Hard to explain, but during this worrisome time in our history, there's something very grounding for me in listening to you and reading your work. Thank you.

Pity poor Elon Musk. He spent $200 million getting Trump elected so they could run the government together.
But it turns out they are actually really bad at running the government, so now he’s $130 Billion poorer.

Read it. Re-read it. Read it to your family and friends. Recognize it for the warning it is. (Think that's an overstatement? Imagine how it is being read by Stephen Miller. By Tom Homan. By Pam Bondi.)
So as Justice Sotomayor says, “The implication of the Government’s position is that not only noncitizens but also US citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal"

Do you know who laid the foundation for the FDA?
President Theodore Roosevelt. Do you know why? Because he read a great piece of literature that exposed the mistreatment of immigrant workers and the disgusting, unsanitary practices in meatpacking plants…
The book is called “The Jungle.”

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?

WSJ: "It is bewildering to see Mr. Trump’s allies defending this debacle as some show of American strength."
