Despite historically low approval ratings, 1/3 of the country still supports Trump. Republicans get reporting from their "news" sources that hides the truth. We need people with smarts & resources to create honest news sources that appeal to Republican voters.

Anne Applebaum's 2024 book, Autocracy Inc., reveals how anti-democratic countries like China, Russia, etc are undermining democracy throughout the world. She concludes with recommendations about what democratic countries can do to defend democracy. At 176 pages, an interesting and valuable read.

Many Republicans in Congress refuse to hold Donald Trump accountable out of fear that he’ll make them lose their next primary election. An election reform called Final Five Voting would change that dynamic. Learn more here: gregfalk.substack.com/p/final-five....

Another day, another delay from Speaker Johnson. Southern Arizona deserves a voice in Congress now, not just once it’s politically convenient for the House GOP. Administer the oath to Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva now.

Andersen, Evil Geniuses: In 1965 top CEO pay was 20 times that of average employees. By 2003 it was 219 times as much. John Bogle, founder of Vanguard Investments, thought this meant that CEOs controlled their boards of directors, hurting small investors and workers. Democrats need to fix this.

Hochschild: "Although life expectancy for nearly every other group rose, between 1990 and 2008 the life expectancy of older white men without high school diplomas was shortened by three years." These people are hurting. Democrats need to help them.

Democrat Adelita Grijalva won the by-election of southern Arizona. Once sworn in, the Democrats will have 214 seats to the GOP’s 219. She will be the 218th signature on Massie's bipartisan petition demanding a House vote to release all unclassified Epstein’s files. #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

Trump has been the worst president ever for farmers. Twice. But they voted for him three times. Now they want the rest of America to give them welfare. When they did it to themselves. But they don’t like socialism.

Someone recently said that Epstein's estate probably has a trove of videos and documents that are the Epstein files and that the estate, which released the birthday book, might well release the other files. Would someone please ask the Epstein estate to release the Epstein files?

Bill Cassidy behaved today as he should have behaved during RFK Jr.’s confirmation. The problem is that now he can’t unring the bell. His actions in confirming Kennedy and convincing others to do so has already caused irreparable damage to science and public health in the United States.

The best thing Kimmel could do right now is do what the Right does when it is deplatformed: replatform yourself on another service, go live, and dunk on the administration harder than ABC would ever have allowed him to. Go full South Park on them. Do an hour on Patel lying under oath about Epstein.

America and Americans are too strong to be cowed by Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Their assaults on decency and on our system of government "by the people and for the people" will not stand. These are dark days. We must do what we can to make tomorrow a brighter day.

OK, here's a blatantly liberal idea. People who do harmful things are often people in pain. Once we've intervened to stop the harmful behavior, the next step is to understand the perpetrator's pain and help them find a way to end it. This works in relationships and it will work in politics.

“They’re taking our jobs” was always a lie. Alabama proved it. Alabama tried a “tough” immigration law, and it backfired hard. Immigrants fled, crops rotted, and farms collapsed. Americans tried to step in but couldn’t last a day. They’re not taking your jobs; they’re doing the jobs you won’t do.
