the Democratic Governors Assoc, and the young(ish) firebrands in the House who are speaking out loudly and bluntly. -I've been following the DGA, partly because about 1/3 of US presidents were governors but mostly because I suspect that they're up to something that I want them 6/8
to be up to. A recent article by Chris Armitage on Substack suggests that the DGA has been quietly uniting around a strategy of soft secession rooted in "but we've got the money, honey." -So there is, I think, reason for hope. Pritzker, in particular, gives me hope. Meanwhile, of course it's 7/8

Great article, but it goes right to the core of “tell people about what you’re doing” that Democrats always have big problems with.
