I don't think it's needed and only stoops to trump-like name calling. Everyone knows who they are and what they are doing. Calling out the billionaires will not convince a Trump base voter to wise up, it will only entrench them further and bring retorts about George Soros. The only way out is to continue to hold the highest seats in government and produce policies that make everyone's lives better. Then and only then will they convince themselves of their poor choices in leaders. Better to laser focus on Trump and let the oligarchs, American and Russian, come out in the open where they can be taken down.

I guess it depends on who you think is the head of the snake, Trump or any of the billionaires on the radical right.

Sunshine is the best disinfectant and President Biden unloaded a boat full of it yesterday. More of that is most needed and necessary. Repeating talks like yesterday's will force the media to move it to the top of the page/broadcast. Biden's address yesterday barely made the top of the fold on WaPo today but then the shutdown is a true emergency.

Thank you, BlueRoots, for returning us to where we really need to place our attention.

I agree. Calling out the billionaires behind the MAGA movement would be a mistake. It would sound like a conspiracy theory, would play into Trump's little hands, and dilute the message people need to hear - over and over and over. AND over!

I encountered a federal contract worker who was not aware of the impending shut down.

Must be a social recluse. Federal workers are being notified about shutdown plans.

Contract workers are not federal employees, and may not be notified.
