Internalize the fact that FDR was a master propagandist and budgeted messaging into every New Deal project. Despite how it should work, great things do not sell themselves.

My dearest @hiltonhotels.bsky.social. I write to you from the frozen tundra of Houston, where the room you have bestowed upon me fails to retain the heat coursing through its metal veins. It is my sincere hope that soon this room will bask with the warmth of 1.000 suns so that I may awaken anew.

The last three government shutdowns have happened while Donald Trump was President.
This shutdown, like all recent shutdowns, is a REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN.
Enough with the chaos. Time for Republican leadership to work with Democrats to reopen government and save your health care.

Everyone should listen to Chris Murphy's extraordinary warning about Trump on our pod. First, he says the logic must be that the more lawless he gets, the stiffer the resistance.

The problem isn’t that Trump’s a fascist. The problem is that he doesn’t know he’s a fascist and thinks what he’s doing is legitimate, and we’re just sitting here saying ”you do you.”
The problem is us for allowing it.
