A really old trick conservatives use is to accuse liberals of supporting an idea that would make sense under liberal values but that liberals don't actually support for tactical reasons. So you face a choice of either accepting the false accusation or you argue against your own values.
Saw a CBS ghoul trying to hound Hakeem fucking Jeffries about whether “illegal aliens get the ACA subsidies” by reasking the question multiple times after Jeffries said it wasn’t true. You’d think he was interviewing a Nixon staffer about watergate.

This is a demonstration of how powerful the right wing misinformation machine is. They take a phrase or a word some Democrat said, attach the worst possible interpretation to it, and repeat their view of it THOUSANDS of times until even liberals remember it the way conservatives want them to.
I’ve heard Ezra now twice take one part of Hilary Clinton’s “deplorables” speech, without mentioning the rest of it, which does exactly what Ezra calls for Dems to do. I recognize that we have a politics of sound bits, but in full context the speech hits differently than he suggests.

Democrats’ failure lies in the fact they want to follow polls rather than shape public opinion.
If you’re mad about Dems avoiding talking about DC, you can blame the Democratic quants, as demonstrated in this memo from David Shor’s Blue Rose Research

Okay so apparently the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency has become a key part of the Trump authoritarian regime, by ginning up accusations of mortgage fraud against all his enemies, and then publicly requesting that Bondi investigate them, to set the stage for DOJ harassment

The difference here is that when Rs threaten to do shit, THEY KNOW the way you win chicken is to be willing to go all the way. You gotta be willing to do it if you speak it, Chris.
We can play too.

Ex ante, I don’t think anyone can be sure what Dems need to do differently, but everyone should agree that Dems need to change and take some risks.

The effort began after a former Afghan interpreter was detained after his San Diego asylum hearing this month.

There is a direct line between the impunity with which Trump and MAGA politicians tell lies about immigrants’ supposed criminality and the way these establishment Democrats feel complete license to smear a Muslim politician with false allegations and insinuations about antisemitism
Democratic congressman Eric Swalwell says of Zohran Mamdani: "I don't associate myself with what he has said about the Jewish people."

people said “trans messaging is backfiring!” for years

then last year they said “trans messaging is working!

now it’s “trans messaging is backfiring!” again

I think we’re seeing big swings in response to incumbency and national vibes and then blaming it on issue-specific messaging?
Democrats just flipped the Omaha mayor's office with ads like this. The right-wing obsession with genitals is starting to backfire.

“Trumps says” is a cottage industry of reporting. It’s not very informative.

How about “Despite lacking unilateral legal power to do so, Trump says Harvard….”

Scariest part isn’t the lies but his insistence that Moran accept his lies. Trump makes clear his quid pro quo, by giving him the interview, he wouldn’t push back. Moran then won’t say that Trump is lying or even wrong. Clearly guidance not to challenge him. Chilling moment for ABC and free press.

Crazy not just that Trump himself was fooled by the "MS 13" added by his aides to the photo he held up for social media — not ideal that the person with the nuclear codes is so easily misled — but why is Moran here trying so doggedly to "move on" from a huge scoop? Yes, have him show you the photo!
