how to be a common-sense moderate

step 1: pick your own ideological and cultural bugbears
step 2: declare that they are common-sense issues supported by the silent majority
step 3: lose anyways

i'm fine with a deeper focus on economic issues over social issues but man does plank 2 give the game away
To give ourselves the best chance to win, we recommend the following changes to our approach. Democrats need to: Focus our policy agenda and our messaging on an economic program centered on lowering costs, growing the economy, creating jobs, and expanding the social safety net. Advocate for popular economic policies (e.g., expanding prescription drug price negotiation, making the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes, raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour) rather than unpopular economic policies (e.g., student loan forgiveness, electric vehicle subsidies, Medicare for All). Convince voters that we share their priorities by focusing more on issues voters do not think our party prioritizes highly enough (the economy, the cost of living, health care, border security, public safety), and focusing less on issues voters think we place too much emphasis on (climate change, democracy, abortion, identity and cultural issues). Moderate our positions where our agenda is unpopular, including on issues like immigration, public safety, energy production, and some identity and cultural issues. Embrace a substantive and rhetorical critique of the outsized political and economic influence of lobbyists, corporations, and the ultra-wealthy, while keeping two considerations in mind: First, voters' frustrations with the status quo are not the same as a desire for socialism. And second, criticizing the status quo is a complement to advocating for popular policies on the issues that matter most to the American people, not a substitute.

I've thought more about this and I think a mission for Cass where he was in a field leadership role would have been a great capstone to his arc
unavaleable.bsky.social Reconstructionist @unavaleable.bsky.social · May 14
another arc with Dedra hunting Luthen and Mon settling in Yavin would be great but not sure what Cass would get up to, maybe a mission with Melshi and K2? also could allow us to see whats going on with Mon's family

Apparently, NBA overtime on ESPN is sponsored by McDonald's. I wonder how that deal came to be, and also how it works. Do they pay per OT? Or did they pay a lump sum for all OTs?

Feels like we’re in a surreal political moment where our elites desperately want to capitulate to a despot but the aspiring dictator is so dumb and bad at things that we’re still kinda free despite the best efforts of all involved.

@mtsw.bsky.social theory of "Trump's policy is whatever the last person talked him into" vindicated
peark.es George Pearkes @peark.es · Apr 18
WSJ out with a tick tock on the tariff rollback* from April 9.

*sort of

www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
They needed to get the president alone. On April 9, financial markets were going haywire. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick wanted President Trump to put a pause on his aggressive global tariff plan. But there was a big obstacle: Peter Navarro, Trump's tariff-loving trade adviser, who was constantly hovering around the Oval Office. Navarro isn't one to back down during policy debates and had stridently urged Trump to keep tariffs in place, even as corporate chieftains and other advisers urged him to relent. And Navarro had been regularly around the Oval Office since Trump's "Liberation Day" event. So that morning, when Navarro was scheduled to meet with economic adviser Kevin Hassett in a different part of the White House, Bessent and Lutnick made their move, according to multiple people familiar with the intervention. They rushed to the Oval Office to see Trump and propose a pause on some of the tariffs —without Navarro there to argue or push back. They knew they had a tight window. The meeting with Bessent and Lutnick wasn't on Trump's schedule. The two men convinced Trump of the strategy to pause some of the tariffs and to announce it immediately to calm the markets. They stayed until Trump tapped out a Truth Social post, which surprised Navarro, according to one of the people familiar with the episode. Bessent and press secretary Karoline Leavitt almost immediately went to the cameras outside the White House to make a public announcement. "We needed everyone singing from the same song sheet," a person familiar with the matter said. The stock market had cratered after some of Trump's tariffs started to go into effect on April 2. The next week, an even more troubling sign had emerged: a selloff in Treasury bonds, normally a safe haven when markets are turbulent. The Truth Social post sent the stock market soaring and helped stabilize the Treasury market. Later that day, Trump said he made the decision because financial markets were "getting yippy" and because he was keyed into warning signs from the bond markets. Just hours earlier, he had told people in a separate Truth Social post to "stay cool," suggesting he might stay the course. A spokesperson for Bessent said "the president's team is working hard to implement the America First Trade Agenda for the American people. Those who aim to divide the president's team on trade seek to undermine our administration's goal of uplifting hardworking Americans." "More mischief from anonymous sources seeking to divide and conquer the trade team," Navarro said in a text message in response to a request for comment. White House spokesman Kush Desai said, "President Trump has assembled an all-star trade and economic team to implement his America First agenda and finally address our country's national emergency of persistent trade deficits. Every member of the Trump administration is playing from one playbook, President Trump's playbook, to level the playing field for our workers and industries and restore American Greatness." The alliance between Bessent and Lutnick illustrates how fast things can change inside Trump's White House. Bessent and Lutnick were locked in a messy public battle during the presidential transition when they were both vying for the Treasury secretary job. Bessent ended up winning out, over the objections of Elon Musk, but Lutnick was given the hefty "trade" portfolio as part of his consolation prize running the Commerce Department. On trade, however, there are numerous White House officials who have opinions and strategies, including Navarro, who learned much about White House maneuvering during his time in serving in Trump's first term.
