Mike Johnson is racing to shut the business of the House down to avoid a vote on releasing the Epstein files. Trump's own criminal lawyer, who's moonlighting as deputy attorney general, will be minding the matter of Ghislaine Maxwell. And Texas is looking to squeeze out some more House seats to try to protect Trump from having to be held accountable on Epstein. Has any other politician ever acted so guilty? But in this moment, the Dems are finally bringing a gun to a gunfight. And for the midterms, they need to commit to Benghazi-style hearings on the contents of the files—and the Republican cover-up. Plus, securing the border without a terror campaign, and recruiting candidates to fill out a bigger Democratic tent. Neera Tanden, at the Center for American Progress, joins Tim Miller. show notes CAP's new immigration policy platform, co-authored by Neera Life insurance is never cheaper than it is today.

Violence is in the air after Luigi Mangione assassinated CEO Brian Thompson and became a hero of the Left. It's in the air by politicians who now want protesters to get messy, to get bloody. All for a necessary photo op, they believe will finally, at long last, turn the public against Donald Trump.Mangione, as it turns out, was a useful weapon in this war. Back in December, novelist and co-host of America This Week, Walter Kirn, foresaw the connection and predicted the rise of a young, charismatic populist. Sound familiar?Kirn saw something much bigger. He could see the connection between what Mangioni represented to the Left and the gathering storm that would ultimately find its way toward Zohran Mamdani and the current wave of populist revolutionaries.From the New York Post:The NCRI study traces the cultural shift back to the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, allegedly by Luigi Mangione, in December 2024. What followed, researchers say, was a viral wave of memes that turned Mangione into a folk hero.With Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom in California, and Mamdani in New York vowing to obstruct ICE, we can see a culture already defined by political violence rising to new heights either to get a photo op that depicts Trump as an authoritarian fascist, or to start a stand-off with the military, one that could go down in the history books.But as with all of the pet causes by the Democrats, this one goes against public opinion, just as their support of biological men playing against women in sports goes against it. Most Americans are in favor of deporting illegal immigrants.The question now isn't whether there will be violence as ICE continues to find and deport as many illegal immigrants as possible, but how bad the violence will be. What is a cause worth fighting and dying for? From Ben Shapiro:What they hope the violence will do is shift public opinion back in their favor. But they've never learned the lessons of the past, why Trump won in 2016, and why he just won again. For the “resistance,” there is no third option where they realize they're the problem and reverse course. Instead, they double down on everything they've already been doing for the last ten years, which has only resulted in Trump becoming more powerful. The Power of StoryThe more people believe in a shared story, the stronger the movement. Our story? We'd solved America's problems—maybe the world's. Racism, along with every other "ism" and "phobe," was the enemy. Eradicate it, craft a language that welcomes everyone, and we'd be healed.Healed from what? The scars of our 1970s childhoods were shaped by the reckless "Me Generation." We emerged into the self-help era as victims or abusers, our lives battered by addiction and trauma. Entire industries sprang up to mend our wounds.We sought salvation in the self-help aisles of bookstores, therapy sessions, medications, and Oprah's group chat every day at 3pm. Relationships crumbled—too many men were toxic or narcissistic. We studied attachment theory, embraced cognitive therapy, and chased perfection: the perfect parenting, car, words, diet, causes, schools. Our children became extensions of our quest, expected to embody that same flawless ideal.When they fell short, we fed them into the self-help machine to mold them into better versions of ourselves, even medicating them to make them more perfect - a practice that would lead us all too easily into “gender affirming care,” the greatest medical scandal in recent history. What we really needed was a higher purpose, a unifying movement. That arrived with Barack Obama, whose Hope and Change brought us together. To us, he was perfect, and even more than that, he was a perfect reflection of the America we wished we had. By then, thanks to the rise of the internet, social media, and smartphones, we had control and influence over nearly every aspect of American society. Why not use the new frontier of the internet to remake the America we wanted? Why not build our Shining Woketopia on the Hill? And so it was written, and so it was done. We closed ourselves off from the part of America that didn't share our beliefs, and over time, we forgot it even existed. Trump's shocking win marked the moment the dream was punctured and reality flooded in. A revolution by “we the normal.”Trump represented everything we believed was wrong with our country - he epitomized all of the bad things we complained about - racism, misogyny, sexual harassment, sexual assault. It wasn't just that he offended our god and our King when he challenged Obama's birthplace. It was that he said whatever he wanted to say, and in our Woketopia, then and now, that is strictly forbidden.Language must be curated, softened, and made more polite — a form of Newspeak for the modern age. But the flip side of that was people who were too fragile to accept the truth—truth in words, truth in