If, for example, Mamdani and Spangenberger appeared jointly and both said "I agree with you on the vertical axis", there are things I have to listen to on the horizontal axis, and I'll listen to you" they can model a new approach.

With respect, IMO it is a fundamental error to sustain the "left/righ" axis as the defining issue. It will take a concerted effort to do this, but a vertical "have too much / have too little / have none" axis has to be recognized as the battlefield. Wealth extraction upward is an emergency.

This is a very interesting piece, but I'm also interested in why every Dem. within reach of a microphone and camera isn't shouting "Give back the $50 K, now!" (He, can't of course, at least if he has a lawyer.)

Within the NYT there is hot competition for the Walter Duranty award: do for Trump what Duranty did for Stalin et al. The interesting thing is that the headlines (which the reporters don't write) are consistently worse than the texts, although the latter are often bad enough.

So why isn't Illinois AG convening grand jury to investigate masked ICE goons et al. and their felonious assaults (75% of them on video?)

Of course the have the Merrick Garland theory that Trump is beneath the law and does need indictment, but we can see where that got us.
