Description

Tim, Sarah, and Sam Stein (filling in for JVL) take on the political stories dominating the headlines: — Mitch McConnell is alive and taking calls (maybe, probably?)—despite Laura Loomer’s reports to the contrary. — Platnerdämmerung; the enormous irresponsibility of the Platner candidacy will have real consequences for his movement and for the country; and the messy road ahead in Maine (even if Platner does the right thing and drops out.) — In the wake of the Platner debacle, irony is dead as Trump defenders trip over themselves to claim the moral high ground. Case in point: Kevin McCarthy. — Mallory McMorrow’s failed Michigan Senate campaign exemplifies the challenges of splitting the difference between the moderate and progressive factions of the Democratic Party. — Plus, the USMNT’s embarrassing loss to the waffle-eating Belgians in the World Cup Round of 16.

It really bothers me when the ex republicans never lose their criticism of the Democrat party. They know everything that should be done and how it should be done. Unfortunately their experience of how this should all work is what led to this moment. Thanks Republicans! New and old.

Voters don't know enough about democratic socialism to definitely say they don't like it. NOW, it's being called communism OR socialism, neither of which it is, and they’re believing it. 🙄😡
