Many political pros who spent a decade calling Bernie Sanders’ positions “unelectable” are changing their minds. Former MSNBC anchor Joy Reid said as much on this show. Losing is not the same as being wrong, and Bernie’s campaign manager @faiz.bsky.socialhas had six years to sit with the difference.

Are they the party of billionaires or the people? Bestselling "The Nerd Reich" author @gilduran.com, who worked for Jerry Brown, Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris, believes a fight inside the party is needed to "clean out the rot" of failed consultants and figureheads clinging to power.

Forget the exposés. Read their own business advice. Billionaire Peter Thiel’s book on how to build a startup says to build it like a cult. His crew has been called the PayPal Mafia for almost twenty years, and he is cheerfully known as its Godfather. Cult or mafia, he wrote — pick one.

Crypto companies are the largest donors in American politics. Very few Americans use crypto at all. Journalist @gilduran.com calls it a gun to the head of American democracy. If a politician goes against them, tens of millions of dollars land on their head.
