No hell hot enough for this monstrous administration. If Dems get Congress, there has to be multiple impeachments and convictions. We can’t simply move on from this. We can’t.

And I cannot stress enough how important quick, easy, immediate wins will be for any next Dem administration. And the ability to come out and say, in week one, ‘Here is how much money we just saved you by eliminating XYZ in worthless shit Republicans did to steal your money’ is borderline priceless.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

There's a takeover of the American news industry going on, pushed by Elon Musk, the Ellisons, the Saudis and others. Democracy is impossible if the truth is buried under right-wing propaganda, so we've got to push back against this "media capture." My Stop the Presses newsletter.

Because half of US adults are idiots who think something must be a big issue if they hear enough about it. And they keep hearing about it - which is different from actually understanding why they’re hearing about it ad nauseum, and they dont read - only because the right uses it as bait.
