Summary

There’s a reason Republicans are obsessed with owning the libs in meaningless skirmishes in blue states while ignoring what they can actually accomplish in red states: they elevate symbolism over substance, outcomes, and results. Today, I explain why it’s absurd to celebrate Harvard swapping out one crazy president for another while red state departments of education are full of the same sorts of people. It’s absurd to attack the vaccines while failing to assail Trump and red state governors for supporting them while ignoring Florida as the one state actually holding vaccine makers accountable. Later on, we’re joined by Rep. Chip Roy for a preview of the budget fight. He explains why he is boycotting the symbolism of the GOP trip to the border and focusing instead on the defund fight. He also makes the case for Ron DeSantis and demonstrates how he is the greatest example of a results leader who puts substance over symbolism every day — even to the point of being willing to lose millions in donor cash to do the right thing.
