NEWS --> Anna Gomez, the lone Dem on the FCC, tells me the Trump admin's pressure to oust Jimmy Kimmel may be unlawful as well as unconstitutional. FCC chair Brendan Carr may be committing censorship in violation of federal law. That and much more in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2006...

Trump’s Ouster of Jimmy Kimmel Is Much Worse than You Think It Is
Anna Gomez, the FCC’s lone Democratic commissioner, tells TNR that her boss’ move violates both the First Amendment and the Communications Act. Democrats must extract consequences.

Just so everyone is clear, this right here is what an actual violation of the First Amendment looks like. When the head of the FCC says a company needs to do something about someone who displeased the administration or lose its license, that’s no joke unconstitutional

MSNBC host: Are you having a great time, Senator? Sen. Murphy: No. This sucks. We're debating a bill that's going to cut health care for 16 million people. This is the most deeply immoral piece of legislation that I've ever voted on in my entire time in Congress.

BIG: A new poll from NYT just confirmed this broad storyline, finding him underwater on immigration, with 51% of voters disapproving versus 47% approving. Large majorities in the NYT poll oppose the lawless specifics. Popularists should just admit they got this wrong already.

When people say that some concept is too complicated for voters to understand, I remember Stephen Sondheim's line about the "West Side Story" movie. He was told that it didn't have "hummable" songs. Then United Artists spent a ton of $ promoting it, the movie was a hit, and suddenly it was hummable.

Arguably not just after the election, but during election season as well. Community building matters all the time, and that includes during election season. The fact that Dems see mailing lists solely as a fund raising tool is such a waste.

I know this isn’t a perfect parallel, but I suddenly remembered when House Dems staged a sit-in on the floor in 2016 to demand a vote on gun safety. When the GOP shut off C-SPAN cameras, the Dems went live on social. More of this level of push-back now, please! www.npr.org/sections/the...

Almost 26 Hours Later, House Democrats End Gun Control Sit-In
Representatives stayed on the floor overnight, chanting and singing as they called for votes on gun control. They remained even after Republicans held an unrelated vote and adjourned the House.
