On Oct 3 2021, the writer of this article went after Biden who was visiting the graves of his children. Now she's claiming Biden, who buried 2 children & a wife, "uses" funerals for political utility. Annie Linskey remains a terrible person with no empathy for people who grieve.
I would note that the actual article by Linksey is more nuanced than the actual summary disseminated by the Washington Post on Twitter. As a newspaper of record, one would expect better. As for the journalist, most of us cannot forget this. He went to see the graves of his kids! Image
One wonders about journalists who are more interested in an angle & a story, than about the fact that death devastates us, grief mires us, & we have a president who understands that-- especially at a time of pandemic when death is a daily reminder.
I was raised by a father who was dead by the time I was 16. In 2018, 5 members of my family died in 2 months. Then my cat died. THAT's what sent me over the edge. Grief is a constituent part of my being, even if I manage it. I am so grateful for a president who understands grief.

Kevin McCarthy's hack speech on the House floor is lasting longer than some of my marriages.
LOL, McCarthy is comparing Biden's presidency to Carter's. Dude. Biden is the modern FDR.

- American Rescue Plan, BIF, & now BBB to be passed
- US econ added 531K jobs in Oct in rebound from Sept
- Unemployment from 6.3% in Jan to 4.6%
- 80% of jobs lost in pandemic recovered
McCarthy is giving the GOP greatest hits -- he's now crying about us being out of Afghanistan, as if Trump didn't sign the withdrawal agreement; there was also Green new Deal, the border, masks....This is why booze was made.

The CBO score shows that BBB will DECREASE the deficit. As well, leading rating agencies have said that BBB will not add to inflationary pressures. As such there is NO reason not to pass President Biden's BBB agenda.

Pass the bill and lets #BuildBackBetter !!
The only reasons one would have for NOT passing BBB are that you want President Biden's agenda to fail irrespective of how it HELPS America & you don't want to tax the rich.

ALWAYS Vote Democratic. The stakes are clear.

Don't fall for any sudden concern about debt & deficits by the GOP. Those fuckers passed the biggest tax scam bill-a vulgar transfer of wealth from working people to the scandalously-rich donor class without a thought to borrowed $. They just need to STFU.

We have a red alert suburban coalition crisis on our hards. As @danpfeiffer notes, without Trump on the ballot, Republicans are winning back Romney-Clinton voters faster than Democrats are winning back Obama-Trump voters or finding new voters. messagebox.substack.com/p/early-though…
We don't have a complacency problem. Turnout was high last night on both sides. Youngkin won because he convinced enough Biden and Northam voters to switch sides. Job 1 for Democrats must be getting these voters back without depressing the base.
As @danpfeiffer warns, there is no math that gives Democrats the House, Senate, or WH without winning these voters back AND holding our base intact. Furthermore, "this goal doesn’t rely on turnout or persuasion. It relies on both."

Via MSNBC:

Chesterfield County
Mc 55%, Young 44%
These numbers are in line with the Biden/Trump division of the vote share in 2020.

In Bath Co and Culpepper Co, which Trump won, Youngkin overperforming Trump's 2020 numbers.
Via MSNBC:

McAuliffe at 81.9 percent in Arlington, Youngkin is at 17.7; in Fairfax, Mc at 66.5, Y at 33.2.

In both cases, Mc running a little behind Biden's numbers in 2020.
Via MSNBC:

In Loudon, Mc at 54.6 and Y at 44.9; in Henrico, Mc at 52.6, Y at 46.4. Mc underperforming Biden 2020 numbers so far; Y exceeding Trump's numbers. Question is if Y can sustain this trend.

More vote to come in so we'll see.

Focus on your "climate shadow" as we fight the #ClimateCrisis. It's about how you vote, how many kids you choose to have, where you work, how you invest your $, how much you talk about climate change, & whether your words amplify urgency, apathy, or denial mic.com/impact/forget-…
#ClimateAction cannot simply be understood through the prism of low-impact & easy to quantify actions like recycling or if you fly a lot. How one expends attention is VITAL. How many hours a day are you or I devoting to #ClimateAction ?
By promotion the carbon footprint & small "feel good" activities as the most important things for concerned citizens to focus on, the fossil fuel industry ensured that we would not put our energy towards what TRULY matters: COLLECTIVE ACTION & ACTIVISM.

Manchin is going to kill the clean electricity program to rapidly replace the nation’s coal & gas-fired power plants with wind, solar & nuclear energy from Biden's BBB....& along with it, us as well. #ClimateEmergency

Unforgivable.
nytimes.com/2021/10/15/cli…
In my view, there is simply nothing more important in Biden's BBB than aggressive his #ClimateAction programs. Nothing. All I feel right now is loathing for these obstructionists. Pure loathing.

Manchin is all about his dirty fossil fuels and his dirty fossil fuel money. I understand this is what we get with a W. Va. Dem... but I am entitled to my rage. And rage and loathing are what I feel right now.
