and delivering it well. Interestingly, I watched a podcast conversation between Scott Galloway and Kara Swisher, yesterday. Galloway singled out Murphy and Raskin, as well.

Swisher added AOC to the list. I think AOC is a good voice, and gets herself on social media often, so she reaches a certain audience. But her voice is not as evolved as Raskin and Murphy.

I do not believe there needs to be only one leader right now. It is a group effort.

I also think we are seeing brilliant work being done by Norm Eisen and others in courts. This is an all hands on deck moment.

I would like to see the Dems do it "better," in general. IMHO, some of them do not help the cause. It does not help to have Chuck Schumer or Maxine Waters hogging the microphone. I have been writing to them with my observations.

I suggest their message focus on specifics, rather than platitudes and buzz words. If you have a camera on you, let the American citizenry know what they need to know about what is happening with the federal agencies and the federal employees, and the risks to them and their money with the actions of MuskRat and DOGE and young hackers. Correct the record, when possible - address the propaganda.

A couple of days ago, someone posted a tailored list of messages to get across that I thought was good. I may have bookmarked it - will look.
