This crime at Social Security might amount to the biggest data theft in human history. Committed by a government against its own citizens. I don’t think anyone has begun to grasp the sheer scale of corruption and institutional destruction that has occurred in the last few months. Era-defining.

I don't know if Trump is dying. He certainly seems like he's literally falling apart. What I do know is that whether he lives or not, we have to form together a democratic movement that fights fascism while coalescing around a plan to solve the problems that got him elected in the first place.

Walz is a good speaker, but the approach he's taking in this clip, with a few tweaks here and there, is available to pretty much any Democrat. This isn't the language of the party's left wing. It's just the simple rhetoric of an opposition party in a time of domestic crisis.
