This seems like the most straightforward and also basically accurate message.
instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

🚨 NEW: ADP report: U.S. LOST an average of 11,000 jobs per week in October 2025.

Let’s compare, shall we:

In 2024, the economy ADDED about 2.2 million jobs in 2024 — an average monthly GAIN of 186,000.

From steady climb to sudden slide.

Theory: the President mistakes his ability to convince people that something is happening when it isn't (ie, "migrant crime wave") for an ability to convince them that something that is happening, isn't.
Trump: "I don't want to hear about the affordability, because right now we're much less. If you look at energy, we're getting close to $2 a gallon gasoline."

Friends, Trump is gone. Listen to this. It's incredible that there is no national discourse about whether he can continue to do the job.

No FBI agent or federal prosecutor will now ever dare to investigate a Republican, a MAGA figure, or anyone with any connection to Trump, his family, or his businesses. To even look in the direction of such a possible target would be career suicide.