politics, truth in comedy, truth in art, truth in science, truth in elections.And if words are violence, if words cause staffers at the New York Times to feel unsafe, if movies like Gone with the Wind need trigger warnings, there would be no surviving Trump and the rise of free speech in a culture that no longer believed in it.But violence turns out to be, for the Left, the answer to the fear inside them they can't control, like dogs or bears or snakes who lash out when they feel cornered and threatened.A History of ViolenceWhat drove the early violence by the Left was the commonly held belief that Trump was a racist and his border policies were rooted in the Right's desire to rid this country of Black and Brown people. Thus, when mobs acted out, like they did in 2015 and throughout Trump's first term, it was justified. Racism was the ultimate sin, like being an accused witch in Salem or a Communist in 1950s America.Prominent Democrats pushed out the idea, which was then echoed and amplified by what Trump would eventually and correctly call “fake news.” The Democrats loved the violence, as it turns out, because they thought that the people would show the rest of America that Trump was bad. They also began to believe that their uprising against Trump was a fusion of both the Civil War and the Civil Rights movements of the 1960s.By the Summer of 2020, they funded and encouraged violence while also downplaying it. Buildings set on fire, businesses destroyed, and an angry mob banging on the fence of the White House were all excused as “mostly peaceful protests.”However, what I was seeing unfolding, which alarmed me enough to start speaking out, was that something was very wrong with the Left. It wasn't until the Evergreen stories started coming out that I realized we'd built a fanatical army of not just woke scolds but a Red Guard-like generation who did not believe in limits on imposing their will upon the people.Diners were compelled to raise their fists in support of Black Lives Matter. The statues were coming down. Writers, editors, and celebrities were all being canceled and fired. Movies, literature, TV, comedy, architecture, science, even knitting, cooking, and exercise had to be transformed. It was tolerated because of what our culture had become after eight years of Obama and four years of Trump. The powerful, mostly white elites who run everything felt guilty. So they let it go on. I watched Hollywood devour itself. When the film Green Book won Best Picture, the Left exploded. It was a harmless movie about a friendship between a bigot and a gay Black man, and THAT was racist? Yes, because one of the screenwriters was a Trump supporter.The center could not hold. Though Joe Biden was dragged over the finish line in a corrupt election that would finally cause me to leave the Democratic Party, there was no coming back from what the Left had become. It was only a matter of time before the empire collapsed. I tried to warn them. Here is a DM exchange between me and Neera Tanden back in August of 2020:And then I predicted the future:The GOP did, in fact, take all three branches in 2024. But the message was never getting through. They didn't want to hear it then, and do not want to hear it now, so what other option do they have but to try to persuade by force?Vive La ResistanceI cringe looking back on being a “resistance fighter.” To think we'd convinced ourselves that we were like the French singer in Casablanca who sings loud enough to drown out the Nazis.It's that self-righteousness we felt, that entitlement, that moral superiority that would ultimately be our undoing, that Trump happened to us, rather than the people who voted for him. The fantasies by the wealthiest and most famous among us to viciously attack Trump, pull him from limb to limb, seemed to know no bounds. Somehow, violence has filled in the empty spaces. It's what Walter Kirn could see in the reaction to the Mangione assassination: this idea that violence was another way to build clout, even to virtue signal, in a narcissistic utopia. We believed ourselves to be the chosen people. But because the people didn't want us, didn't love us, didn't want our America - our shining Woketopia on the hill - we blamed them. We blamed their votes. We smeared them. That casual dehumanization did lead to violence. And it's likely to get much worse.The Party of HateI've lost so many friends, people I've known for years, ex-boyfriends, and colleagues. It was surreal to watch them pull away, to block, to unfriend, or attack me so relentlessly that I had to block them. They don't know who I am anymore, and I don't know who they are anymore.They have become defined by that collective hatred, that poisonous intolerance that has driven so many people like me away from the party. The worse they get, the more violent they become, the less Americans will want them in power. When I start to think about whether there will be a blue wave in 2026, I think about 1972. In 1970, four students were shot at Kent State for protesting the war. It did nothing to change public opinion, but it did put Nixon on a path toward a record landslide victory. It was just one of a series of violent events that scared the public away from the Democrats, with the Manson murders in 1969 being another.Those students believed in a cause worth dying for. History has mostly vindicated them. The Left of today believes they're fighting Hitler and “concentration camps.” Some believe it is a cause worth dying for. There's just one tiny problem: it isn't true. The reason I keep telling my story is that I know so much of what we lived through will disappear down the memory hole. But we should never forget how crazy it all became and how hard it was for all of us to find our way back to a united America. // This is a public episode.

