Hi Bill - As always, on the mark! Thanks for calling attention to the efforts of Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) at Talking Points Memo. The article you linked to is gated but I was inspired enough to become a paid subscriber and I'm glad I did. We can't rely on free and corporate-funded media to tell us what's going on. That's why I subscribe to you on SubStack and now to TPM as well. We must ask every senate hopeful Dem who asks for our movement's support to commit to ending the filibuster. Our strategy should be: #winthemidterms, #endthefilibuster, #expandSCOTUS, #DCstatehood -- it's a big, bold agenda but I fear anything less will fail to restore our flailing democracy.
Yes! Too often there’s just a sense of defeat associated with policy decisions the public actually hates…. Also, I think there’s too much “navel-gazing” at how “this” could have happened, and not enough organizing around doing something about it now…with the assumption that this president and his administration will be no help….

Good analysis but unfortunate link to Josh Marshall, where you are invited to pay urban democrat prices for a subscription. ☹️
I think that if Democrats and their promises are our best hope of reversing these terrible decisions that despair is an appropriate response.
Yes. We must get out the vote.
