We made it to Wednesday again! David Waldman can sit back with his mug of coffee, avocado toast with crispy marmot (always well-done!), secure in the assistance of KITM mid-week guests Greg Dworkin and Joan McCarter:
There are so many ways for Democrats to win in 2020 it’s hard to pick. Dems should go with populism—the real kind, not Trump’s scam. They should go with Nancy Pelosi up front, not sideline her. They should run on the legacy of the Obama administration… Ah, one candidate did figure that one out. Is Joe Biden’s great early polling actually great news for John McCain and the rest of the Republicans? Can only a new crush bring Democrats to the polls? Or, is this the year of policy and representation? By the way, Elizabeth Warrren unveiled another proposal, this time a plan to combat the opioid epidemic...
Meanwhile, the Trump administration will redefine who is poor, because cruelty is always the point.
Is Donald Trump history’s biggest loser, or most successful con man? Again, it looks like both are the case. The question is, what are we going to do about it? Is this more great news for Trump? Is impeachment more great news for Trump? It’s all great news—if you believe Fox News is great news.
Republicans seem a little nervous though, as they try to force the lid closed on Trump scandals. William Barr is left more exposed, and might have to go onto the chopping block. Time’s up. Let the contempt proceedings begin. Nancy Pelosi must set aside the politics of impeachment and focus on the constitutional imperative of it.
Joe Biden’s scandal, manufactured by Trump and friends, is already falling apart. Why TF did the New York Times help spread that? Jacob Wohl tries to create a fake counter protest to his own press conference.
Vaccination is too important to argue about with dummies. US pregnancy deaths are up, but go unnoticed weeks after delivery.
We remain under a continuous cloud of mass-shootings. 20 years after Columbine, a STEM school near Denver has more children shot and killed. Families moved there because they feared a shooting. Families everywhere fear a shooting.
