New tactics?
I asked the DNC’s newest vice chair,
, on the show to talk about how they’re working to win back Asian Americans, an effort she has focused on for years. But we ended up going deeper, with some interesting insights on the DNC’s strategy in the states working to revive the party and fight back against Trump.Shasti is chairwoman of the Washington State Democratic Party, recently elected as vice chair in the party shakeup. We talked about what Dems are doing differently now, including their new strategy in the states.
Show notes:
Republicans’ success in 2024 in getting inside Asian American businesses, mosques, elsewhere stoking fear and outrage
Dems need to be showing up too. Asian Americans have played pivotal roles swinging elections across the country

So the president launched an unprecedented legal attack on one of his staunchest perceived enemies, former FBI Director James Comey. I did a deep dive Friday, in case you missed it, on the origins of this historic blood feud. It all comes back to the Trump-Russia investigations, something I covered extensively. This is part one of a developing series.
