Friends, excited to share with you a brand new interview recorded just a few minutes ago with Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes. She is one of the 23 Democratic Attorneys General on the front lines of the battle against Trump’s unlawful attack on our federal government and his ongoing assault on our Constitutional order. In our interview Attorney General Mayes talks about the wins the AGs are racking up, the programs and jobs they are protecting, the need to be guided by patriotism and love of country, and how inspired she was by the protests we saw all across America this weekend.
In our discussion the Attorney General also lays out her concept of the Three C’s we need now: showing up in crowds to make our voices heard however possible, battling in courts, and facing the moment with courage.
Hopium regulars should look out for the discussion of our A Letter To America proposal. Perhaps it should be the Dem AGs who pen the first draft……
This is the first in a series of interviews we plan to do every few weeks with one of the 23 Democratic AGs who are out there fighting and winning for us every day. I think they are playing a far more important role in these early days of our opposition to Trump than is understood right now, and I want to do more to showcase them and their critical work.
Learn more about how the 23 AGs are working together in this recent Washington Post story, see this morning’s Hopium post for my latest thoughts about Trump’s ongoing lawless rampage, and learn more about Attorney General Kris Mayes here. This was a uplifting discussion about our current moment, and hope you will get to it when have the time.
Keep working hard all. For As Senator Booker reminded us a week ago the power of the people is greater than the people in power - Simon
