Get 53 Senate seats and we can get it in the next reconciliation.
500 billion in climate stuff, universal preK, child tax credit, increased pell grants, elder care, and Medicare expansion is still in the bill, folks.
Lawyers on this bird app will vouch, particularly @ECochnar who does this for a living - a good deal leaves everyone disappointed.

Well, the poll had its intended effect. Donations are flowing into @TerryMcAuliffe's coffers and I just signed up to phonebank this weekend.
@TerryMcAuliffe I'm $50 poorer now
@TerryMcAuliffe I pride myself on not flipping out on every poll but I usually trust the Fox ones. So this was me panicking. Sorry folks.

Elizabeth Prelogar (Emory 02, Harvard Law 05) has been confirmed as the latest U.S. Solicitor General, colloquially known as the "Tenth Justice" due to their outsize role in SCOTUS litigation. It is one of the most powerful positions in the federal government. Image
The U.S. S.G. is behind the Associate AG (@vanitaguptaCR) but holds a ton of power because they argue the government's position before the Supreme Court. In certain cases, the Court will issue a "CALL FOR THE VIEW OF THE S.G." on whether a case should be granted cert.
@vanitaguptaCR The S.G. is a significant appointment because it argues the biggest cases in front of the Supreme Court. You may remember Obama's S.G. Don Verrilli arguing the ACA cases in 2012. The morons in the press said it was a disaster.

We ultimately prevailed.

I know a lot of you feel like racism against Asian Americans doesn't exist despite the year of murders, assaults, and targeting in the wake of COVID, but under no circumstances is it ok for anyone, including an Asian person to drop the term "slanty eyes," in casual conversation.
There is no historical tradition of Asians reclaiming racial slurs like there are in the Black and Latino communities.

We did not reclaim "chink," "gook," "zipperhead," "coolie," "Jap," "oriental," or "celestial." Therefore, anyone using these terms is just being racist.
I, an Asian man, would not even go up to my relatives and address them as "my gooks" because that's fucking racist and weird. There is no cultural attache there. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar.

Are you people already freaking out over the California map? It's just the first shot. Chill out.

Josh Harder isn't going anywhere. The point of the map was to freak out Devin Nunes and Darrell Issa, who are seriously jeopardized. Much more to come.
Besides, I canvassed for @RepJoshHarder and secured an endorsement for him in 2018. He can win a Trump +1 easily.

He'll get the entire Bay Area to mobilize to Stanislaus County with one call to action.
@RepJoshHarder Early estimate:

CA-21, CA-22 and CA-23 consolidate into two, one blue and one deep red. I think Valadao will get flipped out of office. Devin Nunes or Kevin McCarthy will go against each other.

CA-25 absorbed into LA.

CA-39, CA-48, and CA-50 made bluer, flip in 2022.

@CriticalThotPhD and everyone else has been enjoying #SquidGames. I am a huge fan of Korean thriller cinema (not so much the television dramas but I think that's about to change.) So here's a primer on some essential viewing if you're Korean curious:

Oldboy (2003)
@CriticalThotPhD I Saw the Devil (2010)
@CriticalThotPhD Memories of Murder (2003)
