I use words for a living, but sometimes even I don’t know what to say. This week we’ve seen the Republican Senate cave and approve nearly all of Trump’s remaining cabinet nominees, all of whom are insane. We’ve seen Elon Musk hold an unhinged press conference while standing...
...behind the Oval Office desk, as Trump sat there confused. We’ve seen Musk steal federal funds from the people who need it most. And we’ve seen Trump turn US foreign policy into something the Onion would have had a hard time coming up with.
This all makes me want to vomit. There’s no other way to say it. It’s just sickening. My heart goes out to the vulnerable people, at home and abroad, who are being hit the hardest by this lunacy.
But maybe this is what has to happen in order for the general public to wake up. Dummies voted for Trump because they were convinced he was only going to take resources away from people who somehow didn’t deserve it (translation: people who aren’t white).
But now Trump and his henchmen are directly harming the same working class white rural Americans who just finished handing Trump power.
Trump’s tariffs have already caused a spike in inflation, after Biden had gotten inflation under control. Gas prices are rising. Eggs are no longer affordable. Now Medicaid, a program that’s relied upon by a...
...disproportionately large number of Trump supporters, is officially on the chopping block.
This isn’t what these dummies voted for. It’s easy to say that they deserve what Trump is doing to them because they’re the ones who eagerly handed him the power to do this to them. But there’s a larger point here...
In order to mount the kind of public pressure that can truly stop Trump and Musk in their tracks, we’re going to need the support of a lot of those dummies in the middle who just got done voting for Trump.
No, not Trump’s base. I’m talking about the people in the middle who held their nose and voted for Trump because a dishonest media told them that Biden was senile and that Democrats were bad for the economy.
Like it or not, we need those dummies on our side. If nothing else, Trump’s evil moves this week just might harm and outrage these dummies enough to get them to join us. So maybe all of this had to happen for us to get our country back. But it still makes me want to vomit.
Not long ago I said that when it comes to the Trump regime we should try to strategically focus on one thing: the incompetence. We’re naturally drawn to the corruption, the extremism, and the cruelty, because that’s what outrages us the most...
But those aren’t things we can work with. We can’t bring a single person in the middle over to our side just by accusing Trump of being evil; that’s the rhetoric that the people in the middle expect to hear from both sides.
First the Trump regime laid off hundreds of government employees who were in charge of preventing nuclear terrorism. That’s obviously not a corner you want to cut. This was a glaringly stupid mistake.
Donald Trump’s big weakness just came front and center
Trump’s 2024 inauguration saw far fewer viewers than President Biden’s inauguration. It’s fun to see the narcissistically ratings-obsessed Trump get clobbered in humiliating fashion. But it also points to something else...
Even most of the people who just voted for Trump didn’t bother to turn around and watch him get inaugurated. It means they don’t really care. Even most of Trump’s voters are not in any way enthused by the prospect of him returning.
Outside of Trump’s base, which only makes up about 25% of his vote total, no one really likes Trump – not even most of his own voters. So how on earth did this guy win? That’s pretty straightforward.
The more I look at the numbers, the more I believe the 2024 House majority is going to be mainly decided in California. Yes, California. There are five "toss up" House districts in suburban pockets of California that can go either way. GET INVOLVED in these five races:
CA-45 (California), Democratic candidate Derek Tran
As I warned you would happen, CNN, Daily Beast, and Politico have all now floated “Kamala is doomed” narratives today, all based on nothing at all beyond the media’s desire to shake up the narrative and juice ratings. The media will keep trying to do this next week. Ignore them.
“But how can the media get it so wrong?”
They’re getting it wrong on purpose. That’s the entire point. Major political media outlets exist to drive ratings, not to inform you. If ratings drop a bit, the media decides what to make up in order to boost ratings. Simple as that.
Is this election over? No. Keep fighting and you’ll be glad you did.
But has anything happened or changed of late to justify suddenly the media suddenly claiming that Kamala is in trouble? Literally nothing. They’re just making it up for ratings.
Heads up: the media is spending this weekend trying out a new narrative about how Kamala is supposedly going to lose because polling says most Americans think the country is going in the wrong direction. Your job is to not fall for it, and to focus on doing what’s needed to win.
In reality, it’s obvious why most Americans think the country is going in the wrong direction. Republicans don’t like what’s happening, and Democrats think the country is still being dragged into the muck by Trump and supporters, so everyone agrees were not on track.
But while this number has been this way the whole time, the media has suddenly decided to pull it out of context and use it as proof that Kamala is suddenly “doomed” because election news is getting stagnant and the media needs to juice ratings.
Great news! House Democrat Marcy Kaptur's reelection race has been changed from "Toss up" to Lean Democrat! We've been fundraising for her, and now she's pulled ahead.
Two other races have also been upgraded from "Lean Republican" to "Toss up." What's what that means:
Democratic candidates Tony Vargas (Nebraska 2nd) and Derek Tran (California 45th) were both mild underdogs. But now their races are 50-50 toss ups. We've added them both to our master list of toss-up races, and Charles Gaba has added them to the ActBlue donation page.
While it was mostly good news for Democrats today, one race went the other direction. Our friend Mary Peltola, the House Democrat representing Alaska, is now in a "toss up" race for reelection. So we've also added her to our master list, and Gaba has added her to the ActBlue page
