Let’s be frank: most politicians, the ones who spend their days in halls of power and their nights at high-dollar fundraisers, couldn’t care less about you, and if you think they do care, if you buy their tired rhetoric about “solutions” and “bipartisanship,” you’re a sucker.
You saw it in 2003, in 2008, you see it every day: most politicians are happy to sacrifice you and your livelihood for the rich, the big companies, and the war industry—the ones who give them money. Do you give them money? No? Then why would you think they work for you?
So we have no sympathy for people like John Delaney or John Hickenlooper, whose sole contribution to American life is telling those who want things to improve that better things aren't possible, that our dreary country can't get better. We couldn't care less about their feelings.

It really is incredible to think of what the movement behind Sen. Gravel accomplished. A campaign managed by teenagers for an 89-year old, backed by no money, no political machine, with little media attention, got 65,000 donors before Senators, Representatives, and Governors.
For example: the New York Times doesn't even list Mike as a candidate, even though it lists several (Sestak, Moulton, Messam) who never qualified for the debates. CNN never listed us or polled us. We asked for a town hall from CNN—and got nothing. (Moulton got one, though.)
The next period of this campaign will be, if anything, even harder—we'll have to fight the DNC tooth and nail and do whatever it takes to get Mike on stage. But as Mike said: whatever happens, we've already won. We've done something huge. And it's thanks to you. Thank you.

Elite Democrats want to keep alive the myth that meaningful bipartisanship is possible, so they use McCain, Flake, and Amash as the examples of the "good Republicans." But you can't seriously criticize Trump without criticizing McCain.
Whatever personal valor he had, McCain was also tied to Paul Manafort: Charlie Black of the infamous Black, Manafort, Stone and Kelly Co. served as a senior advisor on McCain's 2008 campaign. And his campaign manager owned a company...with Paul Manafort.
publicintegrity.org/accountability…
McCain supported practically every bad bill of the 1990s and 2000s, from the crime bill to the Patriot Act. He supported the infamous Arizona SB 1070, which encouraged racial profiling. He spread anti-vax conspiracy theories. He originally opposed a national MLK Day!

As the academic year comes to an end here, I want take a moment to talk about the amazing work of my grad students, past and present.
1. @LeahRigueur, now an assistant professor at Harvard's @Kennedy_School, is the author of this brilliant book. She's now hard at work on a follow-up on conservative African Americans in the Reagan years. amazon.com/Loneliness-Bla…
2. @allofmilov, an assistant professor of history at @UVA, has her first book coming out this October.

This is one instance in which you actually *can* judge the book by its cover, because the contents are just as cool:

Can we all take a moment to recognize that the Dutch national health system just murdered a 17 year old girl BECAUSE they couldn't provide her adequate mental health care for her PTSD and eating disorder?
Like folks this wasn't euthanasia. This was just a premeditated murder in the public square.

The girl's family reports that long waiting lists meant she never received adequate mental health care, and as a result her PTSD went unresolved.
Instead of responding in a civilized fashion by either providing her care, or at least refusing to be complicit in her actual slaying, the Dutch government was like, "Yes, let's pay for a doctor to kill her."

1. On July 15, 2017, Justine Ruszczyk, also known as Justine Damond, an Australian-American woman, was shot and killed by Mohamed Noor, a Somali-American Minneapolis Police officer, after she called 9-1-1 to report possible assault of a woman in an alley behind her house.
2. At the time of the shooting, officer Mohammed Noor had been with the Minneapolis Police Department for 21 months; officer Matthew Harrity, the driver of the police squad car, had been on the force for one year.
3. In two years as a police officer, Mohammed Noor had three formal complaints against him, two of which, as of September 2017, are pending resolution. In a separate case from May 2017, he is being sued for allegedly assaulting a woman while on duty.

I'd like to take a moment to recognize the valuable contribution that @LizaGoitein has made over the past year plus in the area of emergency powers, work that has become incredibly relevant this week...
With her colleague @RachelBLevinson, @LizaGoitein convened a scholarly working group in the fall of 2017 to explore emergency powers and their potential use in the Trump era....
...she and her @BrennanCenter colleagues stayed on this beat since then, providing valuable resources like this one summarizing emergency powers authorities and historical application: brennancenter.org/analysis/emerg…
