A way forward must include champions like Lina Khan.

There is some cross-appreciation for what she began under the Biden administration, which was truly exceptional.

That cross-will regard for her work can be harnessed into getting votes for Dems in 2026 imho.



Instead of commercial ads where they spend millions for a few minutes, why not consider sponsoring free civic classes, in town halls across the country...red states especially. We fund the teachers, maybe retired ones, whoever can offer their time to explain how government is THEIR government, not one to destroy for the benefit of the few.

I swear, I do not see evidence they understand the most fundamental wheels of governing.

I was reading somewhere about one of her big cases continuing under current administration.

Vance and a couple of R senators were supporters of her and what she was trying to do. Musk and some others wanted her gone. On our side our biggest billionaire contributor asked Harris to fire her. Khan had friends and enemies on both sides.

Khan is relatively young, I hope we hear more of her.
