every single day incredible points are made here & elsewhere by ordinary people that absolutely eviscerate the arguments of those in power, & these same obvious points are never put to those in power by the army of journalists who nevertheless act like they are some kind of noble check on that power

Stop the gratuitous hate!
“It is important for your office to know how much additional pain you've caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend. I am not sure what compelled you or your boss to say any of those things.”

I’ve been begging Dem reps to adopt criminal framing for Trump and GOP actions.
Because it’s clear, memorable, and has the benefit of being true.
The president is a convicted criminal.
He is out on bail.
His EO’s are illegal.
DOGE’s actions are illegal.
ICE is kidnapping people.

First of all, MAGA Murder Budget is great. Second, asking people which messages would be most persuasive to them is worse than useless. Human beings are terrible at reporting why they believe things!

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage.
Just do it.

Something worth noting is how the press is leaning into the framing that what’s happening in LA is a both sides issue or that they are riots. Even when the LAPD is saying it’s under control, suddenly for the first time in their lives the press is willing to ignore them

He needed air. The price was $539.
When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price.
5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler.
He paid with his life.
