You know who the congressional heroes are right now?
-@katieporteroc
-@HarleyRouda
-@Malinowski
-@DebbieforFL
-@SeanCasten

Each one flipped a GOP seat last year, and each one is publicly calling for impeachment proceedings now. They're not cowering - they're leading.
@katieporteroc @HarleyRouda @Malinowski @DebbieforFL @SeanCasten And I missed @Ann_Kirkpatrick! She also flipped a GOP seat last year, also will be targeted by GOP next year, and also is publicly calling for impeachment proceedings now.

By @IndivisibleTeam's count, 37 of the 97 members of the House Progressive Caucus aren't yet calling for impeachment. These Reps are mostly in safe Dem districts, but they're sitting on the sidelines. If they don't get in game, Pelosi will never move.
If every one of them came out in favor of impeachment, that would bring the total to about 130 - far more than half of the Democratic Caucus. But while these safe Dems stay on the sidelines, other more vulnerable Dems are sticking their necks out on this.
So if one of these is your Rep - your job is to get them on the record calling for impeachment proceedings. If you need help, check out @IndivisibleTeam's resource: impeach.indivisible.org.

.@ewarren is out today with the most detailed, forward-looking, people-centered immigration policy of any presidential candidate. nytimes.com/2019/07/11/us/…
This is good policy, and it's also smart strategically. Anti-immigrant hate is the heart of Trumpism, and we know Trump is going to make 2020 about immigration.
If we want to win in 2020, the Dem candidate needs a clear, values-driven alternative to Trump's xenophobia. That's what Warren has just put out.

The Democratic Senate Minority Leader and the Democratic Speaker of the House could have fought against Trump's concentration camps but didn't want to spend political capital. That's the story.
If you don't like that, here's some good news: Members of Congress are back home for July 4th recess now. And we've found all the public events of those members who voted for Trump's border bill:
The next big legislative fight will be over how much to fund Trump's deportation machine. Democratic leadership - Pelosi and Schumer- could oppose new funding, but so far they haven't. If you'd like them to not give a blank check to Trump again, let your Rep & Senators know.

1 A photographic look at Pence @VP visit to 2 TX detention centers w 7 #GOP senators. A thread about photo access and visual framing in an age of hate and hysteria. The entourage facing US handiwork without game faces. (screenshot: @Reuters)
2 Let's be mindful of goal: to counteract shocking pix from last 2 urgent @DHSOIG (random) inspection visual reports, the @HispanicCaucus pix from Clint, & #BorderPatrol FB scandal. Paradoxically, aim is to show previous scenes inaccurate, yet still "tough stuff" (& blame Dems).
3 One of goals of @VP trip was to insulate/defend #BorderPatrol from reports about its almost 10k member private racially/sexually toxic FB group. Did address this in context of border visit day before in San Diego in response to q's. Via @joshdawsey @washingtonpost pool report.

"Now to be clear, these things are not fictions or fabrications…I mean there IS an environmental crises (though the nature of this crises seems still rather opaque) and there is a vicious incremental genocide going on in Gaza."

This makes me want to absolutely scream. What is opaque? @johnsteppling Please there's mountains of data. Read an IPCC report. What is opaque??

Now that we're through the polar vortex, I want to revisit some of the communication frames that emerged over the past week. I noticed there were two main messages about the cold snap in the media, both originating from solid sources in the climate community.
First was the news that the polar vortex is being made worse by climate change, because a weakened jet stream essentially leaks cold air down to more southern regions. Makes sense.

noaa.gov/multimedia/inf….
Then, another wave of news described how cold snaps like the one we experienced last week have become far fewer in past decades and that the overall warming trend on our planet remains steadfast. Also rock solid.

Know what people don't realize? The consequences that come with labeling someone, something they're not. Even if #Kavanaugh is proven innocent, the label itself will stick with him the rest of his life.

Let me tell you a little bit about myself and my situation.....cont.
When I was 12. Maybe 13. I had one good friend that I hung out with. Day In and Day Out. We were inseparable. He stayed with me, I stayed with him. For some reason, even though he was the one who was considered the "bad kid", his parents never really liked me.....cont.
He got in trouble at a young age and was sent away. To where, I've never known. His little brother, a couple years younger, used to get bullied all the time. While my friend was away, I stuck around and protected the little brother. Even stayed and hung out a couple times...cont.

One day around 2014, I had to ask myself two questions:

1. Are you really an entrepreneur?
2. If yes, do you think you are a good entrepreneur?

The first question was the hardest to answer. It made the answer to the second easier.

Who are you really? What are you??
Our ego makes us believe that we are what we are not. It is still important as entrepreneurship is a confidence game. I realized in 2013 while at a course at Harvard (thanks to Joe Fuller) that I had been doing the wrong thing and pursuing a dying model for over a decade
For over a decade, I had missed out on a critical part of entrepreneurship which is the reality check given by a mentor who's already walked in the shoes you were trying on. Joe Fuller had started one of the largest consulting firms in the world and knew it was a zero equity gig

I can't with this guy...but interestingly, he's also revealing a lot with each one of these interviews.

Why not just go speak to the Grand Jury? Clearly, it's not about avoiding spending more time talking about the investigation and your experience...

He can't help himself..
#NOW: SAM NUNBERG says he was told he wasn't a target or a subject of the investigation and he was OFFERED IMMUNITY by the Special Counsel's team.

He also said THEY WANT HIM TO TESTIFY...TO CATCH ROGER STONE ON PERJURY...

ADMITTING THAT ROGER MAY HAVE LIED TO PROSECUTORS.
#LOL: Save this one...

SAM NUNBERG: "I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL, COME ON."
