“The president demolished the White House.”
“The president politicized the FBI and DOJ to go after his opponents.”
“The president is why life is more expensive today.”
“The president was besties with Epstein.”
Messaging isn’t hard and makes you wonder why Dems aren’t saying this every day.

🤯 Rep. Jamie Raskin explains that Donald Trump's lawyers at the DOJ may have already reached a settlement with him on the $230 million he reportedly wants the DOJ to pay him, and we wouldn't necessarily even know.

“The United States is cutting off the kind of foreign aid that keeps children alive for 12 cents a day, but it’s willing to invest far larger sums in a dubious effort to prop up a distant economy — while effectively subsidizing tycoons who made bad investments,” Nicholas Kristof writes.

Even in the movies, scenes of the White House getting blown up by invading aliens or terrorists feel emotionally unsettling.
It’s the People’s House after all.
So imagine having to witness its destruction in real life…and the culprit is the President.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.
Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

Donald Trump lied when he pledged to make IVF available to every family for FREE.
His genius plan is to rip away health insurance from millions of people, and then politely ask companies to add IVF coverage out of the goodness of their hearts.
It's insulting—a broken promise.

A U.S. federal judge on Friday blocked Donald Trump's administration from withholding federal funding from more than 30 so-called sanctuary jurisdictions including Los Angeles, Baltimore, Boston and Chicago that have declined to cooperate with the Republican president's hardline immigration crackdown.

Does anyone else have an MST3K line they use regularly, even if it makes no sense out of context?
Because I have both "That'll keep your panfish down for a while." and "Come come, boys, we must confound Jerry at every turn!" from MST3K the movie alone.
