I like @profgalloway.com ‘s idea of an economic boycott. Suggest we focus on one state, FL, where the economy and tax revenue are heavily dependent on tourism, it’ll hit Bob Iger, the boat paraders, and anything you can do in FL, you can do in Mexico, so easy enough.

Difficult to get to exact numbers, but it appears the FY2026 budget for ICE is larger than the US Marine Corps. I don’t think we have time to continue to do nothing.

Dear Dems - ICE now has a budget larger than the Israeli Defense Force. We don’t have the time to do nothing.

Well done Cincinnati, I’d say several thousand in attendance at UC, one of several local demonstrations.

@profgalloway.com Enjoyed Raging Moderates today. Tend to agree, the party is dead, we need a leader:)… Consider having Newsom on your show, flesh out the independent CA/West Coast idea. Explain lower overall tax rates, no tariffs, low graft, predictable government. We need leverage, that’s it.

@profgalloway.com I’m a big fan, hoping you’ll run for President. Curious, heard you mention twice in a recent podcast that you want to eliminate Capital Gains taxes? Honestly, coming from a guy with a lot of money, that doesn’t sound great? Thanks.

@maddow.msnbc.com You really seem to be getting under Trump’s skin, he knows your reach. Are you sure you have to leave again?

@lizcheney.bsky.social Just read a great plan of action from you on FB. I’m trying not to play there anymore. Can you find a way to post on here, way too long for my character count.

~1 Million Canadians “winter” in the US, 100K in AZ (you want this AZ ). They’re not stealing jobs, they’re spending money. Millions more vacation here, 30% of tourists in Vegas are Canadian (you want this NV). How many Canadians do we need to kidnap and imprison before this goes away?

The Venn diagram of those supporting Trump’s economic policy and young men wearing punisher t-shirts is a circle.

Borrowed from Reuters… Four months ago our economy was the envy of the world. Now capital is fleeing. We are “idioting” ourselves in to a recession.

Not tooting my own horn too much, but over the past decade I’ve been really good at predicting their President. I did not, however, anticipate the rise of someone named Mark Carney as the leader of the free world. For those failing the moment in the homeland, that is how to deal with a bully.

@podsaveamerica.crooked.com Enjoyed your Sunday show, Adam Smith was a great guest. Now that the stats have conclusively shown that young men are a real problem for the cause, are you going to get Scott Galloway on the show?

Thanks to Tim Miller for having Jessica Tarlov and Scott Galloway on the Bulwark Podcast. Three intelligent, driven, engaging people together, the discussion was excellent and wide ranging. Two thumbs up, the kind of leaders we need.

@thebulwark.bsky.social Thanks to Tim Miller for having Jessica Tarlov and Scott Galloway on the Bulwark Podcast. Three perfect examples of the kind of leadership we need. BTW, I may be voting Galloway for President whether he likes it or not.

To win we need to get in front of MAGA - meet them where they’re going. Seems daunting, but they have vulnerabilities: 1. They cant go too fast or their base/frogs will notice the water temperature rising. 2. NO ONE wants the economy wrecked. Acceleration is our only play.

Enjoyed Pod Save America today, right up until Leader Jeffries started talking. PSA gets it. The Bulwark gets it. Scott Galloway gets it. AOC gets it. Dem leadership is lost, hopelessly behind, looking for a “normal” that’s gone. We need to demand new leadership NOW.

You really think the people are going to rise-up on your behalf now that they know Chuck “The Bruce” Schumer’s going to surrender behind them? We need new leadership.

Hey Kathy - The senior Senator from your state surrendered Friday night without a fight. This feels like distraction?
Do you know someone who was fired by DOGE? Let them know Governor Hochul and New York State want to hire them! Those interested should visit www.ny.gov/wewantyou

I hear it all the time: “we can’t let them get us down”, “they want us demoralized”, “they want us to quit”. Friday night the senior Dem surrendered without a fight. MAGA doesn’t appear to be tired of winning, but I’m tired of losing. I’m done following losers.

Chuck Schumer surrendered the only leverage we had and got ZERO for it; didn’t even attempt to negotiate. Therein, getting new leadership, people willing to fight, is the only priority; everything else is just complaining, noise, distraction.

My feed reads like one gigantic distraction operation. It’s almost like someone on high is telling Dems to change the subject. Fact: Schumer surrendered on Friday night. E. Warren complaining about the Ed. Dept., Maddow same about the VA - it’s coordinated distraction. We demand new leadership.
SHAME ON YOU CHUCK SCHUMER!
You DO NOT DESERVE THE TITLE of “LEADER”. It’s time to step down and let someone who knows how to fight lead the Democrats now.
YOU GAVE UP your immense POWER as a SENATOR and as the SENATE DEMOCRATIC LEADER to the wrecking crew of Tr*mp and M*sk.

Bill Maher had Batya Ungar-Sargon on his show this week as the designated MAGAsplaner. She went on about jobs leaving the US, all the income going to the top - sounded like Bernie? Putting aside this was the GOP plan since 1980, they’re stealing economic populism, blame their recession on you.
