On Friday, I joined Desmond Price of
for our weekly Substack live.And oh my was there a lot to discuss including:
If a judge does their job, are they at risk of kidnapping? Donald Trump sending the FBI to arrest a judge, who would not allow ICE to detain immigrants before they could have their day in court.
One of Trump’s executive draft order considers giving families a “baby bonus” of $5,000 to incentivize more people into having children…when we know this doesn’t even begin to cover the cost of delivery.
Too poor to pay your student loans? Too bad. Trump restarting student loan repayments - saying those who are unable to pay will have loans sent to collection agencies, tax returns withheld & wages garnished.
Vice-Chair of DNC threatens to spend $20 million to primary “safe” Democratic seats or Democrats that aren’t “meeting the moment.”
Pete Buttigieg goes on right-leaning podcast. Good strategy or not?

In this time of chaos and uncertainty, it is important that we remember we are a government of the people, by the people and FOR the people. And if those in power refuse to uphold and defend the Constitution — then it is our duty to remove them.
“Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends (life, liberty and pursuit of happiness), it is the RIGHT of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government.”
Let’s dream beyond this moment.
