dems serious about winning really have no choice but to seriously embrace antitrust reform and challenge corporate power, because their failure to do so earnestly opened the door to phony ass authoritarian pseudo-populism
Pretending to challenge corporate power has been one of the motivating points of the Trump platform. If someone did it for real, that would really be something.
The Democratic party would win elections repeatedly if they competently challenged corporate power.

The thing Sacks is mad about is a potential wealth tax which only impacts those with assets over $1 billion. That will impact very few actual people in Silicon Valley.
FWIW I have some issues with the actual proposal, but the idea that it means Silicon Valley "is for dinner" is nonsense.

Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

Denmark lost more troops per capita in the post 9/11 war on Afghanistan. Saying they “are not a good ally” because they won’t surrender their territories to the US is lunacy. We are betraying our allies to satisfy the whims of a would-be Emperor for whom the US is not enough.
They’re again advocating against Denmark when it comes to Greenland
