Hopium Chronicles By Simon Rosenberg

Morning all. Last night I got together with Hopium paid subscribers for a spirited discussion about our challenging moment. A recording is above. I hope you will watch and share with others you think might be interested. Note there is a rough transcript above for those who would rather read than watch or listen.

I was also fortunate to have been able to have a long discussion with historian Heather Cox Richardson yesterday which helped clarify a few things I’ve been writing and thinking about in recent weeks. I will get a link of that discussion to you as soon as it is available. It was an extraordinary blessing to be able to spend an hour talking to such a remarkable patriot.

Here’s where I am this morning. I feel like despite the horrors of recent days we have a bit of momentum, that our work is starting to make a real difference. Trump continues to suffer significant setbacks in the Courts, and even lost in his Supreme Court yesterday. His poll numbers have dropped significantly, and consumers have lost confidence in his stewardship of the economy. In just a few weeks Trump has caused inflation to rise and may have pushed the strongest economy in the developed world into recession. He is clearly spooked by the organic protests that are springing up across the country, and the pressure being put on his allies. Cracks are appearing in his Congressional support over his rancid embrace of Putin; his plutocratic, anti-worker, deficit-exploding budget plan; and Musk’s outrageous lawlessness and attack on the US government.

In recent days we’ve seen Congressional Democrats start to really raise their game. House Dems have created a task force to challenge Trump more effectively; they have filed an amicus brief in a case challenging Trump’s unconstitutional attack on the government; Leader Jeffries held a national grassroots event last night with DNC Chair Ken Martin to talk about the path forward, showing an elevated level of organization and ambition; today House Dems are holding their first “shadow hearing” on Trump’s proposed cuts to the health care of 80 million Americans.
