'joined a video chat with CA Gov. Gavin Newsom, Dem Sen. Cory Booker, and DNC Chair Ken Martin yesterday.'
I want to focus on that third name, Ken Martin. Since he was elected this winter he has taken many strong actions to support and promote Democrats. But also to clean house by firing all consultants. I heard him make that promise on a call in March and two weeks tonight I was on a DNC call. He was fiery. And he confirmed that the consultants were booted. One of several action items to which he can point.
Last week Jess Craven sat down with Ken and they chatted for a 1/2 hour in the park. Jess was impressed.
Good. It has been some heavy lifting to get through all the gunk that has been aimed at him. That you said 'heard' is what it involves. People like to break things based upon hearsay. He has only been in the position for 6 months and is already sprinting.
The DNC didn't get this way overnight, and it's hard to "sprint" through accumulated sludge. IMO, David Hogg didn't "read the room" all that well and his suggestion (that the DNC consider supporting primary challengers) was never going to fly -- on the whole, the DNC probably wasn't a good fit for him in the first place. So we'll see how Ken Martin does. A worthy successor to Howard Dean would be welcome.
I simply compare some of the goals he discussed in March on a call with a national organization I attend some monthly leader calls
And when he spoke a couple weeks ago. That DNC event was far more easier to access. Then I saw the Jess Craven interview live. I am not monitoring his movements, I am simply noticing whenever he pops up...
I hope he is focused and tuned in because Jamie Harrison didn’t get the job done. Going on tv and smiling is not going to win this fight. You have to get down and dirty.
He is the antithesis of Jamie Harrison. It didn't take long for Harrison to be corrupted. All the BS related to Mothership, if there is some blame to be had by the DNC, is laid at the feet of Harrison.
It’s so disturbing to see how they are treating Collier in Texas. They are effectively muzzling her. I’m inspired by her continuing fight. Don’t let them bring you down.
Those three are destined for extinction from the American political landscape. Miller and Vance are self-serving sanctimonious villains…Vance trashed his entire family for fame and money, while Miller’s family must be stunned to have reared the first Jewish Nazi. Pete is a pathetic drunk who’s been thrust into a position that even he knows is beyond him. They got off easy just being booed publicly.
Collier had to talk to Newsom from the bathroom??? And she couldn’t even do THAT?
Still, I hope she truly feels the LOVE AND SUPPORT of every anti-trumper, anti-fascist human being in the nation and the WORLD. We’re with you, Collier!!! 👏💕💪🙏
The Heros of this story are finally beginning to assemble. Some are surprising, like Ms. Collier. And Abrego Garcia. And the judges who are not only rejecting trump's evil schemes, but calling them out for the obvious abuse of the law. And the team of Gavin Newsome's that is trolling trump's social media. And all my fellow "old hippies" who are drawing on our 60's protest energy.....and everyone here. Thank you!
Some selections from Robert Hubbell's Today's Edition:
Is the resistance powered by “old white hippies?” Guilty as charged—and proud of it! I am having t-shirts made that embrace the failed insult and turn it against Stephen Miller and JD Vance. My thoughts, so far:
-Old White Hippie / Wide Awake and Fighting Fascism (again)
-Old White Hippie / Old enough to remember when Nazis were the bad guys
-Old White Hippie / Trump's Worst Nightmare
-Old White Hippie / Mad as hell / Not going to take it anymore!
See you in the streets, Hillbilly Hoax and Herr Miller! We will be easy to spot. We are the old white hippies who are on the front lines, leading the resistance (again). Thank you for your attention to this matter!
I'd say that Vance and Hegseth are incompetent, but Stephen Miller is EVIL.
If you judge competency from a moral-neutral viewpoint (where it simply means "accomplishing what you set out to do"), I don't think you can label Miller as incompetent.
It was, but that kind of misogyny is so ingrained in our culture, it’s really hard to avoid. The fact you caught yourself shows you’re aware and trying to do better, so kudos to you!
It made me chuckle, having been and raised little girls; girls are usually more vocal, a lot of boys sulk or break things. Though I do think calling men 🐱s is sexist. 🐱s have shown a lot more fortitude and courage than too many men who rolled over and peed on themselves like puppies. In fact, I now think pussy should be a compliment.
Vance and Hegseth are more ignorant than evil, they are emotionally retarded. Miller, on the other hand, revels in cruelty. He has no soul - no consciousness of right or wrong. He hates everyone, including himself. I call him Nosferatu Himmler.
Miller embodies the worst redux of Naziism. Hegseth raped someone, is a Xtian nationalist, and is destroying our national security. Vance is generally unlikable, unprincipled, conniving, phony, and power mad. So I agree, it's probably still Miller. But if ever a chunk of meteor should strike the Earth, I hope they're standing close together.

That's the first positive thing I've heard about Ken Martin, or about the DNC leadership in general. Will check it out.
Good. It has been some heavy lifting to get through all the gunk that has been aimed at him. That you said 'heard' is what it involves. People like to break things based upon hearsay. He has only been in the position for 6 months and is already sprinting.