Reports of overnight explosions and missile defense system activation in Tehran. Deep divide surfaces in conservative circles, as pro-war Trump loyalists and Establishment hawks lash out at war-weary patriots, warning of the lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan. Questions over the effectiveness of the bombing campaign lead to controversy. Is the world ready for peace, or has the conflict just begun in earnest? Sleeper cells and French pricks. Trump campaigns for more NATO funding abroad. SCOTUS hands conservatives some wins. Also, cultural canibalization, the associations of Neera Tanden, the autopen wielder extraordinaire, and phone calls throughout the show.

Faulty Intel Sparks Firestorm Over Iran Strike Assessment A leaked report suggesting Trump's Iran strike was ineffective relied on faulty signals intelligence. Iranian officials intentionally fed disinformation via tapped calls, misleading DIA analysts. Israeli sources confirm the operation's major success. Bryan calls for top DIA officials to be fired and their Iran shop frozen. Tariff Revenue Surges to Record Levels President Trump's tariff policies are paying off with $26.7 billion collected in June so far. Analysts say this could reduce the U.S. deficit by nearly $3 trillion over the next decade without driving inflation. GE Appliances and Liberty Phone Signal Manufacturing Comeback China-owned GE Appliances will move washing machine production to Kentucky, creating 800 jobs. Meanwhile, debate swirls over whether the Trump family's $500 “Made in USA” phone can actually be built domestically. Liberty Phone shows it's possible—just not fancy. Reshoring Cars Faces Hurdles Ford and GM are reshoring car production, but profits and supply chain challenges remain. Mexico's cheaper labor still makes foreign-made cars more profitable. Tariff clarity from the White House is needed to accelerate change. China Prioritizes Europe for Rare Earth Exports, Snubs U.S. Despite promises, China continues restricting rare earth exports to American companies while increasing shipments to Europe. Trump's team may have struck a new deal earlier this week, but details are unclear. Billionaire-Backed Lawyers Block U.S. Mining Projects Democrat donors like Michael Bloomberg are funding “green fellows” to infiltrate state regulatory boards, slowing or halting traditional mining and energy projects while promoting green energy. Economic Signals: Durable Goods Up, Federal Contractors Down Durable goods orders posted the biggest gain in 11 years. But recurring jobless claims rose and federal contractor hiring is plummeting due to Trump's deep spending cuts. Trump Ends Race-Based Federal Contracts Following a court order, the Trump administration eliminated affirmative action in highway and transit funding. Activist groups object, but the administration says it's enforcing the Constitution. New Deportation Strategy Targets Third Countries Migrants can now be deported to countries that aren't their homeland. Kilmar Abrego Garcia, linked to violent crimes, may be sent to South Sudan. Democrats are furious at the new legal precedent. Military Border Zone Expands 250 Miles Trump's administration extends the special military zone along the Texas border. DHS reports only 80 daily border “gotaways,” down from 700 under Biden. Congress Investigates Biden's Auto-Pen Presidency Lawmakers probe who actually signed documents during Biden's decline. Neera Tanden admits she authorized signatures without knowing if Biden approved them. Top aide Anthony Bernal may face subpoena.

The show starts with how CNN and others chose to run a slanted news story based on cherry-picked information leaked to them from a low confidence preliminary report on the results of the B-2 bombing run in Iran. The Secretary General of NATO praised President Trump for both his financial push to get other nations to step-up, but also his resolve to bring peace to the Middle East through strength. Neera Tanden testified behind closed doors, saying she ran the auto-pen from 2021-2023. There are at least four other staffers who will be questioned as part of the initial probe into how this happened and how knew about it. AOC thinks she can out-smart Trump, which is cute. NYC just elected, in the Democrat primary, a radical Communist who is also an extreme Islamist. His stances are worse than any current Democrat. California is under heat from the Administration. They are being sued for not turning over requested voter roles to see if illegals participated in Federal elections. And, Secretary of Education Linda McMahon says California has 10 days to comply with Title XI or face consequences. As we close, we get a soft moment from a reporter from Ukraine asking a question of Donald Trump. And, Rep. Al Green (D-TX) had his Articles of Impeachment tabled. 128 Democrats sided with the GOP in stopping them from proceeding.

