Unless we find out that Hakeem Jeffries was telling Jared Kushner to prepare for subpoenas once Democrats take control of the House, this is a deep betrayal. I hope him becoming speaker is not a foregone conclusion and that major concessions are demanded by the progressive caucus.

Not that many of us ever talk to MAGA anymore, but if you do, and they bring up #socialism, maybe some of this will help your discussion:
Delayed flight. Gate C14. And God himself decided to entertain me by placing two men directly behind me solving America's $39 trillion debt problem between bites of a $22 airport sandwich.
Guy #1 turns to his friend:
"If capitalism is so great, why are we $39 TRILLION in debt?"
Guy #2, without missing a beat:
"Because of socialist programs, obviously."
I closed my laptop. I needed a moment.
Because let's actually look at where the $39 trillion came from. Not feelings. Not talking points. Numbers.
💣 THE IRAQ & AFGHANISTAN WARS: $8 TRILLION
No WMDs found. No democracy built. Two countries left in chaos. That's not socialism. That's bipartisan warmongering with a Lockheed Martin logo on it.
💣 THE 2008 BANK BAILOUT: $700 BILLION (+ $12 TRILLION in Fed support)
Wall Street gambled with your mortgage, crashed the global economy, then got handed a check with YOUR name on it. The banks kept their bonuses. You kept your debt. That's not socialism for the poor — that's socialism for the rich.
💣 THE 2017 TAX CUTS: $1.9 TRILLION added to the debt
Sold as a gift to the middle class. Apple alone saved $47 billion. Your check? Maybe $40 a month. The debt? $1.9 trillion heavier.💣 THE US HEALTHCARE SYSTEM: $4.5 TRILLION per year
America spends MORE per person than any country on Earth — and gets LESS. A hip replacement in Spain? €6,000. In the US? $40,000. Medical bills are the #1 cause of personal bankruptcy in America. That's not too much socialism. That's the cost of having none.
💣 PENTAGON BUDGET: $886 BILLION in 2024 alone
Larger than the next 10 countries COMBINED. Meanwhile your bridge is crumbling and your kid's school has a GoFundMe for pencils.
Now. Let's talk about socialism "failing."
🇲🇽 MEXICO — right next door. Nobody's paying attention.
Claudia Sheinbaum became president in 2024. She has a PhD in climate science. An actual scientist running a country. Not a TV personality. Not a failed businessman. A scientist.
She expanded universal pensions, free internet nationwide, and scholarships for millions of young Mexicans. Foreign investment is flooding in. Nearshoring is making Mexico one of the hottest manufacturing destinations on Earth.
And she's navigating Trump's tariffs and border provocations with more dignity than any US politician has managed in years. She doesn't tweet at 3am.
Must be infuriating for some people. 😊
🇧🇷 BRAZIL — and this story needs to be told.
Lula was a factory worker. A union leader. A man who lost a finger in a machine press and turned his pain into a political movement. He was imprisoned on charges later thrown out by Brazil's Supreme Court — many believe to keep him from power.
He came back. Won the election. Returned to the presidency at 77.Under Lula:
• Bolsa Família restored — lifting millions out of extreme poverty
• Minimum wage raised above inflation for the first time in years
• Amazon deforestation dropped 50% in his first year back
A man who came from nothing, survived prison, and came back to feed the poor and protect the rainforest.
That's not a communist villain. That's a story Hollywood would make a movie about — if he were American and right-wing.
🇨🇳 CHINA — and this one will really hurt.
Nominally communist. And yet:
• 45,000 km of high-speed rail. The US has zero.
• 5 million engineers graduated per year. The US graduates 200,000.
• BYD just outsold Tesla worldwide.
• 800 million people lifted out of poverty in 40 years — the greatest anti-poverty achievement in human history.
Someone forgot to tell the second largest economy on Earth that socialism always fails.
While America spent $8 trillion blowing up the Middle East, China was building infrastructure, educating engineers, and buying up the debt America kept creating.
Who's actually winning here?
And yes — Venezuela. We know.
A corrupt petro-dictatorship that printed money, destroyed private institutions, and was strangled by US sanctions. Not a social democracy. Not what any serious economist proposes. Comparing Venezuela to these countries is like comparing a gas station hot dog to a Michelin star restaurant and concluding that food is dangerous.Here's what those two guys at Gate C14 — and half of Facebook — can't grasp:
America doesn't have too much socialism.
America has socialism for the wrong people.
Subsidies for oil companies that made $200 billion in profit? Socialism.
Bailouts for banks that gambled and lost? Socialism.
Tax breaks for private jets and yachts? Socialism.
Free school lunch for a hungry 7-year-old? Suddenly that's communism.
The $39 trillion wasn't built by teachers, nurses, food stamps, or public libraries.
It was built by wars nobody wanted, tax cuts nobody needed, bailouts for people who needed them least, and a healthcare racket that would make the mafia blush.
But sure. Blame the socialism.

The Supreme Court must be reformed or dismantled at this point. It's a rogue body filled with 6 right wing extremists who want to replace democracy with a white Christian King. If a politician doesn't support Court reform then they arent the leaders for this moment. Step aside.

The Democratic Party needs to realize that the reason the left is ascendant right now is the ineptitude and fecklessness of the party over the past 40 years. Even Obama, who promised hope and change, didn't change all that much. Americans are demanding it now and folks like the DSA are responding.
