Randy Bryce (@IronStache) does a good job making the concise case for abolishing ICE: It's a new agency that spends a massive amount of money breaking up families and terrorizing children who haven't committed a crime. Simple as that. https://t.co/lfQjcFtrFg h/t @SeanMcElwee pic.twitter.com/enwWt2cMw9

what do you know

Good for him.

relevant convo with Thomas Frank about the party history from the early 70s on. They do talk about the deliberate split with labor some, but not enough as I would have liked

Yeah I like what I'm hearing but I am also a little sad because I was looking forward to coining the term "Cuomomentum."

Kucinich, who spent some of his time away from elected office serving as a Fox News contributor, is a rare politician who is now occupying that sweet spot where Sandersism meets elements of Trumpism.

wtf is up with that goofy zoom effect

kung-fu action

Huge Dem strategy report from McElwee commissioned by Justice Dems. (Have yet to read.)

Again, no mention (at least the summary) of campaign finance reform. IDGI...

at least in the summary I mean

i know i know 538, but i think this is at least a useful way of thinking about 2018 strategy, even if the individual views advanced are not useful. i'm not sure what the right answer is. don't focus on russia. focus on healthcare even though they "won" that battle. what else?

this is cool but boy are some of these graphs demanding of a hard squint

It would be cool if voters gave as much of a shit about "issues" as they claim to

Why should they

because It would be cool

if people voted that would be cool too

lets all agree to do cool stuff in 2018

otm

so you're saying that what's left of 2018 can be salvaged? good great idea!

Democrats 2018: Let’s Salvage Some Stuff

Democrats 2018: Please Salvage

21 salvage

Democrats 2018: Because We're Still Having Elections, Probably

HOOS, can you send someone to give Bill Nelson a shot of bull's blood or something

"He's a very nice young man" -FEINSTEIN after meeting ZUCKERBERG.
"He's very young. And he has 27,000 employees. And it's - that's amazing. He's obviously smart. He obviously knows what he's doing and he has a very pleasant personality. He's not hard-edged in any way that I saw."

feinstein needs to retire

that sounds like something that someone who doesn't know how to use email would say. zuckerberg is one of those young computer using guys, he knows how to send the emails, he seems very nice

I’m at an analyst conference with a bunch of g4rtner types and I have seen two people drafting tweets in Microsoft word. Feinstein reminds me of these people.

They suck btw

Zuckerberg probably called her "Madam Senator" until she insisted he just call her Diane.

their interests are aligned, whaddaya expect

oh what the fuck is this

So you’re telling me if I write an MS word plugin that posts tweets I can sell it to consultants for $79?

Bang where is my $10k/mo MRR

I'm not gonna lie when I tweeted for my job I drafted in a text editor because I was so scared I was accidentally going to hit "Tweet" before it was ready

^ wisdom

thats hustling backwards, twitter is a life on the edge, you might fire off some typos, some violent threats to your enemies, you might even accidentally have a nip slip, just another day on the twitter streets`

CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE: 80 percent of the economic growth generated by the Republican tax cuts will eventually go abroad and benefit foreigners

Nina Turner expressed some concerns about the legality of the raid on Michael Cohen’s office on CNN today. So that’s great and normals

California AFLCIO just endorsed Kevin de Leon over Dianne Feinstein, while the same unions in New York, at Andrew Cuomo's command, split with their own Working Families Party lest Cynthia Nixon get a boost. Why the difference? Read https://t.co/TBqtNlX9pQ
