Beto making a visual, visceral case against Trump's wall (that Mexico is not paying for). The eminent domain point seems particularly salient, given that much of the privately owned land that would have to be used/seized for Trump's wall is in Texas.
More on the eminent domain aspects here: thinkprogress.org/exclusive-inte…
And how it's played out in the past in Texas (article from 2017). This seems like an argument Democrats plan to make repeatedly over the next couple months. texastribune.org/2017/12/14/bor…

Russia used every major social media platform to support Trump, new report says - The Washington Post apple.news/AO8Bm-ZfpTQutV…
The fact that Russians incorporated voter suppression aimed at African Americans into their attack on our election has been known but not as emphasized in the coverage. But it turns out to have been particularly aggressive.

Smart take from @CharlesPPierce, who reminds us that the anti-Pelosi revolt is not coming from her left (she's been demonized for years as a "San Francisco liberal") but from her right, by red and purple state Dems who want the party to woo Trump voters: esquire.com/news-politics/…
This despite Pelosi leading the party back to the majority twice, pushing through Obamacare, which was THE issue that helped Dems win this cycle, and the failure of the GOP's strategy of running against her. Also, the wave was urban-suburban, young, diverse & female-not converts.
Viewed that way, the anti-Pelosi gambit is not unlike the old DLC push in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with the same goal: push the Democratic Party to the right. That's a really weird response to what we just saw happen in the midterms.

The #DemsUnder70 –
If Hillary had picked @SenSherrodBrown, OH, would they have won? I think so. Why? “He would have wanted to go to Wisconsin and Michigan and Pennsylvania.”
Slogan – “The Dignity of Work.”
buzzfeednews.com/article/henryg…
#DemsUnder70 – @SenSherrodBrown “has a strong base of voters that support him, including some of the blue-collar, working-class voters” who backed Trump
• Bernie Sanders 2006– “‘Think about what we could do together’ Bernie said to him, night after night”
buzzfeednews.com/article/henryg…
.#DemsUnder70 – @SenSherrodBrown
• “As secretary of state, he put voter registration forms on the tray liners at McDonald’s.”
• “was among only 67 House members who voted against the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act.” FYI - Joe Biden voted for it.

Survey asked black women to say who's among their top three candidates:

Harris: 71.1%
Beto: 38.3%
Biden: 25%
Booker: 24.2%
Warren: 22.3%
Abrams: 15.2%
Bernie: 12.1%

Bernie's never going to be the nominee unless he turns these numbers around
buzzfeednews.com/article/ryancb…
Early polls disproportionately weight toward name recognition, which is why Bernie and Biden tend to top them. But this problem Bernie has with this key base of the party is real.

Cue people yelling at me.
Only 12% of black women listing Bernie as their first, second, or third place candidate is not good, because it's not for lack of name recognition. It's a determination, which could change!, but is a real issue for him.

buzzfeednews.com/article/charli… This is purely about profit. Alex Jones being nuts gets views and shares, and Facebook knows that Robert Mueller won’t sue them. So they let Jones openly defame a man and incite violence against him.
nytimes.com/2018/04/09/bus… I’d say that they are going to get someone killed with their blind eye toward violence incitement, but they already have. Genocidal propaganda has led to deaths in Myanmar, and FB failed to deal with the problem appropriately.
Individuals crowing on social media and at dinner parties about how they are into #DeleteFacebook may feel self-righteous, but that really isn’t a solution. The government needs to step in.
