calls and outreach from Queens residents all day about this.

The community’s response? Outrage.


Amazon is a billion-dollar company. The idea that it will receive hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks at a time when our subway is crumbling and our communities need MORE investment, not less, is extremely concerning to residents here.

When we talk about bringing jobs to the community, we need to dig deep:
- Has the company promised to hire in the existing community?
- What’s the quality of jobs + how many are promised? Are these jobs low-wage or high wage? Are there benefits? Can people collectively bargain?

Displacement is not community development. Investing in luxury condos is not the same thing as investing in people and families.

Shuffling working class people out of a community does not improve their quality of life.

We need to focus on good healthcare, living wages, affordable rent. Corporations that offer none of those things should be met w/ skepticism.

It’s possible to establish economic partnerships w/ real opportunities for working families, instead of a race-to-the-bottom competition.
Here we go. Tag 4 des Impeachments. Trumps Verteidigung.


Es wird argumentiert, dass Trump nur habe sicherstellen wollen, dass die Wahl fair abgelaufen sei. Die Verteidigung zeigt Clips einzelner Demokraten, die der Zertifizierung von Trumps Stimmen 2016 widersprechen. (Dass es 2016 keinen von Obama gesandten Mob aufs Kapitol gab?Egal!)

Die intellektuelle Unehrlichkeit ist so unfassbar, ich weiß kaum, wo ich hier überhaupt anfangen soll; so viele fucking Strohmänner auf einmal.

Die Verteidigung spielt random Clips, in denen Demokraten “fight” sagen, fast zehn Minuten lang. Weil Trump 20mal am 6. Januar “fight” gesagt hat. Dies ist kein Witz. Komisch, dass sonst die Folge nie war, dass ein Mob das Kapitol gestürmt hat und Pence hängen wollte


“Dieser Fall geht um politischen Hass” Ich mein, ja. “Die House Managers hassen Donald Trump.”

So close.

Ivor Cummins has been wrong (or lying) almost entirely throughout this pandemic and got paid handsomly for it.

He has been wrong (or lying) so often that it will be nearly impossible for me to track every grift, lie, deceit, manipulation he has pulled. I will use...
