MAJOR Victory in Montana!

Bill that would criminalize parents with felony child endangerment DIES in Montana after 15 Republicans cross party lines.

The bill would have criminalized even parents of trans kids driving through the state.

It died after nonbinary rep Howell delivered a strong speech.

1. Happening now: Montana is hearing a bill that would charge parents of transgender kids with felony child endangerment.

It is one of the most extreme bills of the year, and the vote is TODAY.

It's already passed the MT Senate.

Watch live with me:

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

Every word of this is a lie.
Musk: "The waste and fraud in entitlement spending -- that's the big one to eliminate. That's the half trillion, maybe 600 or 700 billion a year. That's also the mechanism by which Democrats attract & retain illegal immigrants by essentially paying them to come here & then turning them into voters."

As reported, the entire staff of 538 was laid off this morning. This is a severe blow to political data journalism, and I feel for my colleagues. Readers note: As we were instructed not to publish any new content, all planned updates to polls data and averages are canceled indefinitely. Huge loss :(

All it would take to end this madness are a few Republicans to say, "No more." Their silence is deafening. They are all complicit. I keep wondering what was the price in exchange for their silence?

Trump and Vance wanted Zelensky to thank them for an aid package that Vance voted against and Trump opposed.

Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy.

Let that sink in.

It would be interesting if some brave journalists would ask Marco Rubio weather he stands by his 2020 SSCI report co-authored with Mark Warner on Russia’s interference in the 2016 election rollcall.com/2020/08/18/s...

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.

Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

@msnbc.com, don’t mess this up. The Weekend trio is 🔥—they keep it real & that’s what folks are looking for right now, but so does Joy Reid. She brings facts, truth & a perspective we can count on. We need that now more than ever.

Real talk: replace Morning Joe instead. Viewers are over it.

Alternative to a day of boycotting is considering an ongoing resource shift.

Starving oligarchic business as much as you can. Supporting and empowering local and responsible companies as much as you can.

Don’t try to be perfect but live your economic power fully.

Not for a day. Every Day.

It should be a source of profound embarrassment that a bunch of FedSoc lifers are taking a more vocal and principled stand against the corrupt Eric Adams deal than most elected Dems.

Meditate today, even for just 5 minutes.

Then contemplate the interdependence of your community, how we all rely on each other.

I keep hearing pundits say "Americans support reducing size of federal workforce." Well some might but I can 100% assure you they will care when their Social Security payment doesn't come and there's no one answering phone at SS admin, same for Medicare, veteran's benefits, disaster relief etc