Same here. We'll see. I need to hear more, and I need to hear it from him.
c/o Scott I got the discussion going.
Same
Thanks as always for sharing this Joe I will be sure to have another chat with Jess Craven soon!
Why not also invite Ken Martin to join you? Was that a setup?
I hope he is focused and tuned in because Jamie Harrison didn’t get the job done. Going on tv and smiling is not going to win this fight. You have to get down and dirty.
He is the antithesis of Jamie Harrison. It didn't take long for Harrison to be corrupted. All the BS related to Mothership, if there is some blame to be had by the DNC, is laid at the feet of Harrison.
These three stooges should expect that kind of a warm reception anywhere they go!
One of the few things they've ever earned
At least the Three Stooges were funny.
And they were not traitor racist fascist fucks
And better looking.
Moe made bangs grate again
love.
Agree! 3 stooges!
I’m surprised Vance had time in between vacations to come visit DC!!
vacations we the people paid for 🤦🏽♀️💸💸💸💸💸🤬
20,500 Federal employees fired in the health sector, but the twat goes on international vacations with the fam.....
He is infuriating. I'm glad he was hated everywhere he went
Agree. It’s outrageous! 🤬
LOL good one Kathy
And he took time to comment on "crazy protesters."
I mean, It is Tyranny when Stephen Miller calls people "Stupid White Hippies".

I hate that guy, and the idiots around him.
Over at Today's Edition, reader's are brainstorming T-shirt ideas for "Old White Hippies"
https://open.substack.com/pub/roberthubbell/p/old-white-hippies-rule?r=1aiy5t&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
I am literally an old white hippie. I definitely want a T shirt! 🙌
Me too. He has no idea how we act. I’d like to see him in the streets during Vietnam. He would never last 5 minutes
No idea. We actually had to endure years of protests before things changed. We have the stamina.
Ditto!
Oh my god did that set me on fire. He’s such a .. I can’t think of anything low or skanky enough.
It says something that his wife left him for NAZI MUSK - but at least MUSK must be amusing on drugs.
On a good note, James Dobson is dead. Good riddance to that waste of oxygen.
Yeah, Lisa, but the unfortunate thing about that is that while Dobson is dead, that wasn’t before he could create the pedophile Josh Duggar
I know there’s always a backup plan with these fuckers, but the less energy on the Earth from evil, is a win.
Agreed.
🥳
It’s so disturbing to see how they are treating Collier in Texas. They are effectively muzzling her. I’m inspired by her continuing fight. Don’t let them bring you down.
Those three are destined for extinction from the American political landscape.

I call bullshit on the so-called felony.
Totally! They’re just making stuff up as they go to silence her!

Thanks Joe!
I want “old white hippie and I’m mad as hell!”
They are accomplices to the Trump fascist regime. The people see their actions and do not respect these 3 incompetent men seeking a photo op.
I'd say that Vance and Hegseth are incompetent, but Stephen Miller is EVIL.
If you judge competency from a moral-neutral viewpoint (where it simply means "accomplishing what you set out to do"), I don't think you can label Miller as incompetent.
Extremely good point!
It’s interesting that the republicans have the house, senate, presidency and Supreme Court yet they still mange to whine like a bunch of little girls.
I hope that wasn’t sexist!
It was, but that kind of misogyny is so ingrained in our culture, it’s really hard to avoid. The fact you caught yourself shows you’re aware and trying to do better, so kudos to you!
How about "they whine like spoiled toddlers" instead?
Or babies!
It made me chuckle, having been and raised little girls; girls are usually more vocal, a lot of boys sulk or break things. Though I do think calling men 🐱s is sexist. 🐱s have shown a lot more fortitude and courage than too many men who rolled over and peed on themselves like puppies.

Haha!
brats?
Heartwarming boos! I saw a video of this, & some of the F you comments were epic! Love it! Let's have lots more.
Thanks Scott. You really do help in keeping me going, sometimes. Sometimes the ugly just gets too overwhelming! You give me hope.
Thank you Carol!
The Guardian has an expose of the other criminal in this fiasco; viz, "justice" John Roberts. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2025/aug/21/justice-john-roberts-supreme-court
My question is: who do you think is the worst out of Vance, Hegseth, and Miller?
Yes.
Nobody out evils Miller. Nobody!
Agree
They all have their own special brand of evil..
Miller by a nose.
Vance and Hegseth are more ignorant than evil, they are emotionally retarded. Miller, on the other hand, revels in cruelty. He has no soul - no consciousness of right or wrong. He hates everyone, including himself. I call him Nosferatu Himmler.
Miller
They are among the snakes on Medusa's head.
Miller embodies the worst redux of Naziism. Hegseth raped someone, is a Xtian nationalist, and is destroying our national security. Vance is generally unlikable, unprincipled, conniving, phony, and power mad. So I agree, it's probably still Miller. But if ever a chunk of meteor should strike the Earth, I hope they're standing close together.
With Abbott nearby.
Miller is evil reincarnated.
Miller by a bald, white, scowling head.
miller
I hope a day is coming where every one of the fascist goons destroying this nation get their fully-earned and deserved comeuppance.
especially the felon and probably pedophilia, need in jail
Good to see people standing up against the regime! Keep on walking, keep on talking ain’t nobody gonna turn me around 💪🇺🇸💪☮️