TRENDING - Trump lashed out at AOC on Truth Social, former Biden aide Neera Tanden admits to using autopen, tourist claims he was barred from the U.S. over a JD Vance meme, Diddy's defense rests after just 10 minutes, and Matt Gaetz was caught getting scolded by his mom.

Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) talks about President Trump's evolving tariff strategy amid U.S.-China talks. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) reacts to former President Biden's remarks on the 2024 race. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy addresses flight safety concerns after a brief communication lapse in Newark. Matt Gorman, Sahil Kapur, Carol Lee and Neera Tanden join the roundtable.

The good news: Trump's second term has already hit historic levels of unpopularity. The bad news: we're still only 100 days into it. The White House marks this milestone by bragging about its record on immigration and defending the arrest of a Wisconsin judge and the deportation of three very young American citizens, ages 2, 4, and 7. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy reflect on where the country stands at the 100-day mark and take stock of the opposition—as Democrats, media outlets, universities, and even some law firms all ratchet up their efforts to push back. Then, Dan sits down with Neera Tanden, President and CEO of the Center for American Progress and a former top advisor to Joe Biden and Barack Obama, about the unique dangers of Trump and his allies, and how to defend against them.

Days after President Trump announced sweeping tariffs, Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent joins Meet the Press to discuss the effects on the markets and global trade. Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) reacts to the tariffs and talks about how Congress could intervene. Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) discusses Democrats' strategy to fight back. Leigh Ann Caldwell, Lanhee Chen, Garrett Haake and Neera Tanden join the Meet the Press roundtable.

The Center for American Progress’s Neera Tanden skewers Trump’s disastrous first 100 days. New Mexico Senator Martin Heinrich details how Democrats fight back.

We open with another correction. Yesterday it was the AP, today it is MSNBC. Seems everyone wanted to jump right to “Putin” when DNI Tulsi Gabbard talked about Trump and his relationship with another world leader. The Hill had to admit President Trump has been correct about Ukraine and how it was badly managed by everyone involved. Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) thinks it's funny to mock an American company that builds an American production with American labor. The war on Tesla is a coordinated implementation of domestic terrorism. CNN's Scott Jennings basically says, that's all the Left has are emotional outbursts and violence. We then move to more decisions of radical, activist judges who need to be reined before we really do suffer a full collapse over the rule of law. Congress has the ability to do that if they would get off their lazy butts. Even Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) put out a message to that effect. This also leads to more discussion over the memo of Chief Justice Roberts. Sean Davis, CEO and co-founder of The Federalist shares his frustration with trying to get an actual copy of the whole statement. Elon Musk describes what DOGE is finding and it is tantamount to legalized corruption, especially as it relates to NGO's and non-profits. The activist judges all see to have connections to the money flowing into the hands of family, spouses and/or relatives. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says people are mad because Elon Musk is “moving their cheese.” Musk corrects him and says, “It's not their cheese.” That is the corruption we are seeing in a nutshell. We know the name of the White House Staff Secretary how used the autopen with what appears to have been without Joe Biden's knowledge. Her name is Neera Tanden. The coronated Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, shows us that VP Kamala Harris isn't the only one gifted with nonsensical word salad. It seems incoming students at Harvard are not good at basic Algebra.

Donald Trump is hurting the American people. The DOGE cuts are not only waging war on jobs, they're also harming the American public and undermining the safety, health, and economic well-being of everyday Americans. And by cowering to his favorite bully in Moscow, Trump is prepping the US to be a subservient partner of Russia.

White House Domestic Policy Advisor Neera Tanden delivers remarks at the White House Tribal Nations Summit. Tanden spoke during the afternoon session of the one-day summit, which took place at the main building of the Department of the Interior in Washington, D.C., on December 9, 2024.

