Really good piece. Other Democrats in power need to look at what AOC is doing right now and follow her example. One of the worst and most frightening aspects of this moment is seeing how many Dems in leadership roles seem resigned to defeat.

Here is the ad the Washington Post refused to run about Elon Musk this weekend. And here is the ad the Post was happy to run by a rightwing group funded by Musk that smeared me in October. I started Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent and prodemocracy. Check it out. www.democracydocket.com

If we had a functioning DNC (or SuperPACs), they'd be running this FEMA quote on radio ads in disaster-prone red states. Keep it running for months. Let it sink in their heads: Trump will leave them hanging out to dry. Start undermining him, the GOP, and their attempt to screw California now.

If my name is "Ronald Dump" and it's prior to November 2024, I've got a problem. If I lose an upcoming election, I will likely go to jail, and I would very much like to delay ever being held accountable for my own actions on J6 and go to jail. So what do I do? Have my Best Buddy Leon rig PA.

Long before Trump rewarded Gabbard’s loyalty with a DNI nomination, she was loyal to another charismatic leader — a man who remains mostly unknown outside Hawaii but is reputed to have a powerful hold over his followers. My latest for @theatlantic.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Trump and his GOP enablers can try to retcon what happened on January 6th. But we all saw it with our own eyes. We saw Trump and R’s lie about the election being stolen. People believed them and attacked the Capitol to try and overturn an election. The truth is the truth. Liz, as usual, is right.
