Hochul: "They promised to extract revenge on their political enemies & apparently any state that has a D gov. Tell me how Florida & Texas could receive these same funds w/o having to go to court? They're playing politics, but more than that, they're playing with people's lives. And that's abhorrent"

Letitia James: "The indictment is baseless. It's nothing more than retribution. Retribution for basically doing my job ... I will defend these charges. And I want everyone to know that it is completely baseless and I am totally innocent."

The Heritage Foundation and it's Supreme Court agents are aggressively reversing all the remedies of a constitution that was never intended to give rights to black people, indigenous people or women.

Malcolm X asked the question, " If all men are created equal, why is there a need fo civil rights".

THUNE: These premiums are going up a little bit b/c of the expiration of the enhanced tax credits

VITALI: I think people hearing their premiums are doubling don't feel that it's a little bit

T: I'm just saying only a small part of that is attributable to the expiration of the enhanced tax credits

Trump promised a bailout for farmers reeling from the effects of his tariffs and the high costs for fertilizer and other equipment.
But the money hasn’t come, and time is running out before farmers have to make crucial decisions about next year’s planting season.

Trump promised farmers a bailout. Time is running out.

The White House blames Democrats and the government shutdown for the delay of their multi-billion-dollar bailout, but that’s just one of many problems the administration faces.

ICE's military raids and masked kidnappings are resonating deeply/negatively in the cultural spaces we keep hearing Dems need to reach: Manosphere, Joe Rogan, country music, disengaged voters. That's rare and it gives Dems a big opening to engage.

ABOLISH ICE and EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT should be mainstream Democratic promises and talking points.

But timidity and civility will rule the day and screw the rest of us and this country in the end.
