To state the obvious, it's not just about having a compelling economic populist message, it's about being a credible messenger. If you've spent your career catering to industry while hoovering up Super PAC dollars, your shiny new talking points won't matter much.
Joe Scarborough asks, "why is it that in the Democratic Party, the three most compelling figures" have been "the mayoral candidate [Zohran Mamdani], Bernie Sanders and AOC"? . "Why can't moderate Democrats. make that same compelling message?"

I recently re-watched Charlie Wilson’s War, which shows Wilson’s outrage at all the child amputees as a key moment solidifying his support for the Afghan resistance against the Soviets.

In response to countries seeking alternatives to the US's weaponized global financial hegemony, Trump threatened to even more aggressively weaponize the US's global financial hegemony, which only heightens the urgency of finding alternatives.
'Any Country aligning themselves with the Anti-American policies of BRICS, will be charged an ADDITIONAL 10% Tariff. There will be no exceptions to this policy,' Trump posted on his Truth Social network late on Sunday, without elaborating.

We need more leaders talking this way. The entire point of the health insurance industry, literally its sole function, is to extract profit from your injuries and illnesses. It’s a ridiculous way to provide health care.
$17.99/month is already too much for Netflix. Now imagine after binging every episode of Bridgerton, they charge you an extra $19.99 to watch the season finale. Well, that's how our healthcare system works.

Consider how much time and energy has been spent by US policymakers shadow boxing China’s power in the Middle East when in reality Xi seems happy to sit back and watch the US bleed credibility and resources in the region for yet another decade.
NEW: China and Russia keep Iran at arm's length during the crisis. They didn't rush to aid Iran as it was being pummeled by the US and Israel. Is there actually an "axis" among these nations and North Korea, as some US and UK officials said? Story:
