Great point from @amandamarcotte.bsky.social: If Dems want to win back young men, one approach might be to stand up for what you believe. Even when, or especially when, they disagree with you.

On the pod, Amanda is excellent on Dems and authenticity. Transcript:

And it’s coming from inside the house
BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear:
The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here.

Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead.

This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.
The Survival of Democracy Depends on Our Willingness to Fight
Justice Riggs is right. We should not have to fight for democracy. But the reality is that we must.

Dear Jake Tapper,

No, the original sin was JANUARY 6 — and not convicting Trump immediately after.

Anything else is fake outrage to gin up ratings and book sales.

John Stewart said it best, "why wasn't he reporting on it when he found out instead of writing a book and selling it?"

Not satisfied with merely slashing Medicaid

Republicans now want to demolish MEDICARE as well

Which would severely harm seniors and disabled people

Plus bankrupt rural hospitals

Seriously-how many Americans are Trump and MAGA Republicans going to kill so they can give Elon Musk another tax break

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

On the topic of presidential mental acuity, the current president was awake at 1:30am rage tweeting about his former opponents’ crowd sizes and calling Beyoncé, Bono, and Bruce Springsteen ‘unpatriotic entertainers.’ Where is the news cycle about his fitness for office?

Journalists . . . we really can't count on them. They contribute to our demise as a country. Just like everything in the United States, it's about fame, glory, and the bottom line. We had it so good before they all needed to fuel their narcissism. Sad.

The problem is that all these media stars think they know better than a majority of the country who believes their reporting sucks rocks. They think by making a big noise about Biden (which the'll justify up the wazoo), we'll not notice what cowards they're being about covering Trump. We do notice.
