Winning elections takes so much more than resisting Donald Trump. It’s about giving people hope that their better days are ahead of them.
That’s why we won big this year, and we’re keeping our foot on the gas into 2026.

What a fucking psycho. He proudly tells this story? I am breathlessly waiting for all the pundits here to tell me how this is great political messaging. Psychologically “beating” your 8 year old daughter is not something to be proud of. Unfortunately, Trump Vance Musk love it.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

Watching this Trump commercial is the height lies. Trump is gutting medical research across the country. Yet his commercial credits him for saving “millions of lives” because of medical cures. What a joke.

the vice president of the united states is a groyper who spends his online time following nazis and esoteric reactionary influencers is true and yet the press seems completely disinterested in it
If you listen to that last clip of the US VP doing the rounds, it does feel like some sort of analysis showing what these people are huffing on the regular is sorely missing from mainstream commentary
This is it. You cannot explain in polite conversation that the higher echelons of US policy making are on personal terms with something called Bronze Age Pervert without yourself sounding like a maniac

Let’s be clear: the whole thing is a con. TikTok could’ve kept the app rolling on Sunday but by shutting down & mentioning Trump, he gets to be the savior. One of many examples of companies & billionaires bowing down.
It’s BS. But it’s also the reality. Let’s not give Trump anymore opportunities 👍🏾
