Send us Fan MailTrump just exposed the filibuster scam.When the filibuster blocks health care, wages, voting rights, immigration reform, or labor protections, Republicans call it Senate tradition. But when it blocks Trump's election agenda, suddenly he wants it gone.Today we're breaking down how selective procedural compliance moves power away from the people and toward the executive. This is not just about Senate rules. It is about Article I, Article II, concentrated power, and who gets the rule versus who gets the workaround.I'll also connect this to my conversation with Cliff Schecter about Democrats asking permission from people who are already weaponizing the rules.Main question: Who benefits when Congress cannot act?Read more at The Coffman Chronicle and get the full show for paid subscribers.Rumble: https://rumble.com/v7a37ks-trump-exposes-the-filibuster-scam-tmp-1052.htmlThe Coffman Chronicle: https://www.thecoffmanchronicle.com/Pocket Constitution: https://thecoffmanchronicle.kit.com/pocket-constitutionYou're listening to today's Opening Argument from The Tony Michaels Podcast.

I sat down for my weekly Tequila Talk with Democratic strategist Cliff Schecter. We talked about the Senate race in Maine, the still pathetically weak Democratic Party leadership, what voters want from their candidates this year, and prospects for control of the Senate. Have a listen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Writer and media critic Cliff Schecter joins God for a blistering, hilarious, and furious tour through late-stage American politics. Starting with the firing of Pam Bondi and Fox News grotesqueries, they rip into the MAGA movement, the billionaire "predators" who own the system, and a corporate media that refuses to tell viewers the full story. Cliff traces his own trajectory—from New York kid to Democratic consultant who wrote ads for Biden in 2020—and explains why he walked away from the official party world to build independent platforms like Blue Amp.Â

The topic of the day? Destroy the oligarchy. It's either the Democrats hammer the billionaires legislatively or disaster is just a half-decade away. Starting now, economic populism is mandatory, cutting into the billionaire class's wealth, its immunity from the law, its exploitation of AI to eliminate jobs and hijack the economy, its linkage to predators like Jeffrey Epstein, and so much more. We're going full economic populism before it's too late. This is one of my favorite Cliff episodes. Support his Substack at blueamp.co.
