1) the next FDR is a class traitor governor (Pritzker)
2) the next FDR is an outspoken politician known by their initials (AOC)
3) the next FDR is the VP of a failed presidential ticket (Walz)
4) the next FDR is an outspoken politician with a dutch last name (Van Hollen)

Why are young people so into ‘zines? I was at the Broad a couple weeks ago and there was a *sold out* zine fest with a line overflowing into the park.

On DOL, probably wants to make the same claims about unemployment fraud as they are making about Social Security.

A conservative family member was showing me videos making fun of AOC in her first year. They started inoculating against her early. They know a real one.

Welch’s statement came after McCarthy attempted to smear a young lawyer from Welch’s firm by implying Communist ties.
This moment is widely regarded as a turning point in McCarthy’s downfall, as public opinion turned against him following the hearings.

Welch, a lawyer representing the U.S. Army, confronted Senator Joseph McCarthy, who had been leading aggressive and often baseless investigations into alleged Communist infiltration of American institutions during the Red Scare.

The "my mom hasn't gotten a Social Security check in seven weeks, my cousin lost his job at the VA, and my neighbor's kid's cancer drug trial was cancelled right before the treatment went live" voter is the 2026 voter the Dems need to be laying the groundwork for landing right now.

@wired.com probably has the sources to do it since X doesn't have to disclose much, but maybe team up with @fastcompany.com or other business publication too.

Also, someone should write a hard data piece on the results of Elon's implementation of these HR strategies at Twitter/X. Profits, employee engagement, product delivery etc. I thought this Atlantic article was going to be it, but it isn't. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
