To independent-minded voters:. Shared power with a GOP that has only complaints and no solutions is a recipe for worsening our problems, therefore I recommend voting for a Democratic Congress.

I love the Brooks which down their channels fret,.Even more than when I tripped lightly as they;.The innocent brightness of a new-born Day.Is lovely yet;.The Clouds that gather round the setting sun.Do take a sober colouring from an eye.That hath kept watch o'er man's mortality.

Shades of the prison-house begin to close.Upon the growing Boy,.But he beholds the light, and whence it flows,.He sees it in his joy;.The Youth, who daily farther from the east.Must travel, still is Nature's Priest,.And by the vision splendid.Is on his way attended.

Whither is fled the visionary gleam?.Where is it now, the glory and the dream?. Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:.The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,.Hath had elsewhere its setting,.And cometh from afar.

@natogreen @Scott_Wiener Terrible take. He makes his views public, they’re fair game. Most of us would say he can’t see what’s happening clearly. He can keep his views to himself or take the criticism.

While Earth herself is adorning,.This sweet May-morning,.And the Children are culling.On every side,.In a thousand valleys far and wide,.Fresh flowers; while the sun shines warm,.And the Babe leaps up on his Mother's arm:—.I hear, I hear, with joy I hear!.

Continuous as the stars that shine.And twinkle on the milky way,.They stretched in never-ending line.Along the margin of a bay:.Ten thousand saw I at a glance,.Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

I wandered lonely as a cloud.That floats on high o'er vales and hills,.When all at once I saw a crowd,.A host, of golden daffodils;.Beside the lake, beneath the trees,.Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

The Rainbow comes and goes.And lovely is the Rose.The Moon doth with delight.Look round her when the heavens are bare.Waters on a starry night.Are beautiful and fair;.The sunshine is a glorious birth;.But yet I know, where'er I go.That there hath past away a glory from the earth.

There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream,.The earth, and every common sight,.To me did seem.Apparelled in celestial light,.The glory and the freshness of a dream.

Now, while the birds thus sing a joyous song,.And while the young lambs bound.As to the tabor's sound,.To me alone there came a thought of grief:.A timely utterance gave that thought relief,.And I again am strong.

The cataracts blow their trumpets from the steep;.No more shall grief of mine the season wrong;.I hear the Echoes through the mountains throng,.The Winds come to me from the fields of sleep,.And all the earth is gay;.Land and sea.Give themselves up to jollity,.

Glory be to God for dappled things –.For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;.For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;.Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches’ wings;.Landscape plotted and pieced – fold, fallow, and plough.

@trekonomics @Powhida Even Italian bureaucracy puts the US to shame. Taxes here are so easy. There’s a great online system integrated w/everyday life — so at tax time all your deductions (small rx copays, daycare, etc.) have been collected and prepopulated for you.

San Rafael full of righteous fury (leavened by the excitement of solidarity) on #ImpeachmentEve. Speeches on behalf of Assm. Levine, Sen. McGuire, Rep. Huffman + the ever-dynamic Anna Pletcher! And lots of music! #democracy

@igorpianist So beautiful, so emotional (and seemingly superhuman). Something new compared to artificially lit concert halls — the changing light of the world as day turned to evening. The aria first with the enthusiasm of day, finally with the melancholy of evening. Thank you.

@brianbeutler Why did you write this without taking into account any of the revelations and considerations offered by AOC? An orderly, gracious succession would be nice, but what makes you think that's possible? Especially since you seem open to passing over Harris?.

@maxberger Whatever your budget is, prepare to spend double. And glorious though the nature is, set your expectations correctly — clouds or rain will make the fjords less spectacular than the tourist photos.

@trekonomics Here’s another good one — the words for olive and oil are cognates so “olive oil” is redundant in the same way. Truly the OG oil.

@Kasparov63 What “extremists” on the left in America are possibly comparable to the conspiracy-touting, democracy-demolishing extremists on the right?.

@JaredHuffman Love your tweets but if this is a real emergency why aren’t you calling for Congress to get back in session and/or adopt remote-voting procedures? Cannot tell you how disappointed I am in the Speaker.

@whstancil Paper seems to draw no distinction between elem school and high school so doesn’t refute the tweet about elem schools opening safely. Research out of Europe, where schools for younger children stayed open when schools for older children did not, will shed more light on this q.

@JonIsAwesomest Youth-culture rallies made sense when he was an insurgent; as frontrunner, he needed validators + earned media. SC was a mack truck visible from a mile away but candidate + campaign went full speed ahead on rallies, often several a day.

@marysdesk No one's talking about Pelosi press conf post-Mueller but worth watching. Leadership repeatedly spells out the peril our democracy is in. Cummings says this moment will be studied in 400 or 500 years. They get it. Pelosi attitude on impeachment clearly not if but when.

@JaredHuffman Why can’t any Democratic leader other than AOC effectively communicate anger over Trump’s outrages? Pelosi and Schumer top out, as @whstancil says, at mild scolding.

@Julia__G @IChotiner @lopez4schools It’s not even that there are any gotcha questions, it’s that when you see her sentences and thoughts written out, it’s painfully obvious she uses language to evade, cudgel and bully, not to grapple with complexity, engage respectfully and persuade. Dismal.

@marysdesk Progressive YIMBY here. Liked your coverage of SB50 yesterday, but, as I’ve come to realize, 95+% of us live in dwellings built by developers. We don’t demonize Safeway for making money selling us food, why hate on everyone who makes $ building homes?.

@whstancil You should listen to the Daily episode on Putin’s speech “A knife to the throat.” Told Russians an unfriendly Ukraine could launch a missile that would hit Moscow in four minutes. Sadly I know Russians who believe this. Also believe it’s precision military op, no civilians hurt.

@ibflorea Read @chrislhayes on the subject. His reductio-ad-absurdum of an op-ed calling for the detention of journalists covering riots shows the subjectivity in where the line is drawn — most convincing argument for why Cotton's shouldn't have been published.

@anniefryman @dylanmatt @voxdotcom Loved it. Struck by your point that the federal govt pours resources into highways — and why shouldn’t housing writ large also get support on that scale?.
