This one was fun to record, and we were so grateful that @angela3030.bsky.social joined us to talk about the fight for accountability in Douglas County after the Republican commissioners down there got walloped for trying to push the dumbest power grab in state history past the voters.

This is exactly why people are sick of politics—the attacks, the distractions, the noise. That’s not why I served, and it’s not why I’m running. I spent 34 years in the U.S. Navy serving this country. To me, service means putting people first and making sure they’re heard — not tearing others down.

@getmoresmarter.com thank you for mentioning the resounding defeat of home rule in Douglas Co. Just wish you had said my name, Angela Thomas, as the top vote getter in the At large race leaving the three DougCo Commissioners in 4, 5, and 6th place. No Little Kings and Stop the Power Grab did amazing

"The 9 p.m. tally from the clerk’s office showed the measure getting walloped, with 71% of voters saying no and 29% saying yes. More than 63,000 votes had been counted against Question 1A, while more than 25,000 were marked in favor — a more than 2-to-1 ratio." lmao

Don't ask us to explain this any further, but the failed DougCo Home Rule campaign is the failed Andrew Cuomo for Mayor Campaign of Colorado.

If this measure were truly about local control it would have been handled in a different manner. Local control would have been discussed openly, town halls would have been conducted, community surveys would have been allowed, public comment would have allowed. Link in the comments.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Everyone in that signal chat should be removed from their position. No one was smart enough to see that there was someone in the chat who wasn’t saying anything. No one bothered to say, wait a minute, who is JG. Complete incompetence.

Rep. Suozzi: 26% of the federal workforce are veterans—26%. What about their service to this country? We encouraged them to apply for these jobs, and now we’re just taking away their livelihoods? It’s not just chaotic, it’s not just cruel—it’s unconstitutional.

President George W Bush quote, more salient than ever. “We need an independent media to hold people like me to account,power can be very addictive, and it can be corrosive. And it’s important for the media to call to account people who abuse their power, whether it be here or elsewhere.”

Jeffries: And don't come to the house floor and act like this was being done in the fiscal responsibility. Enough. There is nothing in the Republican track record to suggest to the American people that you are the party of fiscal responsibility. Absolutely nothing.

It is beyond comprehension that the same people who want to criminalize poverty and visible homelessness in the United States are the same ones who want to destroy Medicaid, Medicare, and social security. What happens to poor people? They go to jail? For being poor?
