Since this country's founding, we have been tested. And the Americans before us somehow stood up and fought the good fight. We can't be the generation that loses it all 249 years into this experiment. But that doesn't mean we can't laugh about the stupid clowns—like Trump showing once again that he has no idea how tariffs work. Plus, RFK's dangerous proposed autism registry is selling a cruel fantasy. And Democrats need to lock down what they're selling and listen to what voters want from the government.

Hallo und willkommen zu The Bulwark Podcast. Ich bin euer Host Tim Miller. Es ist Freitag. Ich brauche ein bisschen Therapie, also habe ich einen alten Freund mitgebracht. Er ist ein ehemaliger demokratischer Kommissar aus El Paso. Er läuft Powered by People, der registriert und mobilisiert Votierende in Texas und arbeitet auch, um langfristige Veränderungen in den Staaten zu machen.
Das wird nötig sein. Er ist auch auf Substack. Jetzt ist jeder auf Substack. Es ist Beto O'Rourke. Was passiert, Beto? Schön, mit dir zu sein.
Hier in El Paso. Es ist ein... Absolutely gorgeous day out there. And soon headed to Denton, Texas. We're doing these town halls all over the state of Texas. And we're going to be at this place called Anderson's. It's a brewery on Saturday. So I'm excited to be getting out there and to be with people right now.
Man, ich muss dir sagen, es fühlt sich so gut an, nur auf persönlicher Ebene.
Not to be watching or waiting or hoping or praying, but to be out there with people. And, you know, there's certainly something cathartic and therapeutic about it, right? For everyone concerned, because I'll talk for 10 or 15 minutes and then the microphone goes around the room and anyone, you know, We don't screen for party affiliation. We don't check the questions ahead of time.
Anyone who has anything they want to say is able to do that. And from those conversations, not only am I learning a lot about what's on the minds of people in Wichita Falls, where we just held one, or Rice University in Houston, where we just had one, but everyone else in the room is listening to their neighbors and folks in the community. And they may find common cause. They may
understand from someone who's drawn a different conclusion on an issue that they care about, how they got there. There's something really powerful in that. And then we also, for our group Powered by People, which does voter registration and uses relational organizing to stay in touch with newly registered voters, we also recruit volunteers from those meetings.
