It should be a basic minimum requirement of political leadership that you be an effective and persuasive communicator in the current era, able to tour the country to support your candidates and policies in public forums with real people. If you can’t do that, you aren’t a leader.

It's the voters who are out of touch. It's obscene to expect positive results from electing a gov full of GOP Nazi Fascists and then hoping Dems can rescue the situation as minority.

🚨 💰 WOW — @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn snuck a provision into the spending bill that would let them sue the government for $500,000 because Jack Smith looked into their phone records around Trump’s insurrection.

Here it is. Conway gives credit to Bob Marley, but wasn't it Eric Clapton? I searched youtube, and both men recorded it around 1977, so IDK who was first. Anyhoo ... Sandwich version:😁

Okay, so I did it. In honor of Sandwich Guy, on what should be the last day of his trial, I figured out the chords. And so, with apologies to the late and great Bob Marley, I banged out this quick and (very) rough rendition of "I Threw the Sandwich." 🤣

That’s the thing, there’s really not an heir apparent. None of them have the cult following of Donald Trump, and none of them are really all that charismatic.
I think we’re more likely to see a major GOP civil war for control, that will result in a fractured party.

Obama was always like that - a reporter fainted in the briefing room during his second term and he paused the briefing and had someone go get his personal doctor to help them.
Makes you miss having a decent human in the Oval.

It should be hope that you feel! But we also can’t get complacent. Still got a lot of work to do, but we had a good day.
We just have to carry that energy into the midterms, which should be easy enough with the administration trying to starve people

Trump also just released the guy who lied to the FBI about the Bidens taking bribes.
He has ties to Russian intelligence — and Trump’s businesses.
Again: The law does not apply to them.

Beware people trying to minimize Mamdani's win by comparing his number to other democrats in other races. Those other democrats didn't run a three-way race with two democrats and a republican. Getting more than 50% in a three way race is a DECISIVE win. Folks saying otherwise are just mad
