Democrats, Take It From A Former Right Wing Culture War Practitioner: On The Transgender Issue, Most Americans Are With You
Decency and tolerance. Most Americans still side with basic human decency and tolerance on most policy issues. And Especially when it comes to the issue of transgender men & women. Most Americans oppose how House Republicans are treating their transgender Democratic colleague from Delaware. So come on Democrats, don’t shy away from the issue. Fight on this issue.

What About People Who Aren’t MAGA Right or Far Left? What Do They Do? A Conversation
I sat down with freelance opinion writer Kimberly Ross. She doesn’t belong to either side right now. She will rightly criticize both sides. We discussed what it feels like to not belong to a political team these days. And even though I help Democrats because I consider MAGA a unique threat, truthfully, I’m in the same lonely spot Kim is in Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dear Democrats: Don't Help Republicans
Trump was handed a great economy. And he’s destroying it. Nothing but chaos, confusion, and tariffs. And btw Democrats, do not bail Republicans out. They created this mess, let them deal with it. And what happened over the weekend happens in authoritarian regimes. It should not happen here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We Don’t Arrest/Deport People Here On Student Visas Who Peacefully Protest. That’s Not What America Is
Trump is suppressing speech, and he’s using immigration enforcement to suppress speech. He’s cracking down on international students who are here on student visas and who are protesting in support of Palestinians. He’s trying to arrest and deport them. I’m hugely pro-Israel, but that’s not right. And we should be bigger and better than that. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dear Democrats, Now Is Not The Time For Decorum & Civility
Ten democrats joined every Republican in the House to vote to censure the Democratic Congressman who interrupted Trump’s address the other night. That’s ten Democrats who don’t get how unprecedented and scary these times are. Decorum & civility ain’t gonna cut it Dems. You wanna preserve our democracy? You gotta put decorum & civility in the rear view mirror for awhile. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Thanks To Trump, Bigotry, Racism, Indecency, Cruelty, & Ignorance Are Now Cool
A Hispanic Member of Congress gave the Spanish language rebuttal to Trump’s address. The official House Republican Twitter account called him an “illegal immigrant.” Disgusting, cruel, ignorant…but hey, in today’s Trump era, that tweet will get a bunch of high fives. Trump has made it permissible for people to be their very worst. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A Confession: I Will NEVER Move Past January 6th. Never.
Trump gave a speech last night to a joint session of Congress. It was his first time in the House chamber, in the Capitol, post-January 6th. Remember January 6th? 4yrs and 2 months ago, Trump sent a mob into that chamber, into the Capitol to overthrow an American election. And last night he gave a speech there and people were supposed to listen to him and pay him some sort of respect? Never. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Congressional Republicans Are Going To Try To Hide. Don’t Let Them
House Republican leaders have told their members not to hold any more in person town halls. Because voters at these town halls have made clear they’re not happy with what Trump & Musk are doing. And some of these confrontations with Republicans have gone viral. We must not let House Republicans get away with this. We must demand they sit in front of their constituents and hear their concerns. That’s their job. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
