Let it be said. Our government and the people who work for it are not a waste or a fraud. They are a modern goddamn miracle. If Elon Musk doesn’t like a government that serves all the people, he is welcome to build a time travel machine and return to Apartheid South Africa. the.ink/p/government...

America today is living through a hostile takeover by bullies and billionaires. It is rampaging unopposed because leading Democrats don't know how to fight. Step up, own the failing, and change -- or make way for the fighters in your ranks. FULL VIDEO: the.ink/p/milquetoas...

We desperately, urgently need a media that isn’t afraid to name this as the evisceration of the federal government. That is what is going on. We cannot only be comfortable using such language when the situation is far away in time or space. It’s happening here. We need to be clear.

This is a hilariously out-of-touch analysis from someone whose publication is literally called Inside Philanthropy. Maybe it would help to pull out a little. On the contrary, I find people much more alive to this threat now than I did six years ago.
