. @danpfeiffer.bsky.social gave me the best political advice anyone ever has. Obama won because he was prepared to lose. You have to stand for something. Zohran stood for his values and something new, and he inspired many!

Rep. Thomas Massie may have risked his political career but our WPR & thousands of anti-war voices on both the right & left are making a difference.
Wars are easy to start, but hard to stop. Citizens have had enough & are working to stop this.
This week Trump bombs Iran & keeps a 10 year ban on state AI regulation in the Senate bill. So much for being the party of the working class.
"Support for AI. This provision provides federal aid to states under the condition that states agree not to regulate AI (Section 0012)"
The problem with these strikes is more than just their unconstitutionality.
The problem is these strikes escalate us further into war and conflict in the Middle East.
On @facethenation.bsky.social with Rep. Massie, I asked what have we achieved? The strikes put our troops at risk & create a generation of hate. Can this country learn? We keep voting for a president who says we’re not going to war & then they get pushed into war by the Beltway.
This is a defining moment for the Democratic party. We need to stand against war with Iran. I am sending a Dear Colleague letter tonight asking every House member to sponsor my & Rep. Thomas Massie WPR to stop this war.
Trump struck Iran without any authorization of Congress.
We need to immediately return to DC and vote on Rep. Thomas Masie and my War Powers Resolution to prevent America from being dragged into another endless Middle East war.
It is in America's national security interest for Iran not to have a bomb.
I explained to Wolf Blitzer that the way to achieve this is to support Trump's diplomacy as opposed to striking Iran.
That would explode our deficits & put all Americans, especially our troops, at more risk.
On @chrislhayes.bsky.social, I called on @schumer.senate.gov to support @kaine.senate.gov, @sanders.senate.gov, Rep. Massie & my resolution opposing a war in Iran. This is a defining moment for our party where too many blundered in supporting the Iraq war.
Now we need to be clear — no war in Iran.
What in the world does this mean @schumer.senate.gov? "I believe Congress and Senate Democrats, if necessary, will not hesitate to exercise our authority." This is why your numbers are toxic with our base. They want us to be the anti-war party again
Democratic platform should be:
Peace abroad, good jobs at home.
Our failure to grab the anti war mantle and feckless comments by some leaders is exactly what's wrong with the party. Maybe if you're an elected who cheerled for the Iraq war, it's time for you to retire!
Ted Cruz admits that the US is helping Israel attack Iran. This is why we need to pass Rep. Thomas Massie's and my War Powers Resolution now.
No war in Iran.
It's time for every member to go on record.
Are you with the neocons who led us into Iraq or do you stand with the American people?
I am proud to co-lead a bipartisan War Powers Resolution with Rep. Massie that is privileged and must receive a vote.
It was great meeting with leaders and presidents from the teamsters, and an honor to be the keynote speaker at the Joint Council 7 Conference. CA needs to pass legislation to require truck drivers on autonomous vehicles for safety. We need moonshot investment in our industrial base with union jobs.
I’m horrified by the murder of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. This is a tragedy for Minnesota and our nation. Praying for Senator John Hoffman and his wife’s recovery. Political violence has no place in America.
Thank you, @laurenfeiner.bsky.social, for the thoughtful conversation.
A 10 year ban on state AI laws will have devastating consequences for workers, consumers, and kids. The consequence of AI on jobs is not getting enough attention in our politics. I make the case against the ban in this interview with the Verge.

Good points. Here’s why I voted to subpoena Musk this week:
open.substack.com/pub/rokhanna...
So Trump should have no problem helping pass my and Summer Lee's bill to ban all Super PACs. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...
Reposted byRo Khanna
I think Musk is married to the Mob @rokhanna.bsky.social and will either have to take the cannoli or sleep with the fishes. That said, he could do a lot damage since Trump cannot distance himself far enough from a blast zone if Musk decides to tweak the X algo and go to the mattresses.
Both JD Vance "it’s not going to be good" for Elon Musk if he doesn't crawl back & Donald Trump himself warning of "very serious consequences" are threatening Musk.
@karaswisher.bsky.social, how do you think it works out?
