New episode of #JenRubinsGreenRoom ft #BillBrowder

"Jen is joined by finance expert and human rights campaigner Bill Browder for an inside look at the corruption and oppression in Putin’s Russia that directly targeted Bill’s company and friends. In their conversation they cover Putin’s massive theft from businesses operating there, how he uses torture and violence against his political enemies, and why defeating him in Ukraine is essential to protecting freedom and democracy around the world. They also discuss how the bi-partisan Magnitsky Act is one of the most effective weapons in the war because of its power to freeze accounts and directly target the oligarchs behind the invasion. Now that it is being passed in dozens of other countries, are we gaining the upper hand?"

New ep of #JenRubinsGreenRoom !

"With Trump racking up another indictment in Georgia, Jen sits down with legal maven Rep. #DanGoldman to dive into the charges he faces. During their conversation they explore how RICO prosecutions work to bring down criminal enterprises and why it strengthens the possibility of conviction, and explain why the jury pool won’t be corrupted by politics or wild rhetoric from Donald. They also emphasize the need to ground the law in objective reality, and shut down comparisons to the Biden family– especially when the Trump family has exhibited far more evident corruption. Will this be the case that finally holds the former president to account?"

New episode of #JenRubinsGreenroom !

“@JenRubin welcomes NYU journalism professor @jayrosen_nyu to discuss the modern media ecosystem and how the classic both sides approach and opinion free corporate coverage is failing us with repeated coverage centered on crisis. They also examine the pressures on journalists from institutions, and more importantly what it will take to fix things. Will re-establishing truths over savviness with a focus on transferring knowledge from a position of expertise be enough to tame the rising populist passions that rely on misinformation to spread?”

“Jen is joined by author and activist #FredGuttenberg to tackle the pressing need to address gun violence, how we can fight back, and what our government needs to do to protect the vulnerable. In their conversation they explore the obscene power of the NRA and the mythologies supporting weapons of war, how to construct a legal strategy that can start securing electoral and legislative wins, and the power of activism. They also share the reasons we should have for hope, and more importantly ask how we can use our voices most effectively to end senseless gun violence?”

I'm sharing this Washington Post opinion piece by the incomparable #JenniferRubin (there's no paywall). It's about how republicans have really painted themselves into a corner.

If this holds, we really need to make a point and capitalize on the republicans weakness this go-round. In addition to keeping the White House, we need to get at least two more Senate seats and take the House to turn things around and quickly.

This part really jumped out at me:

“Jen sits down with expert on authoritarianism #RuthBen-Ghiat for a look at the mythic hold strongmen have on political systems around the world and how Trump took up that mantle here. They cover how he resurrected the spoils system, used divisive language to create a cult-like following, and his attempts to create disinformation that tears apart loyalty to anyone besides him. More importantly, they explore how deep the threat to democracy goes– and when our system is threatened, how can we fight back to restore equality and justice under the law?”

Opinion | Sheldon Whitehouse was right all along: The Supreme Court is corrupt
By Jennifer Rubin
__________
Good summary of Sen. Whitehouse's findings about the Supreme Court, but the proposed solution, statutory term limits, seems 1) largely unrelated to the corruption problem and 2) inconsistent with Art. III, Sec. 1 of the Constitution. Good Behaviour ≠ term limits.

#jenniferrubin - I agree 1000%

The 🍊🤡 can “act” for his minions while they see and hear the truth, since I’m also 1000% sure few of them have read the entire #TrumpIndictment
We, the people, deserve the truth

Cameras in Trump case courtrooms are essential https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/06/18/cameras-courtroom-trump/

#jenniferrubin Ever notice how #Republicans have threatened #MerrickGarland and #jacksmith but not one #democrat has remotely suggested any violence against #AileenCannon … just another reason why any sane person should #VoteBlue to rid America of these thugs

Aileen Cannon should not preside over the Trump trial https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/06/13/judge-cannon-recuse-trump-documents-indictment/

#jenniferrubin - All I know is if the 🍊🤡 serves NO time, he might a well shoot someone on Fifth Avenue

Republicans should listen to Bill Barr https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/06/11/bill-barr-trump-election/

#jenniferrubin - I still want to know why the 🍊🤡 isn’t incarcerated yet?

Trump’s smoking gun recording gives Jack Smith all he needs https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/06/04/trump-smoking-gun-tape/

Technical issues weren’t Ron DeSantis’s biggest problem https://wapo.st/3WHCLwO
Gift article Washington Post
This is kind of funny
#JenniferRubin#Giftarticle#WashingtonPost

#jenniferrubin - #desatan and the entire #republicanparty WANT a populace incapable of making informed decisions. . .duh. . .easier to rip them off

Ron DeSantis’s big idea: Make Florida students ignorant https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/05/18/desantis-authoritarian-ignorant/

#jenniferrubin - one can only hope. . .

IMO, I enjoy watching the #nra give #Republicans the ammo to shoot themselves in the foot

Right-wing judges may cripple the GOP https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/04/11/right-wing-judges-undermine-gop/

Seventy years ago in #ThePoliticalSystem , #DavidEaston defined #Politics as “the authoritative allocation of values:” While each year Congress greets the #President’sBudget as “dead on arrival,” #JenniferRubin shows how this year’s #PB continues to provide insights for current U.S. politics:

Biden uses the budget to bludgeon Republicans https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/03/16/biden-budget-bludgeon-republicans

Jezebel: Sex. Celebrity. Politics.

It’s so weird that I now go out of my way to watch, read and listen to #JenniferRubin #MaryTrump because she is an articulate enemy of Trumpism when a few years ago I found her unbearable https://youtu.be/wVZ4PysHGyA

Another very good question & answer session in the Washington Post

When will Trumpism end? #JenniferRubin answered your questions.
