This contentious interchange between the NY Times and @GinaHinojosaTX was truly amazing. Hinojosa offered one of the best explanations of populism I've ever seen. Her comments were a total rejection of Corporate Dems' neoliberal formula. Her Texas victory is a game changer.

It's a good day to be a Texan.

Happy Election Day to all, but especially to you, Texas. Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.

I’m tired of being divided into teams. Do you want a safe neighborhood? Do you want a good job with good benefits? Do you want a high quality, well funded public school? So do I. We’re far more the same than we are different. As one team, we’re unstoppable.

“I think MOBY-DICK’s probably the best novel I ever read. I’ve read it half a dozen times and you can never open it up, even casually, and just let your eye drift across the page that you don’t find something that’s absolutely remarkable.”—Cormac McCarthy

Next week, billionaire donors and their puppet politicians will gather at a convention in Dallas to toast their own corruption. In the shadow of this Billionaire Ball, we’ll be collecting food to help Texans struggling with rising grocery prices. JOIN: bit.ly/GroceryDriveTX

Timothy Olyphant on being a distant relative of the Vanderbilt family: "My grandmother’s childhood home is now the Russian Embassy in New York, and my childhood home is on Norwegian Avenue in Modesto. So somewhere, someone’s responsible for fucking things up for me."

I had the honor of sitting down with Opal Lee — the Texas legend who walked from Fort Worth to DC to make Juneteenth a federal holiday. At 99 years old, she told me: "I’m gonna keep on walking to show some youngsters how it’s done.” Thank you, Opal. We're walking with you. 💙
