An incredibly important discussion. Stuart Stevens and Simon Rosenberg 12/1.

I'd call this a "must hear," but that would probably be ignored. But this was a substantial, potentially pivotal discussion that provides direction on what we need to be pushing our Democratic electeds to step up on.

That is, to stop limiting themselves to "kitchen table" issues. There are more legs to the "stool."

Get loud about the Un-American, Un-Patriotic Self-dealing, Corruption, and Crimes being committed in plain sight by Noem, Patel, Bobby, Witkoff, Trump, and on and on. Weaken the regime by going after key figures, not just Trump. Criminal referrals. Call on the Senate to set up a task force akin to the House Democrats Litigation / Response Task Force.

They talk about the importance of language. Framing the accusations against Republicans when you call. (They talk in more general terms, but we can benefit from listening to the way Stuart frames objections to specific actions.)

And, they put the magnitude of the treason in Witkoff's leaked phone call into perspective (add up the 10 worst scandals in our history and this is worse).
