While over a hundred million pissed-off women and the widespread concern that Trump and the GOP are determined to destroy the American system of government seem like a powerful force, history tells us big dark money could overcome even those substantial tailwinds.
A Tsunami of Right-Wing Dark Money Is Barreling Toward Harris and Walz If Democrats survive the coming onslaught from billionaire donors, their first order of business next year must be to strip this cancer out of our body politic.

From the article:
I love watching the Olympic medal ceremonies when an American athlete has won gold, stands atop the podium with their hand on their heart and mouths the words to the National Anthem as our flag is raised. I felt the same swelling in my chest, and my eyes welled up hearing the crowd chanting “USA! USA!” at the rally introducing Tim Walz as Kamala Harris’ VP running mate. It was a spontaneous burst of joy, patriotism, and pride in the best of what America can be. There was none of the hostility, menacing, or celebration of exclusion that emanates from that same chant at Trump rallies. Steven Beschloss writes this week about the faux patriotism that is the charade of Trump’s “America First.” Not unrelated to that is Andra Watkins’ piece on the toxic twisting of masculinity that permeates Project 2025 and Christian nationalism - and the antidote, which is men like Tim Walz. Stuart Stevens’ weekly campaign memo digs into the dangerous realm of racial purity tests that Trump and the GOP have waded into. And Mark Jacobs calls on the media to stop providing platforms for Trump-boosters only to allow them to lie, evade, and dodge questions. Thanks, as always, to Mark Jacobs for reminding journalists what journalism is.
The Charade of "America First" Steven Beschloss writes: "I will never get over July 16, 2018, the day that Donald Trump betrayed America and sided with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin in Helsinki."