“Once upon a time you dressed so fineThrew the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?People call say 'beware doll, you're bound to fall'You thought they were all kidding youYou used to laugh aboutEverybody that was hanging outNow you don't talk so loudNow you don't seem so proudAbout having to be scrounging your next mealHow does it feel?” - Bob DylanI've listened to Bob Dylan's anthem of alienation, Like a Rolling Stone, so many times throughout my life, but it's never hit home quite the way it does now as I've been exiled by almost everyone I once knew. How does it feel, Bob Dylan asks? It feels like tumbling through space with no place to land. It feels like being trapped in a nightmare. It feels like nothing I've ever gone through before.But it's too late to turn back now. It's full steam ahead. Yes, I am a California Liberal voting for Donald J. Trump. Why am I doing it? Why was I willing to destroy my so-called “career,” end friendships overnight, and lose any status I've attained in the past 30 years I've been online, which, granted, isn't saying much? The answer is easy. I couldn't do the other thing.For many of us, 2020 was like Devil's Tower in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. We all had the same idea all at once, but we didn't understand it. We might have come from everywhere, but we all ended up in the same place.For some, it was the government's authoritarian crackdown on masks and lockdowns. For others, it was the lies about COVID. But for me, it was suddenly seeing that unseen hands were manipulating us as a form of social control. It sounds paranoid. I'll grant you that. I don't know how else to explain it. I was very much inside the insular feedback loop of the Left. I genuinely believed everything they said on CNN, MSNBC, and the New York Times. They turned on a dime from COVID hysteria to “systemic racism,” which allowed millions to pour into the streets - the largest protest in American history - amid a global pandemic that had closed schools, churches, and businesses. What was going on?None of us knew. They wouldn't tell us anything they did not think we needed to know. As I was crying out on Twitter about how crazy things were getting on the Left, Neera Tanden DM'd me. “You've changed,” she said. I was worried Biden would not win because the protests were too violent. By then, I was finding my news on the Right, where they weren't as afraid to post videos about what was happening on the streets.I told Neera Tanden that Trump would benefit from the public's desire for law and order. She told me to keep quiet until after the election. I told her I couldn't do that, but it did strike me as odd that such a high-level Democrat would care what I thought. But that's how it is on the Left. No one is allowed to stray from the mandated narrative.Even now, most people I know on the Left have no idea how bad it got. That's why they don't understand the comparisons to January 6th. They only saw one violent riot but they saw it over and over again, yet more proof of social control.It wasn't until Bari Weiss resigned from the New York Times after exposing their unwillingness to publish the truth about what was happening on the streets for fear it was racist even just to report on it, that I realized I had to separate myself from the hive mind whose sole mission was to support the Democrats. And that's how it went for the rest of the year. It was “don't ask, don't tell” for a once-mighty movement that now cowered in fear.But for many of us, it was the summer when we stopped trusting our institutions and our legacy media to tell us the truth about anything. Everything that happened in 2020 was designed to push Trump out of power. I watched them all but rig the 2020 election using the same unseen hands. I walked away from that election no longer a registered Democrat for the first time in my life.But that would only be the beginning. The Democrats had the White House, and they had four years to show America they really were the better side, the side that cared about all of us. Instead, whatever fundamentalist cult had overtaken the Left now spread throughout our government. Biden took his role seriously, using equity for policy and staffing his administration mostly with women, women of color, and members of the LGBTQIA lobby.And in so doing, he neglected to address the core problem for the Democrats, one that began back in 2008, the crisis that sparked the Fourth Turning. The Wall Street meltdown and subsequent bailout of the banks to the tune of $700 billion. Two populist movements that threatened the government meant a pivot to what Vivek Ramaswamy calls “woke capitalism.” Focus on identity politics and woke ideology, and they get to do whatever they want to the people of the United States.They ignored the problem until it exploded in 2016 with Trump's win. They failed to address the urgent needs of the people and instead went to war on Trump. Now, here we are, all of these years later, and the Democrats still can't even see the problem, let alone address it.Instead of unity, we got division. Instead of hope, we got despair. Instead of freedom, the Biden administration and the FBI began censoring speech on social media platforms. Maybe none of that would have been bad enough to make me a Trump supporter, but it meant I could never vote blue no matter who, ever again, and worse, we now had an even bigger problem to deal with. Could we ever win an election against this unprecedented alignment of power?I never thought I would vote for Republicans, but that is exactly what I have done, largely due to the embrace of “gender-affirming care” for minor children who cannot consent and the lack of protection for female athletes to compete fairly. Even now, there are no women, no feminists, no “girl dads” in the Democratic Party. They are too afraid of the activists. So it has to be up to those of us who do have the guts to stand up to them and who are strong enough to survive their attacks.That was when I knew I had to throw whatever power I had as an American citizen and political activist online into voting for the Republicans. But still, I was not quite ready to cross the Trump line. BraveheartIt was the humiliation of a former president when they raided Mar-a-Lago, with the whole world watching, that was the last straw for me. It seemed there were no limits to what they could do to Trump, and all of the legacy press and their obedient voters would go along with it, believing any wild fantasy they manifested.Trump might be selling nuclear secrets to North Korea. Trump might pull out a machine gun and spray the FBI with bullets like Al Pacino in Scarface.It just got worse from there. The indictments, the Civil trials, the felony conviction - none of the cases were even legit. Here is Megyn Kelly running them down on the All In podcast:And that was how I transformed from a lonely, shut-in I'm-with-her Democrat into a MAGA meme on X.Now, I am left wondering why I wouldn't vote for Trump. Why wouldn't I do the one thing I know that could end this madness? I know that the minute he wins and he shows them all that he's not a dictator and he's not Hitler and the world won't stop turning on its axis, all of this will finally end, and we can get back to some kind of normal life. In This House, We BelieveWhen I began spending time in MAGA world, watching Trump rallies and hanging out with Trump supporters, at least online, I got to know them well. When I reported back to the Left's fear bunker, I tried to explain it to them. I tried to humanize those we'd all been conditioned to hate.I remember seeing pictures of the faces contorted by hate when schools were ordered to allow Black students to attend — and no, you freaks, I'm not comparing them; I'm just saying that hate is hate, dehumanization is dehumanization, and people always feel justified doing it, and history always condemns them. Always. But they would not listen to me. They would scream at me, attack me, shun me, try to destroy my business. Even just being kind - practicing what they preached - was crossing a forbidden line. The attacks against Trump supporters began right around 2015 when Trump's warnings about the border were interpreted as Hitler-esque racism. That is what justified punching, kicking, spitting on, and, in some cases, even killing Trump supporters. What is their solution to the “MAGA problem” anyway? Gulags? Concentration camps? Re-education camps? Just exile them to the outer regions and forbid them from participating in the thriving new economy online or in our elections? Why am I a California liberal voting for Trump? I wake up in a cold sweat every night, and panic runs through me. What have I done? But then I remember I couldn't do the other thing. The Case for TrumpI would have voted for Trump just on the lawfare alone, but a funny thing happened in the past few months. Trump built an unprecedented alliance with RFK, Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy, Nicole Shanahan, and Elon Musk. It was more than I could ever imagine would be on offer in an American election. Trump's choice of JD Vance might be the best of all. He chose a running mate who isn't just window-dressing like poor Tim Walz but a strong leader in his own right.I'm not getting my hopes up, considering that the powerful people who now control our government have turned to corruption just to cling to power. What won't they do to stop Trump and drag the unprepared Kamala Harris over the finish line?But it doesn't really matter. They might win the battle. They won't win the war. I am so proud to be an American today. I finally know why. I know that “Whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.” That's the wild beauty, the untamed spirit of the American experiment.It really does look like a brighter future for the kind of America I want to fight for. And suddenly, I feel grateful for the founders who built this crazy people-run government. It was built for moments like this when we all must come together and prove that yes, this is a Republic, and yes, we can keep it.Trump's gift is that he doesn't preach from on high. He makes us all feel like we're on the same journey, sharing the same space, all one family. How does he still manage to do that after all he's been through? I don't know, but I do know that's the kind of leader, the kind of “dad energy” America needs. Donald Trump isn't perfect, but then, neither am I. But I know he loves this country, no matter how many lies they tell about him. He's changed everything, this “Gray Champion” of the Fourth Turning. And we're not going back. //end This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit sashastone.substack.com/subscribe

