David Waldman is back, like Mondays, but more pleasant, except that it is still Monday, with him in it. Greg Dworkin floats in on his Big Raft O'MFG X links! Nope... I won't. Blue Sky, Threads or Daily Kos. Somebody's techwiz has to fix this, not me. You know who's been smelling a little Vichy lately? Never Trumpers, reliable opiate to Dems until D's Lame Duck in Perpetuity term… are now feeling like moving back with their ex... Bye, Felicias. As our country advances to a stage 4, it becomes a bit harder to laugh about it. So then, let's avert our gaze and instead focus on the ridiculous cabinet nominees, brought to you by recess appointments, brought to you by our present, not even future Trump SCOTUS. Lowest hanging fruit in this regard might be considered Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth, although there is recent evidence mounting for hanging him higher. Drugging and raping allegations have surfaced, although Pete himself will tell you that if you drug them first, it isn't rape, and if they were paid to forget, it didn't happen. Pete is filled with Christian goodness; it says so right on his label. The difference between 2016 and 2024 is that this time, the Oval Office orgies will be LIT. Markwayne Mullin used to think Matt Gaetz was a sexual predator but has since evolved to see Matt as more of a sexual colleague. As Health Secretary, RFK Jr. will probably ban synthetics at future White House bacchanals. Bob is against unhealthiness and will be sending anyone he finds hopped up to labor camps.

Hillary Clinton called Pres. Donald Trump's NY event a “reenactment” of the infamous 1939 American Nazi Party Rally because it was held at the same Madison Square Garden venue – a criticism that was echoed by CNN, MSN, Daily Kos, The New Republic, and VP Candidate Tim Walz. Strangely, they were silent about their opposition to the venue when it hosted the Democratic National Convention with Pres. Bill Clinton in 1992, Pres. Franklin D.

In this bonus episode of Hawk Droppings, Hawk discusses the importance of swing states in past and upcoming elections, particularly focusing on Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. He emphasizes the significance of these states in determining election outcomes and notes the presence of Democratic leadership in key positions, potentially hindering Trump's efforts to challenge election results, as he attempted to do in 2020. Hawk also delves into the reliability of polling data, citing an article from Daily Kos that critiques the media's reliance on polls and argues that polling methods are flawed and becoming less accurate. He highlights discrepancies between polling data and actual voting behavior, suggesting that Trump's support may be overstated in polls due to various factors, including the inability to reach representative sample groups.Hawk's discussion provides a nuanced perspective on the current political landscape, challenging conventional wisdom about polling data and offering a more optimistic outlook for Democratic prospects in upcoming elections. He encourages listeners to consider alternative sources of information and cautions against over-reliance on polling data to predict election outcomes. Overall, the episode serves as a reminder to critically evaluate polling data and media narratives while highlighting potential trends that may impact future elections.

Women's Magazine hosts Margo Okazawa-Rey and Jovelyn Richards talk with award-winning free lance journalist and author Thandisizwe Chimurenga about her  collection of interviews in the book  “Some of Us Are Brave: Interviews and Conversations With Sistas in Life and Struggle” and her second volume “Some Of Us Are Brave (Vol 2): Interviews and Conversations with Sistas in Life and Struggle” two books that counter the  white supremacy and cis-heterosexual patriarchy (and by extension, misogyny) of our society that  by definition belittles and ignores the voices of women of color in general and Black women in particular (misogynoir). Part of the corrective to white patriarchal supremacy is  the centering and airing of Black women's voices through Some of Us Are Brave: A Black Women's Radio Program that aired on Pacifica-Los Angeles (KPFK 90.7 FM) from 2003 until 2011. The program covered a myriad of issues by amplifying the voices of a broad cross-section of Black women. Some of those voices have been preserved as transcripts and they primarily make up this work. Based on interviews with Asata Shakur, Barbara Ramsy, Carol Boyce-Davies, Euzhan Palcy, Michelle Alexander, Evelyn White, Paula Giddings, Pearl Cleage, Ramona Africa and Sisters on the Run.   Thandisizwe Chimurenga is an award-winning, freelance journalist based in Los Angeles, CA. She has written for New America Media; the Los Angeles Watts Times, Sentinel and Wave newspapers; the Final Call; Black Agenda Report; Ebony; CounterPunch, Truth-Out and Daily Kos. She is a former radio reporter for the KPFK Evening News (Pacifica-Los Angeles) and Free Speech Radio News (FSRN). A creator or co-creator of independent, grassroots media (newspapers, cable tv, radio) for over 20 years, her activism has ranged from electoral organizing; anti-police terror work; freedom for political prisoners and prisoners of war; to organizing against violence against women.

