We have a special feature at @theprospect starting today. Since we're in the Second Gilded Age, we thought we'd relive a feature of the First Gilded Age: serializing an entire book in a magazine.
Today, we are releasing the introduction to Take Back Our Party: Restoring the Democratic Legacy, a new book by @jamesykwak. And we will release every chapter of the book over the next two weeks. Here's the intro. prospect.org/politics/take-…
James is a terrific writer, the author of Economism and co-author with @baselinescene of 13 Bankers and White House Burning.
This book is his manifesto of sorts, an elegy for the party of the people and a prescription for getting back on track prospect.org/politics/take-…
We can't think of another instance in the modern era of a magazine serializing an entire book. Charles Dickens did it, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle did it, Harriet Beecher Stowe did it, and now we have @theprospect, bringing the tradition back. Enjoy! prospect.org/politics/take-…

I'm hearing that the Congressional Progressive Caucus is whipping their members to vote AGAINST HR 3, the drug pricing bill that Pelosi decided to commandeer. CPC is seeing if they have the numbers to vote down the rule and tank the bill.
Pelosi pushed the caucus too far by whittling down the drug pricing bill, seen as a top priority, and taking out Rep. Jayapal's amendment to expand the population of beneficiaries. prospect.org/health/mother-…
it's the culmination of an incredible journey for a bill Pelosi named after Elijah Cummings. She froze progressives out of the process and torched their amendments.
Previous Progressive Caucuses would have taken it. This one appears to be fighting back.

So here it is. @theprospect's entire site is given over to the politics and policy of a #GreenNewDeal today. Let's walk through it (big thread coming) prospect.org #GreenProspect
We wanted to examine whether and how you could practically accomplish a transformation of the planet to limit temperature rise. And we assembled 22 reporters, experts, and climate leaders to lay it out. All of those pieces are live at prospect.org today. #GreenProspect
We start with an introduction by @rkuttnerwrites, on why a #GreenNewDeal is realistic, practical, and necessary. prospect.org/greennewdeal/t…

Great day of "sneak in a story between impeachment witnesses" at @theprospect:
This is an amazing report from @sarahljaffe, on the ground in the UK as Labour activists pull together to canvass in marginal districts. I don't think any US outlet understands the ground game secret weapon Labour has been readying for two years prospect.org/world/labour-a…
@sarahljaffe Seriously, this piece is so good.

Starting a new thread.

Sensenbrenner one-upping Lofgren on impeachments.

He does not look well.
Sensenbrenner disagrees with Gerald Ford on basis for impeachment, whatever a majority of the House could agree on.
Sensenbrenner Claims inquiry arose out of Trump saying "do me a favor."

Um. No. It came out of the context of that.

Today I'm live tweeting my re-read of The Dream Thieves, book 2 in the Raven Cycle. It will be spoilery and probably sweary. I couldn't find a single US copy anywhere in my house, so I'll be reading this UK copy instead, which means I'm mentally preparing for kerbs and colours.
On the cover of this one, it says 'the thrilling sequel to the Raven Boys' which was true for me, anyway. TDT remains my favorite of the series. Or at least it was. LET'S SEE HOW I FEEL IN A FEW HOURS
According to my records, I listened to "Intro" by Alt-J 157 times while writing this book, so I'm gonna go ahead and do it a 158th time now.

The Gift of Fear, by Gavin de Becker
"Predatory animals devour prey in order to convert flesh into fuel. Most human predators, however, seek power, not food. To destroy or damage something is to take its power. To push a pie into the face of the world's richest man is to take his power, if only for a moment."
Chapter 1 opens with a play-by-play of Kelly's interaction with a stranger. She's heading home with her hands full, when a bag gives way, and a young man appears, offering his help. He talks too much, insists on following her up, and into her home. He rapes and almost kills her.

@GEM_Hello
Let's start our #GEMChats this week. The topic of this week is #student #entrepreneurship!

We'll discuss these three factors in the poll options below as well as replies to the poll 🧐🧐🧐 Let's take this forward!
#Students? And #entrepreneurship? Is that even a good combination?

Especially when you read that the famous student entrepreneurs like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg are all dropouts!!!

Can students not only run a #business while studying but also be #successful at it?
Taking a different perspective at this is that while these billionaires are college dropouts, the #idea for the #business all came about when they were in #college! As a young #student, your ideas have a chance at being fresh and can be developed through stringent planning!

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether
