This week, the entire media seemed to wake up to the dangers of a second Trump presidency. FINALLY. Just one of the topics we talked about on the latest MOMocrats MOMochat podcast.

Between the 🤡show in Washington and the horror in the Mideast, it's been a brutal week. @Karoli , @AlizaWrites and I try to make sense of it here. All I can say is that it was a tough one to balance.

The wildfires that raced across Maui, Hawaii, on Tuesday and Wednesday, August 8 and 9, driven by high winds across land that had been suffering a drought, have fed a familiar political narrative. That firestorm roared into the 13,000-person town of Lahaina, killing a confirmed 114 people, with more..

There is so much good stuff in the Biden administration’s budget proposals that can’t move because of the Republicans and some combination of Manchin & Sinema. We’re so close to being able to enact more meaningful reform that isn’t temporary.
Professor Kyle @blackcatprose
One of Biden's signature issues – the expanded child tax credit – was the best tool we've had for decades for lifting people out of poverty. And it juiced "the economy" (which is *everything*, not just big business). It wasn't renewed because Republicans don't want to help poor people.

Before President Joe:
16 years of Clinton, Obama: 33.8M jobs

16 years of Bush, Bush, and Trump: 1.9M jobs

And at the 2 year mark, Uncle Joe was cruising along with around 12M … the highest jobs per month rate of any of them.

Best for the economy? It’s not even close.
Professor Kyle @blackcatprose
Dems are always better on the economy – because they actually care about the poor & want to help them. Yet polls & focus groups "showed the party losing badly to Republicans on the most important single issue of voters: the economy." We need to change that narrative.

Instead of constantly obsessing over the former guy, it’s time for people to spend some time talking about everything Joe Biden has accomplished in a hyper-polarized political environment. Is there more to be done? Absolutely! But c’mon people, give our president some credit.

This may seem obvious to some but I think it bears restating: Two things can be true at the same time. We can recognize the U.S. economy is doing better than it has in years and still understand that the poor remain poor and more needs to be done.

Dear Justice Alito:

If you think we don’t have the power to regulate you, then we think you don’t have the power to cash your paychecks. See generally U.S. Const., Art. III.

Let’s see how the Supreme Court operates without congressional funding.

Hugs n kisses,
