A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

This! It IS a storytelling problem. Republicans create a story that’s easy to understand, full of villains and heroes. They have action! Anticipation! Scandal! Their “beats” are clear. #Democrats are over-thinking. They spend too much time on backstory. I am pro thinking. But I see the point.

Who can tell a more compelling story about the US government—Trump/Musk or Dems & citizens who care about democracy, decency & preventing oligarchic rule & autocracy? Whoever does will decide the future of America. Right now, the Ds are losing big. I explain: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger. Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage.

No more holidays, I guess? Thanksgiving involves both American Indians and European Immigrants. So…

So much is wrong with this line of thinking. I guess we’ll need to cancel ALL the holidays? Wouldn’t Jesus being “the Son of God” also be considered an immutable characteristic?

"The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they're selling: their ideas, their notion of inevitability. We may be many & they be few but they need us more than we need them. Another world is not only possible, she's on her way. I can hear her breathing.” - Arundhati Roy

It may feel weird or somehow improper to talk about your art or your writing, but we need it. It can’t be wall-to-wall nightmare all the time. Art is both counterweight and context. It’s escape and enlightenment and a mirror of our own exasperation. We need it. We NEED it. Keep showing us.

If you’re a Democratic lawmaker wondering why so many of us are frustrated with your messaging and wondering what it is we want, check out Justin Trudeau’s response to Trump’s tariffs and please take notes.
