If this was done without Gang of Eight oversight, it’s a serious violation of federal law and a dangerous escalation that pushes us closer to war: www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

dems serious about winning really have no choice but to seriously embrace antitrust reform and challenge corporate power, because their failure to do so earnestly opened the door to phony ass authoritarian pseudo-populism
Pretending to challenge corporate power has been one of the motivating points of the Trump platform. If someone did it for real, that would really be something.
The Democratic party would win elections repeatedly if they competently challenged corporate power.
