I have to confess: I was not looking forward to today’s MOMochat political gabfest, because just about every bullet point on our show notes was incredibly DARK. (And it did not help that about an hour before we went live, we learned that the United States had seized a Venezuelan oil tanker, which - as Karoli points out - is either piracy… or an act of war.)
Thank goodness for my colleagues here, because their intelligence and optimism spurred me right out of my dark mood - even though our discussion included last week’s National Security Statement (that reads like a Stephen Miller/Vladimir Putin fever dream), the Supreme Court’s apparent willingness to dismantle the Federal government and (maybe?) toppling the protections of the Fourteenth Amendment.
As for the points of light: You just have to look at yesterday’s special election results in Florida and Georgia where Democrats continued to outperform expectations. We laughed a LOT. Watch above or listen below.
