Last year in #PA08, we saw Democratic incumbent Matt Cartwright lose re-election to Republican Rob Bresnahan by about two points.
This NEPA district has been trending to the right in the Trump era and Trump winning this district by 8 was probably enough to cost Cartwright.

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

One thing D's can do is force Republicans to be on record in support of the coup rather than just ducking and hiding
I’m taking every opportunity to stop Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s illegal government takeover. Just now, I offered an amendment at the Commerce Committee to stop their seizure of your data at Treasury. Republicans voted it down in fealty to Trump. youtu.be/wR9Eu--McII

If you are beginning a social media post with "Elon Musk is right" as Musk is literally part of the incoming administration and randomly threatening to prosecute Americans for opposing Trump, then you would be better off saying nothing at all. Yes, I'm talking about Bernie Sanders.

It's notable to me that after years of fear-mongering about trans women playing sports, Republican leaders are now so emboldened that they won't even acknowledge that trans people exist. Almost like it was never really about sports.

Every thing that Trump does is now just the Republican thing. Allow no separation.
Republican tariffs. Republican giveaways to corporations and billionaires. Republican mass deportation.
Ignore Trump’s personality and make his party enablers own his policies, incompetence, corruption, and chaos.
