My latest piece at @thenation.com takes issue with the conventional wisdom that the Dems don't know how to fight Musk's GOP brownshirts effectively. They know how. We know this because they've been waging that kind of ruthless fight against the left for 25 years. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

As workers grew stronger and gained power, the billionaires needed a public execution, a message that combined state and private power to demonstrate just what can happen when you step out of line.

For any Democrats tempted to say versions of, “Granted, we need to trim the fat from the federal budget,” please understand that this blood-letting is what comes with your complicity.
