If Jeffrey Goldberg really wanted to call their bluff, he could just release all the screenshots of the text group and say:
"Look, DNI Gabbard said none of it is classified, so I have no legal obligation to keep it from the public."
He won't because he cares about military safety but still.

You ever notice how the hard right in the GOP has no hesitation about threatening elected officials they see as weak or ineffective with being primaried but when someone suggests that is how to deal with feckless Dems the response is "No, you'll weaken the party!" The reality is the opposite.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election.
She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything
3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can
4. Citizens march en mass

Don’t sell against the competition.

I found that the best way to build a business is to build a relationship with your customers ask how they are doing, how are the kids , how did their dad’s surgery go, show interest in them and mean it because they know what they want
