EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW THAT THE REPUBLICANS DESIGNED THEIR HEALTHCARE CUTS TO TAKE AFFECT STARTING IN 2027 BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO CREATE A PROBLEM TO BLAME DEMOCRATS FOR! THEY KNEW THEY WOULD LOSE, SO THEY MADE YOUR LIFE MORE EXPENSIVE TO GIVE THEMSELVES A TALKING POINT!

Guys, guys, I just called my Dem Congressman's office to tell him I don't want Jeffries as speaker and before I was even done with my preamble, the staffer said, let me guess what you're going to say...he said he's been hearing it all day and then he asked me what I'd like to see Democrats do and had a 10 minute conversation with me. He even asked me to repeat some items from my laundry list so he could write it down.
I also called my Senator. Who has also been getting calls about new leadership.
Call your reps!

Wow, I just found out that Amazon has selected my upcoming book, The Land of Tears and Hope, as one of its Editors' Picks for the Best History Books of November!
“A transporting and meditative read on Ukraine—this emotional narrative adds heft to the headlines,” writes Amazon editor Lindsay Powers.
And thanks to your preorders, the book hasn't even been released yet, but it's already #20 in Amazon's History of Ukraine category. Thank you so much for this.
Less than a week to go until the book is out on all major platforms!

A Stanford dean has spent 20 years doing what the YouTube algorithm won't do for you which is hand-picking the best free lectures on the internet and putting them on one page for free.
His name is Dan Colman.
He runs Stanford's Continuing Studies program. In 2006, the year he came back to Stanford, he started a site of his own called Open Culture.
Brilliant lectures were already free online, but they were scattered across YouTube, iTunes and university websites. So he started pulling the good ones into one list.
Here's what the site has now:
> 1,700 free courses from schools like Stanford, Yale, MIT, Oxford and Harvard
> About 50,000 hours of lectures, by the site's own rough count
> 4,000+ free movies
> 1,000 free audiobooks
> Free lessons in 48 languages
You can open Richard Feynman's 1964 lectures at Cornell or Robert Sapolsky's Stanford course on human behavior without paying a cent.
Open Culture asks you for nothing. No account, no trial. Click a YouTube lecture and it starts playing.
There is one catch. Some courses send you to Coursera, edX or FutureLearn, where you have to choose the free version when you enroll. Certificates cost money, and Open Culture earns a commission on those.
A recommendation feed only cares whether you keep scrolling. I'd rather get my watch list from a guy who's been building his by hand since 2006.
Which free course changed the way you think?

Democrats must be absolutely ruthless now.
No “healing the nation”. No “moving on”, no “reconciliation”, no “bridging the gaps”. No “if they go low, we go high”. No Obamism.
Subpoena, impeach, prosecute, imprison. Trumpism is criminal & should be treated as such.

We want both. Congress can walk and chew gum at the same time.
“🇺🇸 people don't want us to get even, they want us to get things done…”
Who’s gonna tell @RepJeffries holding crooks accountable isn’t about “getting even”, it’s about preserving our democracy?
Is this what he talked about with Kushner?
@TheDemocrats don’t blow this
If we want real accountability & to make sure MAGA never happens again, we might have to make some calls to Congress. They're talking about turning the page, and we need to make it clear that's not good enough.

Don't forget who stood by us and helped us through these horrible times. We had allies from many countries, but especially Canada. Canadians continuously supported us through all of this. Thank you 💙🇨🇦
America: You have not.
Over the last two years, Senate Republicans have put up a strong record of accomplishment that’s created safer streets, more money in Americans’ pockets, and new opportunities for families and businesses to get ahead. After fighting Democrat obstruction at every turn, we prevented the largest tax hike in American history, secured our border in an unprecedented way, confirmed the president’s Cabinet at the fastest pace in two decades, and put strong conservative judges on benches across the country faster than we have since the Reagan administration. I’m proud of our team and everything we’ve done for the American people, and I’m looking forward to the important work we have in front of us over the next few months. As we head into 2027, Senate Republicans will not stand idly by as the far-left, socialist wing of the Democrat Party attempts to unwind everything we’ve done. Thankfully, we still have President Trump in the White House, and we’ll work with him to stop the worst impulses of Democrat extremism. We cannot let their fringe positions become the mainstream.
