Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.

Unfortunately it looks like it won't be possible to stop Trump from building his ridiculous arch. Which is why it's all the more important that as soon as Democrats take power, they crush that sucker into dust. My latest at MS NOW: www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

Trump won the battle over his awful arch. The next Democratic president can win the war.
There is no better way to reverse the lawlessness of the Trump era that than to remove the monuments he has erected to himself.

“You said the 2020 election was rigged by either Venezuela or China. When you called that fella in Georgia pleading for 11,780 votes, was that part of the rigging, or part of the 6-year investigation? Just one more thing, sir, who was president while all this rigging took place?”

Since we can’t ever expect Mike Johnson to do the right thing, we’re forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits. And we only need four more members to sign the petition to make it happen. Help us move the needle!

✅ Ranked choice voting can only help the D prez primary. The current system is not what we need in a time of constitutional turmoil. Fresh voices & faces have opportunity to rise w/better voter input. 🧾 This one weird trick can fix the 2028 Democratic primary: www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
Party leaders are beginning to explore whether ranked choice voting could make the 2028 primary fairer, less divisive, and better at producing a nominee who reflects the full breadth of the Democratic coalition. It’s a quiet development, but a potentially transformative one, and Axios reports that senior Democratic National Committee officials have met with reform advocates to discuss making it real.
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/11/24/2355345/-This-one-weird-trick-can-fix-the-2028-Democratic-primaryRanked choice voting is simple at its core. Instead of marking only a single candidate on their ballot, voters rank the candidates in order of preference—first choice, second choice, third choice, and so on. If someone wins a majority of first-choice votes outright, the election is over. If nobody wins a majority, the last-place candidate is eliminated, and voters who ranked that candidate first have their second-choice votes counted. The process continues until one candidate grabs a majority of the vote.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"
