Why did Americans elect Trump to steal from us again?
Yesterday Cryn Johannsen (https://substack.com/profile/148826259-cryn-johannsen) and Mark Cohen of Not On Our Watch - 501c(3) (https://substack.com/profile/503873225-not-on-our-watch-501c3) invited me on their livestream to talk about Trump’s corruption and why Americans elected this orange turd to steal from us again. We cover cyrpto, bribery, pardons, Julia Azari (https://goodpoliticsbadpolitics.substack.com/)’s book Backlash Presidents (https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691246956/backlash-presidents?srsltid=AU7gw4VyoPVXb_50zCicASsk-fwjI5QtJ0wSi3H_XthZZwufSLqWllTH) and more!

Is Musk a Political Genius? I Am Skeptical!
LOLGOP (https://thecause.substack.com/) asked me to join him yesterday for a live chat about Elon Musk’s role in the 2024 election. He thinks Musk maybe swung the election; I’m more skeptical!
We also talked about Musk’s horrific genocide via the destruction of USAID and why demanding more from Republicans is good and necessary even if Republicans rarely will respond.
And other things! It was a fun talk. I hope some of you check it out.
Also! My sale is still up! It’s 40% off, $30/year. I can only keep writing/commenting with your support—so please consider coming on board if you value my work.

Yes, there actually is good news
This week I subbed in for Aaron Rupar on his weekly livechat with David Nir. Joe Sudbury joined us as well, and we talked about Joni Ernst dropping out, Ds overperforming in special elections, maybe some R resistance to RFK, Pritzker fighting, and other maybe positive things.
And you can see me proving I’m neurodivergent by embarrassingly touching my face in the thumbnail. sigh.
Anyway! Thanks to Joe Sudbay (https://substack.com/profile/603552-joe-sudbay) and David Nir (https://substack.com/profile/214649590-david-nir) for having me on, and I hope you all enjoy the discussion!
