This is the point I was trying to make (ineloquently I might add) in regard to Greg Sargent's discussion with Ron Brownstein. All these Dem Consultant class folks refuse to understand that a lot of DSA adjacent policy might SEEM radical but actually is not.
In summary, for 40 years I have heard that liberal policies when explained properly enjoy wide popular support - its just that the focus groups and consultants all run away when tarred and feathered by those mean old Republicans who say "liberal" or "socialist" or "communist"
If team D for once would stand up on their principles and not cower before the GOP because they say mean words we might finally get somewhere in this country.

Furthermore, the old school GOP/anti-Trump folks who care so much about the deficit? How about taxing the billionaires as part of this radical policy (or better yet, get rid off all post W Bush tax cuts). By adding back those IRS cuts in the enforcement realm and bringing back the CTA adds to that.
Again, “anti wokeness” is just a labor story, people love to pretend it’s something else, they just don’t like it when black people are in elite spaces that they think are white collective property
🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴 After qualifying for the next round of the World Cup, the entire Norwegian squad sits on the field and starts rowing together with their fans in the stadium… simply wonderful 🤩🤩🤩
Still waiting for the first hero to stand up and say something to Trump as he berates and personally attacks another female reporter who asked a legitimate question. It will probably never happen because some things are more important than decency and courage. I guess.
During the financial crisis, Obama missed a crucial opening to start rebuilding the Great Society coalition that Democrats since Lyndon Johnson had abandoned.
And here's a longer segment, 8 minutes and 39 seconds of focused truth - Waj brought receipts. He named Wilson as a documented architect of pro-slavery theology, anti-democratic Christian nationalism, and cosplay militarism with real body counts. Each charge was a fact,

a guy who claimed to be named John Barron and sounded a lot like Trump called into C-SPAN to complain about the Supreme Court's tariff decision and call Hakeem Jeffries "a dope"
(John Barron is a pseudonym Trump has used for himself when talking to journalists)
"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.
Q: Pope Leo cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in scripture?
MIKE JOHNSON: Sovereign borders are biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.
Buttigieg on Fox News: "Seeing an American taken to the ground, having his gun removed, being shot in the back 10 times, then having the govt say he was a terrorist all along based on no evidence.. those are kinds of things that as painful as they are, can actually bring together a lot of Americans"
I just finished Hatemonger, which is a book on Miller from Trump 1. If you need any kind of instruction on what policies are actually driving Trump 2, thats the book. Side note, Miller's parents are also bad - i see lots of people on here saying SM was disavow by his family - direct family did not
This anecdote from Miles Taylor about Stephen Miller allegedly suggesting drone strikes on boats of migrants during Trump 1.0 seems relevant given the recent US lethal strike on a vessel in the Caribbean. www.treason.io/p/read-one-s...
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
⚡️Russia's top prosecutor, key figure in dissent crackdown, poised to become new Supreme Court head.
During his tenure, Igor Krasnov oversaw the arrest of late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny when he returned from Germany.
One thing that most people are missing in the group text scandal: The Trump officials don’t appear clear on what *exactly* Trump approved, which is a huge problem in using military force. Stephen Miller says “as I heard it … green light.” 😱😬 www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-short-...
In case you want some sweet news today.
