So I asked several of Trump’s evangelical advisors — and some religious leaders in Trump’s broader orbit — what they actually want from a second Trump term.
Here’s what they told me. https://t.co/sC8C5bgYzN
NEW: Rep Dan Goldman (D-NY) introduces formal House resolution “which would re-affirm that the 22nd Amendment is explicit in prohibiting Presidents who have served two full terms from running for the Presidency again and condemn President-Elect Donald Trump’s frequent statements suggesting he could serve past the end of his most recent term”
reminder you dont need to take the bait from "New Liberalism" or any of its associated accounts, it's a project of PPI––a "think tank" funded by ExxonMobil, Big Pharma, Big Tobacco, Walmart, specifically tasked with making Left-punching seem cool and savvy https://t.co/P5rqM4TKvl
Economics professor @IsabellaMWeber explains what it means to create an economic policy that protects people’s essential needs and doesn’t push them into the arms of the far right.
Unemployment weakens governments. Inflation kills. The politically destructive power of inflation had been forgotten. Standard policy tools left us unprepared and fueled inequality. The re-election of Trump should serve as a warning to all democrats.

Economist @blair_fix: "Free-market thinking is a lie in the sense that it does not lead to greater freedom and autonomy. Quite the opposite. The evidence suggests that free-market thinking actually leads to greater obedience and subordination." Read more: https://t.co/UmAlmIaqBz
The House is set 2 vote on a bill that would allow the Trump admin 2 designate US non-profits, like universities, as "terrorist support orgs" if they, say, support pro-Palestine students protesting genocide. This bill is terrifying & must be stopped /n. https://t.co/IIoOJjql4R /1
The party should jettison its consultant class and move toward a local-membership model that would help to rejuvenate civic life across the country.

Tomasky exemplifies liberal analytical failure: he correctly identifies right-wing media role but is oblivious to obvious fact that this media only works because it resonates w everyday material reality; he also elides mainstream media complicity in creating “post-truth” society.
If we want the catharsis of blame for Trump 2024, we can't turn on low info voters. The people who really caused Trump are rich and powerful political operatives and consultants (in both parties), and especially the ultra-rich who use their wealth to buy access to our politics.
I wrote about some of the tech nightmares rushing towards us now that Trump will be President and how Biden let them marinate during his administration. https://t.co/ZrLfrKFBuk
the worst part about the republican party is that they lean into their independant grassroots media and the democrats don’t do this. they’re ceding an entire, arguably more important realm of media space to fascists
