Trump often lies about Democrats giving healthcare to undocumented immigrants. In California, Newsom actually did it. And defends it. "I'm proud of that. I believe in universal health care." But, he says, "we failed on the border. We need to own up to that."

"Economic justice is mentioned 3,000 times in our Scriptures, both the New Testament and the Hebrew Scriptures. This is such a core part of our tradition, and it’s nowhere to be seen in Christian nationalism or on the religious right." - James Talarico

Lovely riff from Naomi Klein on what it means to “build a more welcoming left” - and where you can see it already happening.

If liberals do not want Americans to turn to the false promise of strongmen, they need to offer the fruits of effective government. But that means admitting where the governments they run have gone wrong.

“I think what Americans intuitively get better than their political elites, their national security elites and even some of their media is this: War is terrible. War has risks - and even if it’s well intentioned on paper, leads to bad outcomes for the Americans who have to fight in it, the American taxpayers who pay for it, and the people on the other end of the war, whom you say you’re trying to help.” - Ben Rhodes

Last week, Ben Rhodes and I did a munkdebates against Kevin Roberts and Kellyanne Conway on whether Trump is leading America into a new golden age. We won. This is from my closing statement. There’s nothing golden about a movement that bathes in gratuitous cruelty.

I’ve not been taking the Trump third-term talk very seriously. But Kate Shaw is, and she knows a helluva lot more about the Court than I do.

Democrats still believe the type of attention you get is the most important thing. Republicans now understand that the volume of attention you get is the most important thing. Absolutely loved this conversation with Chris Hayes.