With the election upon us here in the US, these next few weeks on TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'm DOING , we're sharing a series of Lotus for POTUS conversations, hearing insights from leading edge voices to help inform and get out the vote!  A few months ago, I created a meme with a photo of Vice President Harris that went “In Sanskrit, Kamala means Lotus… In America, Kamala means POTUS” and for me and many others, that sentiment sums up the imperative choice we're making at the highest level, being thoughtful about our past, present, and future.  Now, Neera Tanden is someone who has had a front row seat at both the campaign and policy level, with decades of experience as an advisor and leader.  She currently serves as Assistant to the President and Director of the Domestic Policy Council, which drives the development and implementation of President Biden's domestic policy agenda. Previously, she was Senior Advisor and Staff Secretary in the White House, where she was responsible for Presidential decision-making. Prior to her roles in the Biden-Harris Administration, Neera was the President and CEO of the Center for American Progress, one of the largest think tanks in the country. She has served in both the Obama and Clinton administrations, and Neera has also been a policy advisor to Hillary Clinton in the White House, the Senate, and her campaigns. So it was great to catch up with her about the campaign, and what's resonating for her, as I was particularly curious about hearing what was both compelling and unique about Kamala Harris as a presidential candidate. Remember, conversation is the antidote to apathy. Go to vote.gov for information about registering, and to kamalaharris.com to learn about the Harris-Walz campaign. Please get involved, get engaged, and get informed about all your local issues and candidates up and down the ballot.

