A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

This! It IS a storytelling problem.
Republicans create a story that’s easy to understand, full of villains and heroes. They have action! Anticipation! Scandal! Their “beats” are clear.
#Democrats are over-thinking. They spend too much time on backstory.
I am pro thinking. But I see the point.

Who can tell a more compelling story about the US government—Trump/Musk or Dems & citizens who care about democracy, decency & preventing oligarchic rule & autocracy? Whoever does will decide the future of America. Right now, the Ds are losing big. I explain:
