"Democrats in Congress, even if they really want to do things, what you can do in the minority is quite limited,” strategist Arkadi Gerney observed. “But these governors have the opportunity to actually run their states very differently from how the president is running the country.” 🧾 is.gd/eKUbTRi
Blue states are finally learning what red states have known all along: you don’t need federal permission to govern.

Remembering today when pro-GOP media erupted with outrage over Kamala Harris' warning that Trump had plans to militarize the national guard and deploy them on the streets of US cities. Indeed, he had such plans. And now he's implementing them.
The Blanche interview with Trump’s friend and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell is meant to do exactly what Bill Barr’s “summary report” of the Mueller investigation did.
It’s an obvious effort to spin damning news before it comes out, and yes, the lazier pundits will fall for it again.
It’s clear that the main goal of the Maxwell interview was to get her to say that she didn’t see Trump do anything wrong.
