@profgalloway.com I’m a big fan, hoping you’ll run for President. Curious, heard you mention twice in a recent podcast that you want to eliminate Capital Gains taxes? Honestly, coming from a guy with a lot of money, that doesn’t sound great? Thanks.

@maddow.msnbc.com You really seem to be getting under Trump’s skin, he knows your reach. Are you sure you have to leave again?

@lizcheney.bsky.social Just read a great plan of action from you on FB. I’m trying not to play there anymore. Can you find a way to post on here, way too long for my character count.

~1 Million Canadians “winter” in the US, 100K in AZ (you want this AZ ). They’re not stealing jobs, they’re spending money. Millions more vacation here, 30% of tourists in Vegas are Canadian (you want this NV). How many Canadians do we need to kidnap and imprison before this goes away?

@profgalloway.com talking seriously (semi-seriously) about running for President - Do it!

The Venn diagram of those supporting Trump’s economic policy and young men wearing punisher t-shirts is a circle.

Borrowed from Reuters… Four months ago our economy was the envy of the world. Now capital is fleeing. We are “idioting” ourselves in to a recession.

Not tooting my own horn too much, but over the past decade I’ve been really good at predicting their President. I did not, however, anticipate the rise of someone named Mark Carney as the leader of the free world. For those failing the moment in the homeland, that is how to deal with a bully.

@podsaveamerica.crooked.com Enjoyed your Sunday show, Adam Smith was a great guest. Now that the stats have conclusively shown that young men are a real problem for the cause, are you going to get Scott Galloway on the show?

Thanks to Tim Miller for having Jessica Tarlov and Scott Galloway on the Bulwark Podcast. Three intelligent, driven, engaging people together, the discussion was excellent and wide ranging. Two thumbs up, the kind of leaders we need.

@thebulwark.bsky.social Thanks to Tim Miller for having Jessica Tarlov and Scott Galloway on the Bulwark Podcast. Three perfect examples of the kind of leadership we need. BTW, I may be voting Galloway for President whether he likes it or not.

To win we need to get in front of MAGA - meet them where they’re going. Seems daunting, but they have vulnerabilities: 1. They cant go too fast or their base/frogs will notice the water temperature rising. 2. NO ONE wants the economy wrecked. Acceleration is our only play.

Enjoyed Pod Save America today, right up until Leader Jeffries started talking. PSA gets it. The Bulwark gets it. Scott Galloway gets it. AOC gets it. Dem leadership is lost, hopelessly behind, looking for a “normal” that’s gone. We need to demand new leadership NOW.

You really think the people are going to rise-up on your behalf now that they know Chuck “The Bruce” Schumer’s going to surrender behind them? We need new leadership.

Hey Kathy - The senior Senator from your state surrendered Friday night without a fight. This feels like distraction?

I hear it all the time: “we can’t let them get us down”, “they want us demoralized”, “they want us to quit”. Friday night the senior Dem surrendered without a fight. MAGA doesn’t appear to be tired of winning, but I’m tired of losing. I’m done following losers.

Chuck Schumer surrendered the only leverage we had and got ZERO for it; didn’t even attempt to negotiate. Therein, getting new leadership, people willing to fight, is the only priority; everything else is just complaining, noise, distraction.

substack.com/@thebulwark/...

My feed reads like one gigantic distraction operation. It’s almost like someone on high is telling Dems to change the subject. Fact: Schumer surrendered on Friday night. E. Warren complaining about the Ed. Dept., Maddow same about the VA - it’s coordinated distraction. We demand new leadership.

Bill Maher had Batya Ungar-Sargon on his show this week as the designated MAGAsplaner. She went on about jobs leaving the US, all the income going to the top - sounded like Bernie? Putting aside this was the GOP plan since 1980, they’re stealing economic populism, blame their recession on you.

If you can't lead, LEAVE, Cuck Schumer. @schumer.senate.gov

I don't want to say the Schumer optics are bad but Gavin Newsom just invited him on his podcast.

Canada’s GDP is greater than Russia. Canada has larger oil reserves than Russia. Canada has the highest reserves of high quality uranium in the world. Canada produced Rush! Why are we surrendering to Russia.

I do love it when it comes with numbers… Team JVL.
