I don't think this article from the DI had an expiration date:

Don’t confuse ‘social democracy’ and ‘democratic socialism’
By Austin Stadelman, Columnist
September 5, 2018


"Democratic socialism refers to the anti-capitalist philosophy that the public controls as the means of production through a planned economy. Resources and labor are distributed according to what the society, whether that be through means like state or planning committees, deems appropriate.

Social democracy, on the other hand, accepts the market principles of capitalism while emphasizing the importance of collective bargaining and unionization, regulatory overwatch and an adequate welfare system."

"This confusion in large part stems from Senator Sanders incorrectly identifying himself as a democratic socialist, to which he is not, as he is not even a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). He is an Independent whose beliefs align with those of a social democracy, showcased by his high praise for the Nordic model countries.

Yet since he self-describes as a democratic socialist, his supporters also inaccurately describe themselves, or at least the ideas, as democratically socialist. The actual philosophy of democratic socialism is based in an anti-capitalist planned economy. That is not how the Nordic model operates nor is it what Mr. Sanders endorses either, as they both support the free trade and the movement of goods based on liberal economic theory."

It appears as tho her district is due to 2020 redistricting, the same thing that Tx Dems left Tx to try to prevent.
They did draw a nice district map. It just missed you ThePAMan. 😂

This might be a mistranslation.

Her press release didn't address the translation so it must have been ok with her. But she did respond with "I am from both Guatemala and Chicago, Illinois."

But was she on the Island with Trump? Probably not - way too old.

Feuer is a bit 😂 on the partisan side.
He helped move the Russia hoax early. Devlin Barrett, who contributed to the column, did the same.

Tell us about Judge Boasberg's comments during a March Judicial conference and the misconduct charge recently filed against him.

The Russian interference was not a hoax.

The misconduct change is an example.

"The complaint is hogwash, say legal scholars. “This is the sort of laughable thing that should go straight into the trash,” writes Joyce Vance on Substack. “Even if it’s referred for investigation, because it came from the Justice Department and the court feels some need to show it took it seriously, it shouldn’t go anywhere.” That view was shared by Thomas Lee, a professor at Fordham Law School, who tells me: “it's hard to see what he is alleged to have said violates any judicial ethics rules.” And Radhika Rao, a professor at the UC San Francisco Law School, calls the charges “ridiculous – nowhere near grounds for impeachment!”"

"What’s ironic and shameless is that the complaint keeps insisting that “Boasberg’s actions have harmed the integrity and public confidence in the integrity of the judiciary” when it’s politically charged stunts like this that sow mistrust in our justice system."

'But maybe that’s the long game: to erode faith in our judicial branch – which, as it now stands, is the only check against Trump’s authoritarianism."

"The more immediate goal is obvious: to silence judges through thuggery. And what better way to achieve that objective than to make an example of an establishment judge like Boasberg. The message is clear: if you make a critical remark or rule against us, we’ll come after you using the full force of the government."
