This is incredibly important:
we must frame tonight as a resounding victory — an electoral landslide, a mandate from the universe itself
and as a repudiation of MAGA, of Trump, and of vichy democrats
we must be relentless, we must not shut up

If we can figure out how to explain “marginal tax rate” to the majority of US citizens before next November, that would be great.

Democratic Party leadership failed to stave off fascism and has failed to provide real resistance.
If that is going to change it’s time we expected more, so much more, from political candidates and the party as a whole. I laid out baseline minimums.

This—what Trump is doing now in trying to destroy American universities, research, and free speech while blaming it on pretend offense to the Jews is certainly the most profoundly antisemitic act I’ve seen from US government in my lifetime.
The claim that the destruction of essential civilizational institutions is being done in the name of the Jews is itself a form of antisemitism—cultural vandalism carried out in our name.
That, my friends, is rank bullshit.
