Too many Dems were quick to scapegoat trans ppl after the election. They’re wrong. Abandoning a vulnerable part of our coalition in pursuit of political gain is short sighted. In fact, when trans rights are on the ballot, they win. My take via @thehill:

This wasn’t a losing issue for Democrats so much as it was an ignored issue, and we can’t address concerns — unfounded or not — when we don’t even talk about them.

For every year from 1994 to 2023, immigrants in the US paid more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government. Check out the latest study from Cato’s @David_J_Bier.

"There are long periods of history when (Canadian) values can prosper unchallenged. Ours is not one of them. Our values must be fought for. That’s what we’re doing, that's what Canadians want, Canadians are up for it." - Mark Carney #cdnpoli

Our office just released an audit of 21 state agencies identifying violations of state regulations and a lack of oversight regarding millions of taxpayer dollars in settlement agreements -- including non-disclosure agreements and confidentiality clauses. #mapoli

Apparently the going rate to buy yourself a @massgop Senate nomination is $350k. But if @JohnEDeaton1 thinks he can buy off Massachusetts voters as easily as he bought @massgop, he’s sadly mistaken. #mapoli

Bush created ICE to terrorize Americans. Now, Trump is using it for murder.

Congress did not authorize this war. Venezuela posed no imminent threat to the United States. This is reckless, elective regime change risking American lives (Iraq 2.0) with no plan for the day after. Wars cost more than trophies.

Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?

@agenturban That nearly half of our elected officials (in both parties) hold a second job, and that many of them earn more in that job, calls into question which job is their top priority. https://t.co/yRkR4UpA5E

About two dozen lawmakers — or roughly one in eight of all 200 — reported earning more than $100,000 in addition to their legislative pay.

I practically never agree with @agenturban, but he's (partially) right here. The prevalence of second jobs among #mapoli state legislators is an issue. Representing the People is fulltime+ work and should be their one and only job. https://t.co/FomHXI2bvD

My first dispatch from last month’s Halifax International Security Forum. The absence of America was notable, and those Americans that did show up got an earful from some allies with a pretty blunt message to deliver to our friends to the south.

The priest at a Catholic church in Dedham defended his parish’s decision to replace nativity figurines of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph with a sign reading “ICE was here,” saying the gospel is clear about treating immigrants with respect.

“You feed the hungry, you take care of the homeless ... you take care of people and their needs,” said Father Stephen Josoma. “[ICE raids] are the complete antithesis of that on so many levels.”

Hey @RubenGallego: Allowing “men to men” means treating women with respect If your idea of “expanding the tent” is to disparage women for their looks—and then to double down rather than own up and apologize like a real man would—you have no business leading the Democratic Party
BREAKING: Human Events has received leaked text messages from Senator Reuben Gallego (D-AZ) "Dem women look like Dem men, Dem men look like women"

On the same day that 1 in 3 Dems in Congress got doped into voting against the “horrors” of socialism, a democratic socialist strolled into the oval office and gave a master class on handling Trump’s fascism.
