Yeah yesterday @milkepescs.bsky.social was agreeing w/Iowa journo Art Cullen on his podcast that Ds need to stop emphasizing transgender & related issues "like they did in the last election" -Delusional. National Ds were (for better or worse) desperately running away from those issues in 2024
The reality of the Democratic Party -- what its elected officials actually do with the power they are given -- is almost entirely immaterial to US political discourse. Happens off-stage, basically.
Discourse is dominated by a kind of collective hallucination, a bogieman invented by its opponents.

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.
The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

A scoop that I’m not happy to report:
CBS News has gutted its climate change reporting team, one of the best in the business, and one of the only ones on cable news that consistently called out fossil fuels as the main source of climate pollution.

There are moments when I reflect with pride on the long ago undergrad days when future @bennet.senate.gov recruited me to go into student govt and I ended up succeeding him leading that organization
Bennet runs out of patience with RFK Jr and yells at him that "I'm asking the questions on behalf of parents and schools and teachers all over the United States of America who deserve so much better than your leadership! That's what this conversation is about."
