Is there a difference between conservative and liberal brains? Science says, “Yes.” With far-reaching implications for political communication, Democratic strategists must take note.

Flexible/remote work is good, actually! When executives can’t make it work for their company, that’s a problem of leadership. Return to office mandates are about real estate costs and shitty bosses covering their asses - no matter what excuse they give. farmingdale-observer.com/2025/05/16/s...

For decades, the GOP playbook hasn’t changed: cut, gut, or privatize Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Despite its popularity, they’ve just gotten sneakier about it.
Trump? He tried to slash them every year he was in office.

Why? Because this is the agenda & narrative that CNN, Axios, Politico and other mainstream media want to set for Democrats over the next 3 years? Fuck that and fuck them. Don’t play their DC cocktail circuit game, because Americans care about things affect their lives right now.

Republicans are saying that these cuts will be reinvested into Medicaid for people who "deserve" it.
If that were true, the budget would stay the same. But that's not what's happening. Why?
Because down the hall, they are trying to finance tax breaks for billionaires.

This is why I believe it’s best to run campaigns based on bold, transformational change. You draw swing voters AND inspire new voters to get involved. It’s both good policy and politics!
Swing voters are often characterized as “moderate,” even though every election shows us more and more that they’re really “change voters.” They’re not loyal to any ideology, they want something different, because the status quo isn’t working.
