Morning Roundup: Wake up with a Guide for the Perplexed
January 30: Jen Rubin, Joyce Vance, Jennifer Weiss-Wolf, and more
Good morning, Contrarians!
On this terrifyingly consequential day of hearings, lining up the worst of the worst—Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, and more (must we?) from RFK Jr.—Jen Rubin kicks us off with A Guide for the Perplexed: Democrats in Distress. Read more to learn five basic rules for our messaging moving forward. Discipline and amplification are key.

They’ve continued that in a punchy post covering Meta employees’ innovative rebellion against Zuckerberg bending the knee in Periods fuel Protests.

Why hasn't Musk been sued for voter intimidation, election interference? After all, Trump admits he stole the Pennsylvania election.
