We often view the electorate as divided along partisan lines, such as left vs. right. The more relevant divide is engaged vs. less engaged voters. Viewing the electorate through this lens leads to a clearer understanding of what happened in 2024.

Below are some eye-opening stats:

Supporting Ukraine IS America First!
It bolsters our economy, hurts our enemies, and curtails funding for terrorism.

Trump hanging his supporters in DC out to dry in favor of an exclusive inauguration where only his inner circle and top donors can attend is the perfect metaphor for this administration and today’s GOP.

The very first thing Republicans are doing is to eliminate the billionaire corporation minimum tax, lower corporate taxes, and fund it with cuts to Medicaid, ACA, food for the poor, and Medicare. It was never about the price of eggs. They don’t give two shits about the price of eggs.

How is Trump going to cut taxes, increase funding for the border and military readiness, not touch entitlements, and still have DOGE find more than $1 Trillion to cut out of the discretionary budget? I've very excited to learn the answer.

Trump moved his inauguration indoors because he claims temperatures may reach "severe record lows," with temperatures in the 20s (those temps are nowhere near record lows).

Other presidents have held inaugurations outdoors with temperatures in the 20s, including FDR, Jimmy Carter, JFK, and Obama.

Yes, we need progressive media. But we need to make sure we reach less engaged voters. Read my newest Substack here:
