@spencer_josh I think this is fair, I would argue that DD's best attribute is longevity, however I also think that's the most frustrating part of his time. He ran his program to reduce risk. Personally I'd put Amato above him, at least he went for it.
Five stories from just the last 24 hours:
1. Minnesota police chief says ICE has been unconstitutionally stopping & pulling guns on *his own* off-duty officers who are brown/black.
2. The Social Security Administration referred two DOGE employees for Hatch Act violations after discovering contacts with a political group seeking SSA data to overturn election results.
3. Canada struck a historic trade deal with China, declaring them more "predictable" than the U.S., then its PM warned of a rupture with the U.S. and the "end of the rules-based international order."
4. Trump quietly pardoned a slew of more white collar criminals, almost all of whom were convicted of fraud.
5. NYTimes released an editorial documenting how Trump has made $1.4 billion (with a "b") dollars off the presidency in his first year in office -- just on the publicly documented trades and transactions.
That's legitimately 24 hours of news, and it's just scratching the surface.
For everyone new to the movement, it's important to realize that wishful thinking and fun branding aren't why Raleigh is now one of the finalists for MLB expansion.
It all starts with the data.
Today's focus? Population👇

BREAKING: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker moments ago, regarding Trump sending troops to Chicago:
“This is not about fighting crime or about public safety. This is about sowing fear and intimidation and division among Americans. It is about creating a pre-text to send armed military troops into our communities. This is about consolidating power in Donald Trump’s hands. What he plans to do with that power now or during the 2026 elections, should worry all of us. When you add to that the Trump administration’s effort to label as ‘dangerous,’ free speech critical of him, WH senior staff calling the Democratic Party ‘fascist,’ the Trump-appointed FCC chair threatening to revoke broadcast licenses and the approval of a merger in order to silence late-night comedians, Trump’s threats to jail political opponents, you can not call this anything but an attack on the Constitution of the United States.”
Why do we have legal minimum ages? To protect kids from at least 4 harms: graphic sex, graphic violence, addiction, & health/safety hazards.
Social media exposes kids to all 4.
@profgalloway and I explain why social media should be age-gated:
