Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

From Col. Schappert:

“I spent a good portion of Sunday afternoon responding to emails from here and abroad. It's quite remarkable. All were respectful, appreciative, and a salve to the deep frustration and hurt.”

He goes on:

He did this the first time remember? What’s next cages again? Did they ever find all the children from his first administration?

I had high hopes for these daily downloads. "Updates" on obvious facts and vague promises don't cut it. We need concrete action and leadership on where to focus our energies.

The right wing literally spent 50 years building a massive, successful propaganda apparatus across AM radio, broadcast TV, cable, and the Internet that fills the public's heads with pebbles and hatred 24/7

we can't selectively unpair electoral delusion from the long, successful attack on the press

Much of reality sucks just now, but here's some joyful truth: I love this wonderful human, who turns 30 today. HBD Bailey!

Stop Asking Dems to Fight Harder. Demand a Strategy Instead. Why do Democrats end up fighting among themselves rather that fighting Republicans?

Welcome to the Democratic Daily Download. 

Every day, you will hear from @housedemocrats.bsky.social on how we’re fighting back against Trump and the GOP — as they rip off working families to give massive tax breaks to their billionaire donors. 

Today's update: our Day of Action to Save Medicaid.

I commend @wired.com for making this decision, and hope other publications follow suit.  I have a theory that more people might just subscribe as a result.

📌I can't tell you how much heart I am taking from these Jewish protestors who have marched on Trump Tower today to oppose the administration's kidnapping of Mahmoud Khalil, saying forcefully and rightfully, "Opposing fascism is a Jewish tradition."

RIGHT
ON
✊🏼

THERE WILL BE BLOOD Just WHEN IN THE HELL will our Democratic leaders understand the peril we are in?

📌"Because Zelenskyy has tasted gun powder and breathed the odious smell of death on the battlefield, he wasn't about to be pushed around by some morbidly obese, 78-yr-old yacht club bully and his toady, who think swinging a sand wedge to free a golf ball from some bunker is dangerous business."

Outstanding.

This is excellent.

Yesterday was another "Black Friday". It will go down as the day an American President and VP disgraced our country by attacking the President of a Country that was invaded by a dictator and standing with that monster. We need to show the world that many of US are disgusted with them.

Vladimir Putin’s investment in Donald Trump pays off bigly After secretly helping Trump's last three presidential campaigns, Russia is getting its money's worth from him.

Talk about a good ROI. Vladimir Putin’s investment in Donald Trump is sure paying off.

Read @davidcorn.bsky.social's timely newsletter from yesterday.

There’s such abundance in local/regional music scenes.

I’m privileged to enjoy many New England talents—great songwriters and performers who play out regularly but need day jobs to get by. I’ve wondered if there’s something in our water, but Schmed’s catalog reminds me it’s that way everywhere.
