It's at the foundation of everything going on in the world today. Democracies eating themselves alive because guys who have two cars and five TVs are mad at some grad student named Rainbow
I think the through-line with almost every single senior member of this administration is seething resentment of people who have credentials, real experience, and legitimate success.

GOP Rep Lauren Boebert is again claiming credit for spending projects in her district after voting against them. In 2024, she told me she'd vote no even if she was the deciding vote.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Judge Reyes’s conclusion: “There is an old adage among lawyers. If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither, pound the table. … Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, [Noem] pounds X (f/k/a Twitter).”

I am a great believer in St. Teresa's warning that more tears are shed over answered prayers
Sometime we take the paths we choose and other times the paths were given and we'll never know which one is better til we get there. 🙇
Many paths I've be given have taken me places I certainly didn't mind being! 😊

So, Michele is my friend and we argue this all the time. But gonna say this again: "They control a media ecosystem and are better at messaging" is not enough. Complaining about the other guy's strengths isn't a strategy. You must counter those strengths./1
No, but "ignoring the huge imbalance in the info space and hoping no Dem councilman in San Franciso never says anything that Fox and Twitter can run with"
isn't a strategy, either.
I haven't seen ANY strategy opinion pieces that tackle the "much bigger megaphone" problem. That's the one we need.

But not every issue is of equal importance. Dems are like a parliamentary coalition constantly terrified of losing their smallest partners. The GOP has long been better at enforcing party discipline among its base because they explain the stakes - yes, sure, sometimes lying - in plain language.

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law.

A government that operates in fear of exposure—that kills citizens it finds politically inconvenient—is no government at all. It betrays 250 years of American blood spilled in service of the ideals it seeks to destroy.
