Former Capitol Hill journalist, news director and non-profit communicator now living in Spain. The irony of living in a formerly fascist country turned democratic as my home country trades its democracy for fascism isn’t lost on me.

The America First guy has brought in 566 foreign workers during his 5 years in office to work at his companies instead of hiring Americans. And counting.

The versatility of Gov Newsom may mean we regain the House; the failure of the Senate Dem Caucus to show versatility will cause much pain - Dem Senators Masto, Kaine, Durban, Fetterman, Hassan, Rosen, Shaheen, & King failed the moment.

How many lives were lost just because Donald Trump wanted to claim “the win”?

Exactly right!

Journalists refusing to state the basic facts has fueled MAGA lies and allowed them to create their alternate reality.

The TRUMP administration is doing the threatening not “politics.”
Goddam @nytimes.com headline writers! It's not "politics" that threatens these projects. It's the naked abuse of the power of the purse by a small-minded, vindictive president. Stop the sanewashing while you still have a newspaper to publish in!

In summary:

The hateful Charlie Kirk was shot by the acolyte of a more hateful version of Charlie Kirk.

It wasn’t any of the imaginary bogeymen they were hoping for.

Just a case of them slowly drowning in their own hate.

Exactly right!
“There is no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign, and refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

Appeasement of Trump NEVER works. Obviously D.C. is in a unique position but the idea that being his “buddy” will prevent him from taking full control whenever he wants is beyond naive.

Happy Labor Day
Look at this graph.

The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.

This is why we must build back union power.
