substack.com/@demwinsmedi... Yes @petebuttigieg.bsky.social. I love you. Want to vote for you. And… you have got to have a story about how you will RAISE WAGES for the American Middle. I say it has to be a pro-business industrial policy plus education reform to bring hi skills. What do you say?

Guess what! He never did!

“An advocate of love, universal values….the only God is Truth”. Sounds absolutely like Faith to me , properly understood. I read you as a person of the very greatest faith! Please roll on!

Sorry, but I think this is a very blinkered neo-Marxist view. Of course we have male dominance in many fields-and our job is to evolve out of that. The idea that “the men” somehow monolithically invented religion to “control women” seems paranoid. Monoliths “the men” and “the women” do not exist.

Trump is hopeless when it comes to Putin - whom he both fears and admires as the Renfield to Putin's Dracula - but he has no effective national security or defense team around him to pick up the slack and actually run anything like an actual foreign policy. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Save and share. Maybe email or tag Byron Donalds and Kash Patel.

Rand Paul (R-KY) going off on his own party.

This is a shockingly mistaken understanding of due process by Stephen Miller. It is likely this misunderstanding that is informing the President’s misunderstanding.

What NONE of these people have is a plan to raise wages for the working middle class. I say the answer is industrial policy plus education reform. Trump owns this space with tariffs - crap policy but Dems need a clear answer. Get with it #leadersoftheopposition open.substack.com/pub/thinkbig...

Damn right. Any executuve order targeting one organisation for political disagreement is patently illegal and unconstitutional. Shame on the others firms who have caved to Trump. The Supreme Court should confirm, shameful other agreements be rescinded. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

A vision of the future: in every country, there is a partnership among business, government and education to foster great companies offering hi-skill, high wage jobs in a socially responsible way, and to teach and train citizens to claim those jobs. #dumpTrump

A vision of the future: the President of the United States truly believes in, honours the constitution & the rule of law. Congress passes the laws & the administration administers! them. If the President wants to see a new law, he or she proposes it to Congress, seeks to convince them to pass it!

A vision of the future: in the US, we have a partnership of government, business and education to welcome business investment, leading to loads of hi-wage, hi-skill jobs with education and training to help our citizens fill those jobs. All in the context of free markets and international free trade.

A vision of the future: the US government stands strong against aggression, especially by totalitarian fascist powers, and would never validate that aggression. And indeed, our own government is not in the hands of totalitarian fascist powers. #dumpTrump #theOpposition

“The point is this: any expression of religion worth its salt will awaken followers to the mysterious fulness that lies at the heart of the human soul.” New post on my Substack - open.substack.com/pub/markvern...

A vision of the future: our President appoints only highly qualified public servants to high office. They have minds of their own and give him insightful and valuable advice. They are free, even encouraged to disagree. They hold their oaths of office sacred. #dumpTrump #leadersoftheopposition

Agreed @petebuttigieg.bsky.social. But please focus on winning elections. Right now Trump owns the space advocating for higher earnings for working people. You need a story here. I say a hi-wage industrial policy and education reform. What do you say? substack.com/@petebuttigi...

@sanders.senate.gov I love your soul, your passion, your commitment. You’re a great American. And you’re right about working people. But what’s needed is not a min wage hike but a pro-business industrial policy to bring in hi-wage jobs and education reform to train for them. Ditch the socialism.

This is deranged. Jan. 6 defendants were repped by one of the best public defender offices in the U.S. They were more likely to be released pretrial & got comparatively light sentences. SCOTUS threw out a bunch of convictions, which almost never happens. They got gold-plated due process!

I agree with those who say Harvard and others in academia are awash in neo-Marxist “critical theory” blather and that this situation should be rebalanced. But bending knee to Trump’s fascism is not the way to change. Organically, from the inside of the community is. Bravo, Harvard.

Be like Harvard, not like Columbia. Be like Costco, not like Target. Be like Perkins Coie not like Paul Weiss. Courage is not easy, it can be costly but the stakes are existential. Show up on the right side of history or forever be a footnote to cowardice. Disdain has no statute of limitations.

