Hi all! As you may or may not know, I’m doing a weekly web show with Kerry Eleveld, every Tuesday at 1:30 PT/4:30 ET. And it’s that time! Watch live now, or catch the recording later, and let us know what you think!
This week’s guests are David Dayen from the American Prospect. We’ll be discussing his Day One Agenda series, which discusses what President-Elect Joe Biden can accomplish via executive-branch actions, even if he ends up with a hostile Senate. (Even a 50-50 Senate will be difficult to navigate.) The core argument is this:
Without signing a single new law, the next president can lower prescription drug prices, cancel student debt, break up the big banks, give everybody who wants one a bank account, counteract the dominance of monopoly power, protect farmers from price discrimination and unfair dealing, force divestment from fossil fuel projects, close a slew of tax loopholes, hold crooked CEOs accountable, mandate reductions of greenhouse gas emissions, allow the effective legalization of marijuana, make it easier for 800,000 workers to join a union, and much, much more.
So we’ll talk to Dayen about how much we can realistically expect to pass in a Biden Administration, and facing a potentially hostile Supreme Court.
We’ll also be talking to Daily Kos’s own Monique Teal. She is a senior campaign director at Daily Kos, organizing our Georgia efforts for several years now—from Jon Ossoff in 2017, to Stacey Abrams in 2018, to winning the state at the presidential level in 2020, to … hopefully victory in January! She’ll talk to us about how Daily Kos organizes its community on behalf of these critical efforts, and what we're doing to finish the job in the two Senate runoffs in two months.
So join us! Either live or later. Subscribe to our channel so you don’t miss an episode, live on Tuesdays at 1:30 PM PT/ 4:30 PM ET. And please, chip in today to help KEEP Georgia blue!
