It’s hard to keep up with the quick pace of news from Washington daily. On Tuesday’s YouTube videocast “Halitics,” Hal Ginsberg and I talk about the hundreds of nationwide and worldwide protests against Trump’s antidemocratic policies and failing economy. I reported a huge demonstration in Monterey Saturday and was gratified at the response from protestors and hundred of passing cars honking in appreciation. We both agreed the Gaza atrocities and the situation in Ukraine seem to be afterthoughts for this administration. I talked about a Tom Friedman article about how technically advanced the Chinese government is, while Trump/Musk policies are decimating science, technology and medical research, allowing other countries to advance while we retreat. And we discussed how the Democratic Party can regain its popularity. And we discussed how the Democratic Party can regain its sagging popularity.
