One month out from Election Day and Trump is campaigning in deep red territory he should never have to worry about, Ken Paxton is admitting Trump's convention hurt Republicans, and Democrats are surging in Texas, Florida, South Carolina and Kansas. The momentum is real. Let's keep it going! 👏

I find simple heirloom hand tools to be great connectors with previous generations. I have a a pair of channel lock pliers that my grandfather used. Whenever I use them I remember him and his basement workshop. I’m guessing they’re close to 100 years old.

Historian Tim Snyder compares what Trump is doing in Latin America to Soviet tactics in Eastern Europe after WWII: rig elections, apply threats, install the leadership you want. His description of Trump’s approach: “smash and grab.”

I said this in a NY Times story last week about the WA millionaire tax, but let’s bring back shame. Even if billionaires don’t know it’s wrong to do shit like this, they should know it’s embarrassing.

The state’s ultrawealthy, including Larry Page and Peter Thiel, have similarly donated to efforts opposing the wealth tax.
