Deportation: The Facts. The Truth

Our immigration system is broken. Been broken for a long time. Trump & the GOP demagogue the issue (I used to as well), and Democrats have ignored the issue. Trump is promising to deport 15 million or so people who are in this country illegally. He won't. He just wanted to be able to say that in the campaign. But...we should be prepared for him to try.

  • What's next for the Democrats? A conversation with Mike Madrid

    32:21|
    Mike Madrid and I got together on Substack Live to discuss the current political landscape in America, the importance of engagement, strategic messaging, and the need for the Democratic Party to refocus its efforts. We also talk about the challenges posed by figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk
  • Yes, Trump Lies When He Speaks. But Democrats Avoid Speaking

    28:31|
    Democrats need to learn from Trump. Trump puts himself in front of a camera every day. Because this is all just a show to Trump. And Trump had always been about the marketing. That’s it. And when he’s in front of the camera, he lies. All the time. But Democrats have missed the boat here. They’re still playing by the old, cautious politician rules. They’re afraid of the open give and take. That’s gotta change. Fast.
  • James Carville Is Wrong. Dead Wrong

    46:28|
    I’m so sick and tired of the old establishment media putting these old establishment Democratic consultants on to bestow us with their old establishment wisdom. Fuck that. These guys are out of touch and Democrats need to stop listening to them. Democrats shouldn’t “roll over and play dead right now as Carville said. They should fight.
  • What Should Democrats Do? Run To The Left Or Run To The Center? A Conversation

    46:28|
    I sat down with progressive writer and thinker Jeet Heer to discuss what Democrats need to do to pull together an anti-Trump majority and win again. Trump didn’t win by a lot, but Democrats have real issues and need to make real decisions. Jeet and I don’t really agree on the direction Dems must go, but we agree Dems need to win. Because MAGA is a real threat to this country.
  • Trump Is Making America Less Safe & Less Secure Every Single Day

    35:36|
    Because Trump believes our FBI, and DOJ, and Military, and intelligence community are all the enemy, he’s put people in charge of these agencies & departments who want to destroy them. From Trump’s perspective, it makes all the sense in the world. But from America’s perspective, it makes us way less safe and less secure. But we shouldn’t be surprised. He told us he’d do this.
  • I’m An American. I Have A Right To Call Elon Musk A Dick

    39:19|
    Earlier this week, JD Vance criticized our European allies for getting weak on protecting free speech. Two days later, JD’s administration sent a threatening letter to a Congressman hinting at a DOJ investigation into his criticisms of Elon Musk & Trump. This is ugly government free speech intimidation. Hey JD, what about free speech in America?
  • Don’t Blame Trump For Lying All The Time. Blame His Supporters

    38:21|
    Trump lies almost every time he opens his mouth. And I stopped saying shame on Trump for lying a long time ago. Now I say shame on his supporters for allowing Trump to lie to them. Trump’s lying is on them, not him. And btw, We Americans will never get back a healthy democracy if we don’t demand a semblance of truth from the politicians who represent us.
  • Our World War II Veterans Must Be Weeping This Morning

    36:41|
    Trump again yesterday blamed Ukraine for starting the war. Trump has made clear to the world that he stands with Putin & the world’s other dictators. He’s made clear that he does NOT stand with NATO & the free world. How horrible. And…how did Elon get so wealthy when he’s so damn ignorant? Maybe because he’s so damn dishonest. And…another oops from DOGE.
  • Putin Has Something On Trump. He Always Has

    40:27|
    The U.S. and Russia met in Saudi Arabia today to discuss resolving Putin’s war against Ukraine. Ukraine wasn’t there. Yes, you read that right. Trump continues to do exactly what Putin wants him to do, and by this point nobody should wonder why. The answer is obvious. It’s always been obvious. Trump works for Putin because Putin has something on Trump. That’s always been the case.
