The morning after this same administration fought to deny food to 42 million people, we read:
"In addition to the $4 trillion in tax cuts that President Trump signed into law in July... the administration is now adding hundreds of billions of dollars in new breaks for big businesses and investors."

Yeah, I’m on a train with some time on my hands and finally getting around to changing my 401k asset allocations, but maybe it’s a good thing I can’t actually do this on my phone (seemingly).

I did once get a ride from an out-of-service bus and it felt very sketchy (though the driver was doing me a favor, since I’d missed the last bus). Wonder how long he kept his job…

Thanks for pushing back on the doomerist idea that all Trump voters are evil people who Dems cannot & should not try to reach. Yes, base turnout matters, and so do core Dem principles. But with small margins in swing states, it’s worth trying to understand what principled message might sway them.
