I watched some of the Klein-Coates discussion.
Coates is brilliant and an important figure in our time. But
Klein was thought in binary terms: "...why did we lose?" "They won..." offering no path for himself, democracy aside.
I found Klein to be, excuse the reference, more Boromir than Faramir.

I hope that is the case.
I feel the need to point out how many times 47 has said one thing then done the exact opposite, though.
He succeeds in making me nervous.

I'm not going to re-subscribe to Disney+, though.

Might not be. I don't know. Just a thought.
I hope not- but hope, like magic, is notoriously unreliable.

He's trying to get us into a "war" so he can declare emergency wartime powers, perhaps?

Epstein.
Epstein.
Epstein.
Release the Epstein Files.

This is a 9-0 Supreme Court decision from just last year.

The more we talk about this guy, the more we shape the clay of martyrdom. He was no hero. From what I've read so far, his POV was negative, regressive, and lacked nuance- a child of the clickbait internet and Xbox eras.

Excuse my ignorance, but didn't we see this hand-drawn birthday card months ago?
Let's move forward at our pace and not theirs, please.

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/

I just came back from Chamonix/St. Gervais. Moral support team for a friend was running the 50k OCC ultra marathon.
(I struggled with the 3.5 miles I did this morning; I'm ready for a burrito. And a nap.)
Fantastic area!

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5. Today it’s 0.7%. Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

ICE Adds Random Person to Group Chat, Exposes Details of Manhunt in Real-Time The texts were sent to a group called “Mass Text” and show ICE using DMV and license plate reader data in an attempt to find their target, copies of the messages obtained by 404 Media show.

The person says they were added weeks ago, thought they were scam texts until start seeing data lookups etc. Incredible security failure www.404media.co/ice-adds-ran...

In any metaphorical, fantasy universe(MCU, DCU, Star Wars, Star Trek), that would be the one place he wouldn't/couldn't cheat and would be his downfall; the toehold for the good guys.

He’s got a good case, but the devil’s in the micro things.

I think this guy is pulling college professor tropes from TV.

Rosie is entertaining! That other person is a multi-car accident in the weird fog of the 21st Century.

The GOP is not a good faith partner in governing. They are not on the level. Their stated goals are irrelevant and disconnected to their behavior.

Any Democrat who pretends otherwise is misunderstanding our opposition and not up to what this moment demands.

I am going to refer to 47 this way from now on. Heh!

Note to media:
“Trump says” is not a story. He says A LOT. He lies a lot. Do some sifting, discerning, contextualizing. Otherwise it’s just stenography. And you’re embarrassing yourselves.

I have to admit I looked at this thread because my initial thought was that the kid was the ambassador and the woman was, uh, 'unexplained.' 🤔

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.