David Waldman is envious of the old Daily Show schedule. At least he's not aiming for Rachel Maddow's “any Monday that isn't a holiday” timetable. Anyhow, we aren't giving him either, he still has to come in on Fridays. Ace KITM Correspondent Rosalyn MacGregor reports on the continuing far-right takeover of Ottawa County, Michigan. They are battling COVID restrictions by cutting out half of the county health department budget. Senator Dianne Feinstein has died at 90. Feinstein, the longest-serving woman in the Senate, had a significant career in politics and will be fondly remembered by many, and not fondly remembered by a few who will be soon forgotten. Prison populations are aging out also, with the growing rate of inmate dementia raising questions of what the purpose is of housing criminals who don't remember why they are there.  TFFG won't try to move Georgia charges to federal court, so he must have something worse up his sleeve. Donald Trump is like a video game boss, it might take a thousand guilty verdicts to take him down, but it'll be worth it to see the game end. As Donald himself will tell you, when that happens no one will be more heartbroken than the mainstream press. What Trump wants, Trump gets, and he really wanted that shiny new gun at the SC gun shop.  New Jersey Democratic Rep. Andy Kim has announced that he will run against Senator Bob Menendez. Daily Kos endorses Andy Kim. Bob Menendez is just out there fighting the Man. We have talked about Leonard Leo a lot, finally others might be also.  At least someone is enforcing the Senate dress code. The movie Killers of the Flower Moon tells the true story of the abuse and murder of Osage Nation people by White inhabitants. Spoiler alert: The white folks get away with it.

HAIL MOLECH! Massive Dem win in New Hampshire + redistricting w/Stephen Wolf

We did it! And it's all thanks to Molech! We're devoting this week's episode of "The Downballot" to giving praise to the dark god himself after New Hampshire Democrat Hal Rafter won a critical special election over Republican Jim Guzofski, the loony toons pastor who once ranted that liberals make "blood sacrifices to their god Molech." Democrats are now just one seat away from erasing the GOP's majority in the state House and should feel good about their chances in the Granite State next year. Republicans, meanwhile, can only stew bitterly that they lack the grassroots fundraising energy provided by Daily Kos, which endorsed Rafter and raised the bulk of his campaign funds via small donations.We're also joined by Daily Kos Elections' own Stephen Wolf to update us on the ongoing litigation over Alabama's congressional map. In an unusual move, the court's appointed expert invited the public to submit their own proposals as he prepares replacement maps, so Wolf took him up on the offer and drew two plans of his own. Wolf describes those plans in detail and sings the praises of Dave's Redistricting App, the invaluable free tool that has allowed ordinary citizens to participate in the redistricting process in ways never before possible.Link: “Campaign for Choice: Inside the 1990 effort that's protecting Nevada abortion access today,” Nevada Independent.Transcript can be found here.

Chuck Todd was uncharacteristically animated on This Week as he used Vivek Ramaswamy's book Nations of Victims against him as it proved him a complete fraud. Markos Moulitsas, the founder of DailyKos, challenged Pat McCrory, the former governor of North Carolina and proponent of the No Labels third-party movement, during a segment on Meet the Press. McCrory claimed that 65% of Americans are dissatisfied with the two major parties and are seeking a third-party alternative. He emphasized that the No Labels movement is gaining momentum.  Moulitsas questioned the legitimacy of No Labels, asking what issues it stands for and pointing out that the group avoids taking positions on controversial subjects like abortion. He argued that No Labels is a "movement that says we stand for nothing." Markos also raised questions about the transparency and funding of the No Labels movement, suggesting that their goal is not to advance public interests but to slow down the shift towards more progressive policies in America. The Daily Kos founder emphasized that current progressive policies, particularly those supported by the Democratic Party, align with what a majority of Americans want, contrary to the No Labels narrative that a third party is necessary. It's worth noting that this interaction is a compelling example of the growing tension between grassroots progressive movements and more centrist or corporate-funded initiatives like No Labels. Moulitsas' questions shine a light on the vague mission of No Labels, which presents itself as a cure for partisanship but avoids taking a stance on issues that matter to Americans. These "centrist" or "moderate" organizations often find financial backing from wealthy donors who have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo, which Moulitsas correctly points out. They are trying to will a mythical center into existence to protect an abusive and greedy class. It's critical for activists and politically engaged citizens to scrutinize these movements carefully, as they can serve as tools to dilute the push for meaningful change. They not only maintain the status quo but hurt the working class. They are well funded and message in a manner that confuses many into voting against their own interest. I had an extensive interview with Markos at Netroots Nation 2023, where we discussed this issue and many others. It is one that Democrats and Progressives need to watch here. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/politicsdoneright/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/politicsdoneright/support
