Meanwhile, there are people ready to remake the Democratic Party to actually meet the moment.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

That’s the way it is.

They give orders from a beach club, some other Americans die in a desert.

They make money off the government, everyone else owes more.

They get away with crimes, and the people who protest them get arrested and even killed. And on and on. The way it is.

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

Zohran’s biggest crime to the Dem establishment isn’t even his Palestine support, it’s that he proves conclusively that Dem elites have lost control of their base. Dem voters are done taking orders from the Schumers of the world on who they are allowed to support.

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

That being said, the way to really meet the moment is to be bold and transformational. The public is crying out for large scale change that will confront the billionaires and return power and money to the working class. Anything less will leave the country still vulnerable to fascism.

Mr @POTUS @JDVance @BernieSanders @RobertKennedyJr @RepThomasMassie @RoKhanna can we please get aid into GAZA NOW?! Children are starving to death!! We are America. This isnt about politics. This is about humanity.

Derek Thompson having 2025’s rick santelli moment in defense of traditional American capitalism and market economics while Marxist talking points run rampant on the right is a development so abrupt I simply can’t wrap my head around it

"Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you.
Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways.
Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride."

Mass resignations at DOJ as prosecutors refuse to drop charges against Eric Adams as part of Trump’s corrupt bargain.

Every five years or so Mark Zuckerberg makes Facebook policy changes and does an interview where he acts like he’s a newborn baby who just appeared on earth and has no understanding or ownership over what came before. But this time, he’s styled like Drake’s molly dealer.

I think about abundance/SSP as where to go next rather than a key explanation of 2020-2024 vote shifts.

But the anger that has built over decades in blue states and cities over housing costs, homelessness, crappy infrastructure, expensive energy, etc was real and waiting to express itself. Against a stronger Republican Party, I don't think Dems are anywhere near their bottom in the states and cities they govern.

I know so many people in Los Angeles and SF who've gone from mainline, Pod-Save-Democrats, to truly disaffected, even enraged. But the CA Republican Party has become a Trumpist carnival that they'll never support. What if it hadn't? Dem losses in CA are held down by GOP dysfunction.

And then there's the problems that need to get solved: We have to build millions of new homes in the next decade. We have to build far more clean energy and transmission lines. It's be nice to be able to get big public infrastructure jobs done fast and affordably. You need a vision that solves the problems you actually have.

All those suddenly loud when Ukraine defends itself with allies' missiles were notably quiet while russia targeted Ukraine's civilians with Iranian & North Korean ones.

You're not "pro-peace". You're just upset that Ukrainians are fighting loudly instead of dying quietly.

Can we go back to saying UFOs instead of UAPs if we promise to do it responsibly?

I don't agree with a lot of Harris policies. But I disagree with trying to steal an election so strongly that that's irrelevant. Respecting the peaceful transfer of power is a foundational issue in democracy: if you don't have that, nothing else matters.

[Thomas C. Theiner @noclador]

Voting for Trump is treason.

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

Given that you were complicit in a plot to overturn the results of a democratic election its pretty astonishing that you are listening to my podcast rather than serving slop in the prison cafeteria but appreciate the feedback.
