Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

And, to be clear, it's almost certainly happening *because* the base has been screaming for action from elected Democrats.
This isn't "relax, they've got this." This is "keep yelling, it's working."

Btw, that means in the last 24 hours we've had:
-Cory Booker going for a record in holding the floor
-Ruben Gallego putting a hold on VA nominees over cuts to veterans care
-Adam Schiff putting a hold on Ed Martin's nomination for DC US attorney over... a lot
That's a genuinely good start.

HELP! I'm being inspired against my own will! I'm feeling seen! I'm uncovering hope under layers of cynicsm! Who is this spokesperson for a self-reflective party that is committing to fight back, and what does he think he's doing??
Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

This is beautiful:
“…we need structural solutions to structural problems. Meanwhile, so many people are still bleeding. That’s why we’ll keep sending them bandaids—at the same time as we work to heal the deeper wounds.”

One cool way to avoid feeling vilified for your religious beliefs is to not try to force the entire country to live according to them.

Part 3, in which AOC explains that the calls we have been making to members of Congress this week are having an impact on Republicans and Democrats alike.

MLK JR quotes for his day.
The second is from his 1967 book, Where Do We Go From Here--a passage rich in insight about the ways we can (should!) obtain, embrace, and build *power* to work for justice. Love and Power: neither is sufficient on its own, but in tandem, a formidable force. Lots to sit with here.

This theater around TikTok “going dark” with a note that basically says “Heil Trump, he’ll save us!!” is really illuminating. Like “OH! *This* is how dumb you think we are.”
