Defense is apparently optional in MKE.

I actually think this is a great idea and I wish it wasn’t these ghouls who are pushing for it. Federal agencies can support local economies in areas hit by losses in manufacturing.

How tf does this guy keep succeeded by being wrong? Lmao
Screenshot of a Wikipedia page: “Kevin Allen Hassett (born March 20, 1962) is an American economist who has been the Director of the National Economic Council since 2025. He was the senior advisor and chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers from 2017 to 2019. He coauthored Dow 36,000, published in 1999, which argued that the stock market was about to have a massive swing upward and would reach 36,000 by 2004. Shortly thereafter, the dot-com bubble burst, causing a massive decline in stock market prices. The Dow did not reach 36,000 until late 2021.(1]”

This rings very true. Arguably Trump’s greatest triumph politically is turning the Democrats into the status quo party. Not that they were exactly revolutionaries before, but they at least were saying “things aren’t great and we need to fix it”.
Murphy: Yes, but let me add an important element to that: Only if voters believe that Democrats are actually serious about reforming government. This was one of the problems in 2024 and the election that we just went through. We were so obsessed with the threat to democracy. That was arguably the tent pole of the Harris campaign. That's why Liz Cheney was campaigning with her despite their disagreements on foreign policy and economics. People came to believe the Democrats were endorsing not just democracy, but the current version of democracy, which is not working for anybody. So the only way that we are credible in attacking Trump's attempts to deconstruct democracy is to make it clear that we want to reform democracy. Not in marginal ways. Like get private money completely out of politics through a constitutional amendment if it's necessary; close the revolving door in and out of government, make sure nobody can trade on their influence to make money; actually make government more efficient and faster, like build a permanent road in six months instead of six years. We've got to attack the existing version of democracy. Get back to where we used to be 20 years ago when we were an aggressive democracy reform party because our critiques of Donald Trump will land flat if people think that we're just defending the existing system.

REALLY love how every shitty decision Biden made was in deference to bolster political support from a demo that didn't actually come through lmao
A screenshot of an article highlighting how Biden didn't undo a Trump policy of putting Cuba on a terrorism watch list in order to appease Cuban voters – who overwhelmingly backed Trump anyway.

I want shorter elections. Campaigning is too expensive and too toxic to ever elevate good leaders.
