Thanks for the daily infusion of the liquified bugs and bats that comprise America 4/2. It keeps my activism motivated.

It's not too early for the Dems to start advertising their antidotes for every single and separate poison Trump, Musk, and the GOP flush into our drinking water. Every pronouncement should begin with "When Dems have the majority we will..." because it signals a unified front, it advertises what to expect, and it steals GOP thunder. I would also aim everything in the direction of repair, restore, and set the stage for America's young. Enumerate each antidote and stack them up like firewood. By the time the midterms arrive, our policies are visible and easily reviewed (We know Americans' attention span is roughly similar to the gestation period of spiders.) Each Dem can announce a response and gain visibility and attachment to a good antidote. This will provide a policy structure that voters can understand. Jeffries needs to put the numbers in a fishbowl and have each Dem take one and be responsible for the messaging as each new GOP affront goes public. Structure matters, which is what Tom gives us with his reporting. And, by dog, Bernie Sanders knows that folks stick with him as he enumerates, right?

(They still won't let me run the DNC.)

Nobody is running the DNC to give you the authority to run it. All we have are chickens running around with their heads cut off.

If I were younger I'd leap into the breach, but at 82 the best I can do is toddle into the breach.
