JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

New from me:

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

#3 is it. How much viewership($) can you squeeze out of another propaganda outlet? The only way that works is to take away people's choices and, thank God, we still have them for our news.

The Times editorial board lost the plot a long time ago. They are so invested in the old days that they cannot see what is happening now. How far are they from making a Peggy Noonan A.I. and letting it write a daily column?

Every time has its heroes. Shout out the worker who wouldn't let Ice Barbie in.

I think Klein is going throught it. He refuses to believe that people he associates with and admires would though him in a camp in a heartbeat if they could get away with it. Did he ever read a word Charlie Kirk said?

The Democrats need to empower messengers that the establishment is scared of, people who don’t delight megadonors. Democrats need to stake their claims on a set of strong beliefs, and see if Americans will follow. They need to stop being lawyerly and timid.

@mollyjongfast.bsky.social: "Let’s face it: Woke is good for business." And Democratic politics.

I blame Biden. Harris and Walz were excellent for 100 days and inheriting Biden's team. Biden's lack of urgency and self regard F'd us for a generation.

I am not ready to chuck either out but I am close on Woolen. Bradford does not have near the starts that Riq has. He might get better

Probably because the bank is auctioning off the house. Private equity doesn't like political signs in front of its assets.

After regular Americans risked their jobs to support the rights of a comedian, this is just a gross betrayal.

Did he throw in some moisturizing tips? Felt that would have been helpful.

Every Democrat has to say, into every microphone, that the GOP owns the government and it is 100% their responsibility to produce a budget.

This is why they are going to fall. They just dont have the horses to stay on top in America. I, mean, look at this fuckin dork.

Charlie88.bsky.social @charlie88.bsky.social · 12d

So that is the plan. Destroy all the good jobs, so people are willing to go down that shaft and die at 50. They really hate Americans.

The look I gave Seneca Wallace every time he ran the ball out of bounds, instead of throwing it, behind the line of scrimmage.

Has anybody noticed that the Raiders have the worst OL in the NFL? Maybe it wasn't Schnieder, after all.
