"Trump's plan would cut the GDP by 8.9 percent. Let me put that in perspective for you: This is roughly twice the amount the GDP went down during the financial crisis. So we would be looking at something between a recession and a depression." @SteveRattner on.msnbc.com/3UjW4Mo

Virginia, you need to get out and vote.
Wow. On the eve of Election Day in Virginia, Glenn Youngkin just promised he will “deliver” an abortion ban if Republicans take full control: “I just wanted to make sure people understand what we would deliver. All [Republicans] have agreed” to “progress” an abortion ban

House Democrats passed an assault weapons ban last year, but it was blocked by NRA lobbyists and gun-fanatic MAGA Republicans in the Senate. Retweet this so voters never forget that.

Two republican senators have introduced legislation to eliminate Medicare's new authority to negotiate Rx prices. This is what you have to look forward to if voters give republicans control of the Senate.

Having some thoughts about AI generated art. 1. playing with DALL-E or midjourney is undeniably fun 2. AI will decimate some art professions, storyboard artists will suffer first and most 3. Those in favor say it will be a tool for artists to streamline their process…

As an illustration of just how undemocratic the Senate is, the 57 Senators voting to convict represents nearly 70% of Americans. Yet, Senators representing just over 30% got their way. smh

The damage isn’t just Trump’s direct efforts to overturn the election. It’s that we’ve desperately needed federal leadership, coordination, and funding to accelerate the vaccine rollout, and instead, the President and his enablers are spending their time yelling at Georgia’s SoS.

David Perdue opposes $1200 relief checks for Georgians. Let’s make sure every Georgia voter hears the Senator’s message loud and clear.

Alright New Yorkers — and those who love NY — let's make this go viral.
NY has given $116 billion more to the federal government than we received since 2015. Kentucky *took* $148 billion more from the federal government than it gave. Just give NY our money back, Senator McConnell.

"Many of my classmates had graduated and gone on to start jobs at banks just like this one. Our degrees were the same but my choice to pursue life as an artist had left me smiling tepidly as they brushed by me on their way to their offices." - @caitforit mailchi.mp/desklunchnewslett…
