This is obviously right. A populist makeover of the Democratic Party is possible. The establishment is vulnerable. No one trusts it any more. A lot of regular Democrats are furious right now. The party will not be able to shove Newsom or some empty suit down their throat again.

The language of today’s Dem Party reminds me of the language of 1990 Berkeley campus politics when I was a student senator. Crazy that’s now mainstream Democratic dogma and that the party of Bill Clinton has forgotten how to talk with working class voters. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…

My friend ⁦Antonio Villaraigosa⁩ is running a smart gubernatorial campaign, raging against a machine that deserves to be raged against. latimes.com/politics/story…

The education parallel is cancelling “education reform” because “reform” implies change which upsets people who like the status quo. politico.com/news/magazine/…

Last week, Ben Rhodes and I did a munkdebates against Kevin Roberts and Kellyanne Conway on whether Trump is leading America into a new golden age. We won. This is from my closing statement. There’s nothing golden about a movement that bathes in gratuitous cruelty.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

In which Ben Austin pulls no punches: “The same crowd that covered up President Biden’s cognitive decline crafted his education policy.”

What a contrast: On the one hand, a grandiose spectacle in the nation's capital, a panorama of propaganda put on by an aspiring autocrat. On the other hand, thousands of assemblies of free citizens across the nation, celebrations of the proposition that here the people rule.

This is my op ed about how ⁦Bill Clinton⁩ and ⁦Barack Obama⁩’s education records are not just good for kids, they’re also a playbook to take back power and save democracy. thehill.com/opinion/534785…

Exhibit A for what’s wrong with blue state public education: instead of tightening accountability so that sexual predators are not teaching our children, LAUSD is issuing HALF A BILLION in bonds to fund abuse settlements. latimes.com/california/sto…

Too bad the United States doesn't have a 24/7 TV service in Farsi to counter the propaganda of the Islamic Republic and inform the people of Iran of the facts. Kari Lake, perhaps, we could call it the Voice of America. ift.tt/T05czwG

I hate Trump and Netanyahu and opposed both Iraq wars, but I think I support this strike on the nuclear facilities of this evil antisemitic regime.

California is the state where anything is truly possible with hard work and determination. But our future depends on our willingness to face our biggest challenges.

I have no tolerance for antisemitism masquerading as a geopolitical policy dispute. It is a cancer in my party. #NYCMayor
