So Palantir isn’t partnering with hospitals to undermine nurses clinical judgement, understaff facilities, and analyze patient data? 🤔
Nurses to Alex Karp: We've seen how your technology is being used in our hospitals and in the genocide in Gaza, and we call BS.

Under Netanyahu, isn't it legal to kill people froform throwing stones, or even thinking about throwing stones?
Dozens of settler terrorists are throwing stones in the West Bank village of Atara, leaving one person with a severe brain hemorrhage.
Just a few days ago, the IDF killed a 14-year-old boy near Burqa because, according to the military, he “intended to throw stones at a highway used by Israeli vehicles.”

This blue wave was union-made. Working people sent this new majority to Congress to unrig the economy. As @Labor_Caucus co-chair @RepDebDingell put it, that starts with raising wages and making it easier for every worker to join a union.

SENATOR SCOTT COLOM (Mississippi)-D. In honor of all those who lost their lives in Freedom Summer. For Medgar Evers. For Fannie Lou Hammer. For our ancestors. There’s Blood on that Ballot Box.

The combination of the mass erroneous purge, forcing voters to cast affidavits, & mass rejection of affidavits per strict rules, is such an indictment of voter suppression in Mississippi.

Neera: Meet the “normie Dems”
84% of Democrats want Medicare for All
85% of Democrats want to expand Social Security
89% of Democrats want a $20/hr minimum wage
74% of Democrats want to end military aid to Israel
67% of Democrats want a data center moratorium
No more excuses.

Scott Colom’s lead in Mississippi just grew to more than 3k+ votes following a small new ballot drop. The remaining vote from heavily Democratic Hinds County is expected today, likely putting this race in position to be called.

I can’t believe a Democrat is already exposing his own party like this
Don Leonard, the Democrat who just won Ohio’s 15th District, says senior House Democrats warned him what happens if he won’t back Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker:
“Making my life a living heII for the next two years here in Washington as well as being sure to lose my election”
He says they “expect you to wear the team jersey” and “be a good team player”
They don’t want representatives, they want obedience

A: the republicans are simply better at politics asks vote counting
B: Democratic leadership didn’t want to impeach a war criminal and thus didn’t take necessary steps
Either one is damming

El-Sayed: What you call it is secondary. What it does in your life is the whole point. None of us ran to name things except for Donald Trump. Most of us ran to actually solve problems in people's lives
Collins: You need Trump’s signature, but to get it passed, you need Democrats to lead on that. Do you think that your party can lead on that?
El-Sayed: I bet if the president came out and said, you know, “I’m gonna sign this if you call it Trumpcare for All,” I think—we might be able to do it.
I’ve been working on this question for my entire career.
But I do think that this is a moment right now where the public really is demanding some real answers to their problems. We saw that in an electoral outcome. And what better way to answer the mandate that the American public gave Democrats than to say, “Hey, look, we can finally, once and for all, solve the challenge of American health care in this country. We can undo medical debt. We can address the challenges that people have so often when it comes to just simply getting sick and being able to see a doctor.”

@RepJeffries is bullying people to vote for him, but couldn’t be bothered to round up votes to impeach a war criminal

Working people showed up. Now Congress must deliver.
NNU talked to thousands of voters, and the message was clear: Working people over billionaires. Democrats will control the House and Senate. We demand action on DAY ONE. We have no time to waste.

Randomly still think about how in 1978 Bernie's local paper went around asking people their New Year’s resolutions and everyone’s was like ‘I want to quit smoking’ and ‘finish high school,’ and Bernie was 'I want to make people wake up to the radical change needed in society.'

Massie: "I hope [Hegseth] addresses the eight articles and doesn't get up and misquote the Bible in Quentin Tarantino-fashion, do some pull ups, and call everybody fat and gay for being for this impeachment — I might have just given you half his speech."

POWER BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE! ✊ Union nurses joined allies nationwide today for #MedicareForAll, good union jobs, and safe, vibrant communities.
RNs will fight to make our voices heard and that our demands are met!

Lorenzo Salgado was murdered by ICE 4 months ago today.
Texans have been adding their “I voted” stickers to his memorial in Houston.
I just added mine.

Annie Andrews is explicitly condemning the starvation of Gaza. Turek, Hamilton, and Talarico support an arms embargo on Israel. Abdul is, well, Abdul. Scott Colom in deep red Mississippi is boasting about not taking a dime from AIPAC. Troy Jackson called it a genocide. A wine mom in Tennessee ran on Medicare for all and ending the genocide in Gaza and won in a Trump +24 district. The era of Democrats being blindly pro Israel is OVER. The average Democrat thinks Israel is as bad as Russia.

Fascinating organizing tactic by the @scott_colom field campaign to stop knocking doors and start organizing workers who weren't being reached through traditional methods
Kinda reminds me of Bernie with the meatpackers in Iowa
