"If hope and change becomes more of the same again, we're going to get worse than Trump".
-- @davidsirota

I agree with Sirota, the path to saving US democracy is #EconomicPopulism -- what #RoKhanna calls Economic Patriotism . I look forward to seeing how the NYC mayor and Virginia & New Jersey's governors fulfill their economic promises.

Good convo about lessons to learn from the #election2025 .

> Our fear is that this billionaire-backed project is being explicitly used to undermine the kind of populist rebrand necessary to shed Democrats’ reputation as feckless cowards who can’t be trusted to fight for working people—to swap out a villainization of corporate elites that evokes FDR with a demonization of bureaucracy, regulation, and red tape that lends credibility to Elon Musk

“Any Democrat condemning Green’s protest or voting to censure him should know no peace. Their constituents should be ceaselessly demanding to know what they are doing to protect health care for the poor, working class, disabled, and elderly — and why their elected officials thought it was a good use of their time to condemn their colleague who was standing up for exactly such policies.”

“The February employment report is the first of the Trump administration. While we are not likely to pick up much of the effect of the DOGE cuts, we should see some impact. ... However, we are likely to see an effect on the hiring side. Many businesses have put hiring plans on hold, as they wait to see what DOGE will try to cut and what the courts will uphold.”

“[The firing of a sitting board member] was less expected, especially given that there were enough vacant seats on the board to allow Trump to nominate a Republican majority, according to Bloomberg. The board is now without a quorum and can no longer issue decisions.” 🤬