Anti-Trump is not enough, and I am as #antiTrump as you can get. We lost on that in 2024, will lose again in 2026, 2028. We need a positive message for #theworkingmiddle. How will we raise their earnings? Get with it ##leadersoftheopposition!

Happy #Easter Weekend! 🤣

He would have never been appointed by a president who cared about our military. He’s a disgrace to the people in uniform who serve www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

You could be a powerful voice @jbpritzker.bsky.social, but you need a positive message to #theworkingmiddle to win. Needs to be a pro-business industrial policy and education reform to create hi-wage jobs and skills to match. Https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/20/pritzker-tktktk-00296824

The focus here on industrial policy is good … and, it’s not about tariffs except in exceptional cases. What’s needed is industrial policy that encourages investment, brings hi-wage jobs, and educational transformation to teach skills for those jobs . Not tariffs. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/o...

Amen to all that, @adamkinzinger.bsky.social

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

"What the U.S. is doing now is not reform. It is rejecting the very system it created." - Singapore's Prime Minister Lawrence Wong (April 8, 2025)

@govandybeshear.bsky.social great comments on the Kentucky economy. Are you the one to lead #theOpposition to have a positive message (not just Anti-Trump) for #theworkingmiddle? I suggest industrial policy, free trade and education to raise wages. No tariffs! www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Yes indeed @corybooker.com. And…#theOpposition needs a positive offer for #theworkingmiddle. Not just anti-Trump but how we will get that group higher incomes. Trump owns the space now with stupid tariffs. I say the answer is industrial policy and education for skills. What do you say?

Important part of SCOTUS opinion rejects Trump DOJ position: "AEA detainees must receive notice after the date of this order that they are subject to removal under the Act...within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief...before such removal occurs"

bsky.app/profile/chri... Is this for real? Or an AI creation? I pray it’s for real. “He did not know what he had signed. … we’re in serious trouble. Who is running the country?” Mike Johnson?

“Trump really believes what he’s selling. He’s wrong, but he believes it. These people (Republican officeholders and pundits) are just feckless toadies willing to say the most ignorant things to please their dear leader. Profiles in fecklessness.” Clifford Asness, Republican donor, on X.

“I don’t want to live under emergency rule. I don’t want to live where my representatives cannot speak for me and have a check and balance on power.” - Sen. Rand Paul, Rep. - KY. You don’t say, Senator. Would only take a few colleagues to turn the tide. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

You betcha. Great shot. Hit the middle of the foot spot on. Many bones shattered. @corybooker.com

“My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who and how you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness. Continue to allow humor to lighten the burden of your tender heart.” -Maya Angelou Happy birthday, Maya Angelou.

Completely right @adamkinzinger.bsky.social. As any decent economist or economic adviser knows. Sad there are none of those in the Trump administration. Certainly not behind the Resolute Desk. And clumsy, ham-fisted tariffs just destroy value everywhere, raise prices, destroy competitiveness.

“Economists say the rise of free trade may be irreversible, its benefits so powerful that the rest of the world finds a way to keep the system going, even without its central player.” Trump’s idiocy will only isolate US and make us uncompetitive. Disastrous. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/w...

Very kind of you @gdad1x7.bsky.social. Many thanks.

One more voice: the tariffs are a disaster. May save a few jobs for a little while but many more in export industries will be lost. Meanwhile everything in America will cost more than everywhere else and American competitiveness completely destroyed. Not to mention ruined relationships globally.

America just shot itself in the nuts to “own the libs”

Sam Harris: “He is now the primary offender on planet Earth: Elon Musk. … it is hard to think of a person who is doing more harm to global culture at this moment than he is.”

I’m sure I disagree with Don Bacon on many things, but as a fellow conservative and former Republican, it’s great to see a Republican congressman say out loud (to Trump) that the USA must oppose Putin and fascism. Bravo this one! www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/o...

The market’s sagacious judgment on Trump’s economic “policies”(really not remotely worthy of that name) www.nytimes.com/2025/03/30/b...

The exact opposite of making America great! Disastrous and totally shameful. Go @adamkinzinger.bsky.social.

He is so right! Outrage. JD Vance (Trump too, more so) is an absolute disgrace to everything America has stood for for 250 years.
