Need to rethink how the executive branch polices itself, because DOJ won’t enforce that court order.

C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "Hearing you say that 'everyone is smiling' in cities where troops have been rolled into feels dystopian and insane watching the response to it."

It’s even worse for us. Once the AI bubble bursts, consumer spending won’t be enough to prop up our economy. Xi understands his enormous leverage.

Now let’s cancel the LA Convention Center project and reallocate those funds to housing, transit, and commerce.

You may not realize this, but Democrats have *more money* available to them than Republicans do.

But Republicans are fucking masters at efficiency and network marketing. They maximize every dollar.

Democratic organizations keep hiring the same failed consultants. They need new blood.

Maybe China’s tightening of rare earth restrictions which are necessary for the chips fueling the US AI boom. That sector is single handedly propping up GDP, exceeding consumer spending.

MAJOR NEWS: @GavinNewsom signed SB 79, my bill allowing more housing near public transit — rail, subway, rapid bus.

It’s a huge step for housing in California. It’ll create more homes, strengthen our transit systems & reduce traffic & carbon emissions.

Thank you, Governor!

Clinton tried to cap CEO pay somewhat through tax policy, but it had so many loopholes that corporations just ignored it. Add that to his list of triangulated fails like “welfare reform” and the 1996 Telecommunications Act.

The Executive Pay Cap That Backfired
A while back, Congress voted to curb soaring compensation for corporate officers by limiting tax deductions. Here’s how it went wrong.

Chris Murphy says Dems should lay down a simple marker for Trump: No Dem support for anything that funds his lawbreaking.

"if you want our votes, it can’t be for rampant lawlessness. This isn't a normal time...the world [is] watching to see what we stand for." 2/

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.

More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.

"In being the first leading Dem to use the word 'dementia,' Pritzker is ... foregrounding Trump’s deteriorated mental state such that all the crazy things he’s doing in defiance of reason, morality, the Constitution and the law are downstream from there."

Pritzker warns ICE agents breaking the law that there will be consequences when Democrats regain power. It might take a few years for us to work through the courts, but your actions now are going to hurt you later.

Real estate investors now own about 20% of single-family homes in the country.

A big reason why home prices have skyrocketed in recent years is a lack of supply — and investors sinking their teeth into whatever is left on the market is making the problem even worse.

While Trump and the WWE cofounder seek to demolish the U.S. Department of Education, California is generating K-12 test scores that get better and better.

With universal meals, added literacy resources, and more, we're helping students thrive in and out of the classroom.
Announcing news that California's test scores for the previous academic school year show continued progress among K-12 students, Governor Newsom signs legislation to help ensure educators have access to necessary resources for reading and literacy instruction.