Also, White House senior advisor Neera Tanden recently spoke in Chippewa Falls about more Biden-Harris investments in rural Wisconsin. We'll cover her remarks with dairy farmer Hans Breitenmoser.

In the name of consumer protection, a slew of U.S. federal agencies are working to make it easier for Americans to click the unsubscribe button for unwanted memberships and recurring payment services. A broad new government initiative, dubbed “Time Is Money,” includes a rollout of new regulations and the promise of more for industries spanning from healthcare and fitness memberships to media subscriptions. “The administration is cracking down on all the ways that companies, through paperwork, hold times, and general aggravation waste people's money and waste people's time and really hold onto their money,” Neera Tanden, White House domestic policy adviser, told reporters in advance of the announcement. “Essentially in all of these practices, companies are delaying services to you or really trying to make it so difficult for you to cancel the service that they get to hold onto your money for longer and longer,” Tanden said. “These seemingly small inconveniences don't happen by accident—they have huge financial consequences.” Efforts being rolled out include a new Federal Communications Commission (FCC) inquiry into whether to impose requirements on communications companies that would make it as easy to cancel a subscription or service as it was to sign up for one. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in March 2023 initiated a “click to cancel” rulemaking requiring companies to let customers end subscriptions as easily as they started them. The government already has launched several initiatives aimed at improving the consumer experience. In June, the Justice Department, referred by the FTC, filed a lawsuit against software maker Adobe and two of its executives, Maninder Sawhney and David Wadhwani, for allegedly pushing consumers toward the firm's “annual paid monthly” subscription without properly disclosing that canceling the plan in the first year could cost hundreds of dollars. Dana Rao, Adobe's general counsel, said in an emailed statement that Adobe disagrees with the lawsuit's characterization of its business and “we will refute the FTC's claims in court.” “The early termination fees equate to minimal impact to our revenue, accounting for less than half a percent of our total revenue globally, but is an important part of our ability to offer customers a choice in plans that balance cost and commitment,” Rao said.

This week, the Biden administration announced it is taking on more of what it calls "everyday headaches and hassles that waste Americans' time and money."And it's doing that by having federal agencies make new business rules. There are actions to simplify health insurance paperwork, crack down on fake product reviews, streamline parent-teacher communications in schools and circumvent those automated customer service calls that the White House labels "doom loops."It's all part of a wider economic mission to eliminate modern business practices that the Biden administration believes exploit Americans.Neera Tanden, the director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, breaks down why this is happening and how it will work in reality.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Remember when we said “if they can do it to Trump they can do it to anyone?” Yeah, about that . . . Are we not entertained? Certainly you recall the great theater season of election 2016 when Liberal activists like Mark Ruffalo, Rosie O'Donnell, Neera Tanden, and Pink urged electors to flip their votes from Donald Trump to Hillary Clinton in 2016. Who can forget the tears, the laughter, the drama and the songs? Those dramatics came straight from the pages of America! Hollywood had taken their inspiration from D.CDemocrats have objected to certifying Electoral College wins for the presidential contests of 2000, 2004, and 2016. Ever raising the stakes of the reality show called “OuR DeMoCRacY”, The Game-Makers of The Capitol have delivered a wrinkle in the script: BREAKING: Michigan's AG is charging 16 Trump supporters with felonies for providing alternative electors in the 2020 election. What does God's Word say? 2 Timothy 3:1-17 3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.A Final Charge to Timothy10 You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11 persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. 12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13 while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.Episode 978 Links:BREAKING: Michigan's AG is charging 16 Trump supporters with felonies for providing alternative electors in the 2020 election.
