“That’s it, plain and simple. Put a bow on it.”

@jessicatarlov.bsky.social says the message Dems should carry is Trump and republicans have made life more expensive for regular folks and is cutting their health care, all to cut taxes for the rich and make the rich richer.

If there's no Covid testing to track Covid, there's no Covid.
The BLS did exactly what it's supposed to do: provide accurate, nonpartisan data. When the numbers showed Trump's "economic boom" was actually a bust (33k jobs vs claimed 291k), he fired the messenger. After all, when it rains too much, true leaders fire the meteorologists.

In 2019, President Trump awarded her the Presidential Early Career Award, the nation’s highest honor for early-career scientists. Last month, the government canceled nearly all of her funding.

Trump: We can't take farmers and take their people and send them back because they don't have what they are supposed to have… You are supposed to throw them out? You know what happens? They end up hiring the criminals that have come in, murderers

The Trump administration has rescinded Biden-era guidance requiring hospitals to provide emergency abortions when necessary to stabilize a patient’s health — even in states that ban the procedure.

How permanent is the harm done byTrump’s savage rampage of destruction?

For the many who have died because of his folly, it is already permanent.

For the rest of us and those still unborn, it will surely long-lasting.

The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc.

And get the money out

I’m excited to announce that we’re sending more than $1 million total to our state parties across the country!

When our state parties are stronger, it puts us in a better position to compete and win in this year’s elections and the midterms.

Let’s get to work, Democrats.

Dem Leadership has also set up a rapid response account - also on IG - to more actively respond to MAGA nonsense from the WH.

Hopefully they'll expand to other platforms.
