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"

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

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.

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, youtu.be/pER8JMM9Plc?...

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.

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...

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. I’m volunteering at the book fair at my kid’s school, and discovered Dav Pilkey paid for the whole thing. For the entire school. Every kid pre-k through fifth grade (the whole school) goes home with two free books.

You are up to date.
