Molly, I know many progressives who LOVE and revere Newsom. He is fearless, articulate, compassionate, politically astute and he knows how to get things done! I've been listening to him for a long time and each word that comes from his mouth solidifies that belief. He is who we need to listen to and support. He will effectively fight pres Caligula. I also LOVE you and Andy. Long -time listener.

and laying the groundwork for even more extreme conduct. You reap what you sow to some degree. We are reaping what has been down in turning a blind eye to authoritarian, will to power, desire for dictatorship, racism, meanness, pathological lying and rampant propaganda. By not holding the first felon and his klan accountable, they have returned with a spirit to punish everyone they see as beneath them or their enemies. America played a game with the devil and the demons were unleashed.

I agree with much of Andy's final summations about truth, reconciliation and accountability. I disagree to some degree that Biden bears a lot of the blame. As president he sincerely wanted to bridge the divide and chasm created by the hyper partisan conduct and misconduct of the Republicans and Maga. It is Garland and people in the Senate and House who blocked or slow walked a lot. You cannot have reconciliation or forgiveness without accountability and repentance; otherwise, you are covering up

I know that it's a small thing, Molly, but ICE agents don't wear costumes. They were uniforms. They're law enforcement officers, not costume vigilantes.

Musk got vast subsidies from the U.S. government but claims he wants to cut costs. He's full of shit.
