15. A couple great Hopium interviews

This one with AK State Chair Eric Croft a while back makes it very clear why supporting state parties is critical if we are to redeem our national soul.



And the following conversation between Stuart Stevens and Simon Rosenberg on 12/1 was a substantial, potentially pivotal discussion that provides direction on what we need to be pushing our Democratic electeds to step up on.

That is, to stop limiting themselves to "kitchen table" issues. There are more legs to the "stool."

More of our leaders need to get louder about the Un-American, Unpatriotic Self-dealing, Corruption, and Crimes being committed in plain sight by Noem, Patel, Bobby, Witkoff, Trump, and on and on. Weaken the regime by going after key figures, not just Trump. Criminal referrals. Call on the Senate to set up a task force akin to the House Democrats Litigation / Response Task Force.

They also talk about the importance of language. Framing the accusations against Republicans when you call. (They talk in more general terms, but we can benefit from listening to the way Stuart frames objections to specific actions.)

And, they put the magnitude of the treason in Witkoff's leaked phone call into perspective (add up the 10 worst scandals in our history and this is worse).
