Now that you’ve survived Thanksgiving small talk, it's time to treat yourself:
my interview with Judy Reyes is out and it’s a damn good listen. We got into ICE raids, immigrant families, community power—and some Scrubs nostalgia.
You definitely missed this while eating pie. Please give a watch!

He’s going to say he’s never heard of Pete Hegseth by Tuesday
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money.
They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America.
There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.
