I’ve got news for Donald Trump: USPS isn’t for sale.

It’s a public good that’s supposed to serve Americans in every corner of the country — not boost some billionaire’s bottom line.

Chief Justice Roberts has the nerve to whine about detractors suggesting “political bias in the judge’s adverse rulings without a credible basis for such allegations.”

The gaslighting is real.

A day before the speaker’s election, Mike Johnson is still racing to win over GOP holdouts. But this time, there’s a big wrinkle: Congress has never before tried to certify a presidential election without a speaker in place. If there’s no speaker on Jan. 6, they may be unable to certify Trump’s win.

🧵 AN OPPORTUNITY TO SOLVE A PROBLEM

We lost ground—not just w/young Black men, but w/men of all backgrounds. Let’s figure out how to make gains.

The party has a listening problem. Showing up 2 weeks before an election won’t cut it. Engagement needs to be year-round, local, focused on real issues.

The other day, I posted about the party needing to connect with Black men where we are—but honestly, the party struggles to engage men in general. We lost ground with most male demographics.

Solid points by @davidhogg.bsky.social made here…

Good news.

Democrat Josh Stein - not GOP crackpot Mark Robinson - was sworn in today as Governor of North Carolina.

Further, Democrat Rachel Hunt is now Lt. Governor, and Mark Robinson is no longer in office.

Celebrate the victories where we can, folks.
