ROBERT HUBBELL RECORDING
You can click here to view the recording of last week's COINversation with Robert Hubbell. He's the author of the Today's Edition newsletter, which is frequently quoted in this newsletter. If you're not already a fan, you will be! Check out his columns on Substack.
HE MEANS WHAT HE PROMISES
"It is no exaggeration to say that Mr. Trump is running for the presidency on a platform of lawlessness, promising to wield the power of the state against his enemies — real or imagined. Today, millions and millions of Americans support him for that reason or despite it. . . .
"There are many nations where citizens live in fear of governments that wield unchecked and arbitrary authority against their enemies, real or imagined. That is the America that Mr. Trump is promising his supporters. When Mr. Trump told supporters “I am your retribution,” all Americans should take him at his word." -- Alex Kingsbury, New York Times, September 28, 2023
Join millions of Americans volunteering to defend our democracy and ensure free and fair elections. Check out Indivisible, Swing Left, Postcards to Voters, and the many other pro-democracy organizations.
