This ad was a big miscalculation from @SenatorCollins. I think she is going down next week. Right now I think Dems win 52 or 53 Senate seats.
Senator Collins, I think you are a little out of touch. This is about a cord of wood — and about Mainers struggling to afford to heat their homes this winter. I know what it’s like to run out of fuel. I’ve lived that struggle. That’s the experience I’ll take to the U.S. Senate. And I’ll use it to fight for working people.

I don’t know if McConnell would have been able to push conviction over the top or not. But it would have been close. And he essentially admitted on the Senate floor he knew Trump was guilty. History will remember that he had a chance to stand up and do what was right but he was afraid he couldn’t keep his job as GOP Senate leader.
C-SPAN: Liz Cheney says Trump would’ve been convicted in 2021 if McConnell voted to impeach “I think if he had voted to convict, we would have had enough Republicans who would have followed him that he would've been convicted.”

Israel may finally be able to move on from Netanyahu. His coalition looks well short of a majority. It’s up to the opposition and the Arab parties to work together now and drive the country back from the brink. Let’s hope they can.
Eisenkot: “The initial exit poll results point to an unequivocal lack of confidence in Netanyahu and the government responsible for October 7, on the part of the Zionist majority and the majority of Israeli citizens. I will act immediately to implement the people’s verdict, replace Netanyahu’s government, and establish a Zionist government, as soon as possible.”

Republicans have to run a moderate in the future to win statewide in California. My conservative friends disagree. You can check out the full episode of Red, Blue and Real here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=8UJCQz…. @CA_Dem

Are noncitizens given ballots after being erroneously registered to vote by @CA_Dem CalvinBall rules? Yes, they are. A nonzero amount of them are voting right now. Ensuring that those votes don't disenfranchise US citizens is vital. I spar with @EricMessersmith @MattShupePR @TiffanyMBrannon @dojphofficial @CASOSVote @LACountyRRCC

Let’s hope this happens. In a few days Israel has a chance to turn the page on Bibi.
BREAKING: Former IDF chief Gadi Eizenkot projected to become Israeli Prime Minister after Tuesday’s election, replacing Netanyahu. 52% chance. 🔗 polymarket.com/r/IsraelPM

This is how it’s done.
BREAKING: James Talarico just released an incredible video reminding every American what hope feels like. This is the best political ad we've seen in a long time.

I don’t think you have a dog in this fight but if you did you would have shot it.
I’ll take @ellalangleymsic over Kacey Musgraves any day. And if I’m choosin’ Texas, I’ll take Ken Paxton over James Talarico.

This is the correct take. Instead of rallying the world to put maximum pressure on Putin to force him to make a peace deal, @realDonaldTrump throws him a lifeline. Money he will no doubt use to bomb cities and kill innocent Ukrainians. Short sighted and shameful.
It is sickening that the USA is now lifting sanctions on Russian fuel, and transparently ridiculous to blame Ukraine for the spike in prices that obviously began with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Putin is murdering innocent Ukrainian civilians every day. The Ukrainians are fighting for their lives. And yet the White House is apparently determined to force American drivers to bankroll Putin’s slaughter. It won’t work and I doubt it will make much difference to the price of fuel. If we want Russian oil and gas back on the world market then let’s end this war - with a free, sovereign and independent Ukraine.
