TODAY'S NUGGETS
📩 Wall Street is coming for your mail. Former freight shipping magnate and new Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has all but handed the Department of Government Efficiency the keys to the Postal Service as Elon Musk sets his sights on privatizing the country’s second-most popular government agency — all to Wall Street’s delight.
This Democrat wants to move on from the old guard. Bernie may be old in numbers, but he has never had an old way of thinking. The Biden's, Obama's and Clinton's, Pelosi, Schumer and the rest of the Old Guard has held us back for far too
long and it is glaring that they should have never done that. In 2016 the electorate wanted radical change and it was either Trump or Bernie and Democrats made the Fatal mistake of not elevating Bernie. Then again, in 2020, the Old Guard dragged Biden, Clyburn literally dragged Biden over the Finish Line when he was losing in primaries and did all Americans a disservice. But I'm taking a page out of Bernie's Playbook I still work inside the party for change. Did you ever notice he never disparages any Democrat personally? I'd take this guy at 83 and Democrats better start listening to him now and following his lead or they will lose absolutely everyone and the country. Democrats seem to be motivated by power and money too. I'm a Precinct captain in Florida and I'm spending a fair amount of my life down here fighting for those I don't even know. For no money and no glory.
