"We've sat here and listened to Trump talk about grocery prices and rent prices and housing prices and egg prices. Yet what’s been done to take on ANY of these issues? How is eliminating DEI gonna lower your grocery costs? How is a withdrawal from the WHO gonna lower your grocery costs? It’s not."

Saw a "Democratic strategist" say "we have to earn people's trust back." Just mind-boggling that so many don't understand how this works.

Did voters in 2024 say "I trust the Republican Party"? No. They were mad at those in power. Democrats have to get them mad at Republicans. It's not complicated.

This isn’t going to fix the Sonos app but Spence’s resignation is long overdue. He’s still getting almost $2M in stock and stays on the payroll until June which is infuriating and yet typical.

Last year’s app debacle has finally led to Spence’s ouster.

The written analysis attached to this post includes great recommendations for Democrats and the DNC. I particularly like that the DNC should start treating party members as partners and information warriors rather than ATMs and to have the DNC be a central communications hub similar to KamalaHQ.

We are facing a moment when much will change for the worse, not just in policy, but in the structure of politics itself. We need to be imagining a better America.
A Shadow Cabinet would be a positive form of opposition.

I’ve got this rule too, just no one posts on my feed so it is easier to enforce. Thanks in advance though.
New Rule: You shall not complain about Hunter Biden's pardon on my feed unless you also admit the Supreme Court pardoned Trump for a coup.

I wrote to the White House to express my concerns that the incoming Trump administration may fire Class F federal employees and replace them with Trump-bots. This is the response I got. I’m hoping for a follow up letter from Dark Brandon.

Trump world is trying to gaslight everybody into believing he won in a landslide.

Don’t let it work. Race was decided by about 225K votes in three states.

His popular vote margin is one of the smallest in history.

He has no mandate & buyers remorse is already setting in.

Keep up the fight. 💙

BREAKING: Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski just made a bold move, declaring she won’t support any of President Trump’s nominees unless they undergo full FBI vetting. This marks a significant development and could have major implications for the administration’s agenda.
