But as we all wring our hands, let's also be clear: the task yesterday was to build media institutions independent of these greasy oligarchs. That task hasn't changed today, although maybe now we have more clarity and more urgency. Please support your chosen sources of independent media.

The Liz Warren so many of us loved in the mid-2010s is back. A lot of politics is picking the right fights and just like she went after Larry Summers then (how right that proved!), targeting the rot from within i.e. Reid Hoffman and the "abundance-bro" billionaires lickspittles is a good call now
Elizabeth Warren's speech today impugned greedy billionaires & their millionaire minions who control the Dem Party. She voiced obviously true stuff we're told never to say - which is why those millionaire minions in media have logged on to smarmily criticize her. www.levernews.com/elizabeth-wa...

New! We worked with the Public Interest Research Group to test a bunch of LLM-driven toys ahead of the Christmas. That sexual talking teddy bear wasn't a one-off; it turns out disturbing behavior is deeply built into these toys across the board.

Our ass clown of a Dem House leader has a chance to talk about Trump's record on immigration... and he talks about what a great job he's done securing the border. Jeffries is irredeemably buried in cable news world (the only saving grace, he said it on CNN where no actual voters one will see it)
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

We deserve a Democratic Party that is willing to fight as hard as we are.
We need new leadership in this moment and to get there, we need a chorus of support for change. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. It’s time for drastic action.
