Here’s an idea. The 2028 election starts TODAY!! Run a process to select the Dem best equipped for this unique moment, and get going! Show the contrast & provide a focal point for us to rally around! Sure, we need to focus on the mid-terms, but it’s all connected! We need a LEADER to LEAD US! NOW!

Republicans are missing a huge opportunity. Yes, there are massive savings to be realized in healthcare, but they are aiming at the wrong target. Instead of gutting Medicaid and risking backlash, they should take it from the health insurers. M4A would expand and improve care, AND save trillions.

NEW: Trump’s FEMA administrator just sent out an email ordering all employees to stop sending things to the media without prior authorization. It was immediately sent to me by a FEMA employee without prior authorization to share with you.

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

Our next president will have to be technologically competent, at least , in order for us to sustain our place in the world.
This will become increasingly obvious over the next 4 years as AI gets more powerful
This isn’t necessarily bad. Truly. Done right, we will be a better, more equal society

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

Mark Cuban shared his frustrations on Bluesky about the “broken” US healthcare system. His biggest proposed solution is to make medical school FREE for all students. Doing so would encourage many more people to become doctors, ultimately shortening patient wait times and improving access to care.

Quietly, Hegseth announces a major policy change, ruling out Ukraine joining NATO. This is a capitulation to Putin, justifying his wars of aggression starting with Georgia in 2008. This will embolden Putin & undermine the interests of peace in Ukraine & Europe. A major blow to US national security.
