Levin: Two years ago, after Trump was elected the 2nd time, there was conventional wisdom around the country, within Washington, D.C., and the elite circles who said that the smart move was to capitulate. But that’s not what happened because millions of people around the country refused to give in.

Levin: People then said, “Do you think you can take out a fascist just by voting, just by organizing? You think that’s how this works?” Yes, that’s how this works. If they can do it in Hungary, we can do it here.

De Niro: The Trump administration knows that their policies are unpopular. They’re not stupid. Well, okay. They are very fucking stupid. I mean, really stupid. They’re stupider than I ever thought. But they recognize what they’re doing is turning away people.

Katie Phang on Blanche: What are you trying to hide? Who are you protecting? This is the permissive culture that is created, that is then buttressed by conduct by people like the AG to protect perpetrators, co-conspirators, enablers of crimes. Crimes against children, crimes against women.

Wolfers: Wage growth has just been falling month after month after month now... So the purchasing power, the amount of stuff that a typical American worker can afford is actually going backwards. This is not how it’s meant to be. Full analysis: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Oops! Trump Amplified Account That Called Him a Pedophile.

GOP Sen. Thom Tillis privately tore into Trump in texts obtained by Politico:

Graphic featuring Donald Trump on the left and Republican Sen. Thom Tillis on the right, with two large iMessage-style text bubbles attributed to Tillis overlaid across the bottom. In the first message, Tillis tells Trump that Trump “NEVER” threatened him with a primary challenge, says Trump may have him confused with other Republicans he has threatened, and adds that if Trump had threatened him directly, he would have told him to “fck yourself” and immediately announced his retirement. He ends, “Save those threats and head games for cowards and fools.” In the second message, Tillis writes, “I still want to help but I don’t take this bullsht from anyone, including you Mr. President,” adding, “Save that sh*t for the cowards who don’t care if you fail. I care if you fail and right now we are failing.”
