I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

When a politician puts a criminal back on the street - and they commit new crimes, that is usually headline news in our "law and order" press. But pardoned J6 defendants commiting multiple crimes doesn't even merit a line on the front page of the NY Times.

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials. I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

Polls only tell part of the story. After all, Zohran and the half a million New Yorkers surprised the polls before. To make sure there isn't an upset and Zohran wins, we need to recapture the same grassroots energy that beat Cuomo before. It's time to lock in and DREAM.
