The Democratic Party needs a messaging revamp, like now. You can't tell us "Democracy itself is on the line", even when that's true, and expect to get by on this milquetoast bs. You lost the midterms to a clown show, and its getting worse.

FACT: Republican malfeasance in our nations pandemic response killed 500,000 Americans or more. They called it a chinese bioweapon but then protested and fought every measure to save lives while stuffing their pockets with tax money.

FACT: Donald Trump is a criminal who tried to overthrow the constitution in a violent coup attempt. He needs to stand trial for that, and his enablers in congress need to be REMOVED under the 14th Amendment. The excuse that "they wont let us" is trash.
The debate over public policy in this country gets contorted into partisan bickering, false equivalence, recriminations, and conspiracy theories. For clarity, the real struggle is:
FACT: The GOP followed Putin's money to Mar A Lago, but The GOP has been waging war on public education for 30 years on behalf of China who knows that our economic competitiveness depends on an educated populace.
FACT: 15 Million or more Americans are going to lose Medicaid coverage starting April 1, in 2 months. Its time for you to embrace #MedicareForAll once and for all, and deliver a national public health care system.
FACT: You didn't just give up on the #FreedomToVote Act. You abandoned every major popular provision in the #BuildBackBetter Act. No one will trust you to govern when two corrupt pieces of dog sh like Manchin and Sinema can hold you hostage.

The GOP is trying to crash the economy. Its time for them to either stop, or let them. End the standoff. If they want to push the economy over the edge, then they can take the blame for it.
Republicans are not going to vote for you no matter what you do. We are waiting.
You end this culture war bs by working towards ECONOMIC and Constitutional change.
Or keep losing. Because the argument "who cares, let them burn it down so we can start over" is an appealing one to many millions of Americans. You ignore that at your own peril.

Thread🧵 1/ James O'Keefe is the creator of #ProjectVeritas, and he has been sued, charged with crimes, and been under a federal investigation for his "journalism". So, right now he's f-ing around with @mcuban
and he's about to find out. Again.

2/ "James Edward O'Keefe III (born June 28, 1984) is an American political activist who...uses deceptively edited videos and information gathering techniques to attack mainstream media organizations and progressive groups."
3/ "In 2020, The New York Times published an exposé detailing #ProjectVeritas's use of spies recruited by #ErikPrince to infiltrate "Democratic congressional campaigns, labor organizations and other groups considered hostile to the Trump agenda".

Florida's waterways are so dead and toxic, you can see it from space. If you've never seen how vast and interconnected florida's waterways are, you can't fathom how massive the problem is. It was not like this 25 years ago.

2/ If the midwest is America's bread basket, The Everglades Agricultural Area is it's sugar bowl. Sugar Farming in FL has destroyed hundreds of sq. miles of wetlands and estuaries, and their corruption is only outsized by the amount of subsidies they get.
3/ Phosphate mining is how chemical fertilizer is mass-produced. It involves strip mining, and creating gigantic toxic radioactive waste piles called "gyp stacks". #PineyPoint is a gyp stack. They want to use the waste to build #RadioactiveRoads.
"Saved the country from COVID. Saved us from economic collapse. Record jobs created. Record low unemployment. Record GDP growth. Lowest inflation in the world. Outpacing China for first time in half a century. Biggest infrastructure bill..."

@NPR and @FloodlightNews just ran an article on @peterschorschFL for running a multi-million dollar pay-for-play blog that presents itself as a news site. Him and @Fla_Pol have me blocked for posting these screen shots.

2/ It's a campaign finance violation to not have a "paid for by" disclaimer on campaign ads. Someone should look into that. "In 2006, the Florida Elections Commission fined him nearly $68,000 for 40 counts of "willfully" violating the election code."
3/ @peterschorschFL even admits that he's not a journalist, but calls himself a "publisher", engaging in what he calls "combination journalism." Really he's just being blatantly dishonest, and borderline fraudulent.
