Jeffries: Two months ago the American people elected Donald Trump as the 47th president  Republicans: *cheer* Jeffries: Thank you for that very generous applause. It's ok. There are no election deniers on our side of the aisle.

"Repeat after me: there was no 'landslide'. There was no 'blowout'. There was no 'sweeping' mandate given to Trump by the electorate. The numbers don’t lie." My new Guardian op-ed on the new GOP election lie - and why it's important to rebut it! I brought (lots of) receipts:

theguardian.comDonald Trump didn’t win by a historic landslide. It’s time to nip that lie in the bud | Mehdi HasanIn 2024, we have a new post-election lie – Trump didn’t just win, Republicans say, but he won big. He won a landslide. That’s false

There’s no such thing as working productively with MAGA nihilists like Elon, Vivek and RFK, Jr. They want to bring down our Republic. Don’t normalize them by pointing out a few of their good ideas. You can’t play nice with the leopards. Let them into your house and they will eat your face.

These losers do this because their only shot at companionship is a hostage situation, so they spend all day harassing people into thinking a woman’s self worth should resemble their own. If they tried being kind and not approaching every relationship as a transaction, they would be much happier

Trump pardoned Jared Kushner's dad while Jared worked in the White House, then yesterday appointed Jared's dad as an ambassador, but Polis didn't have the same energy for that. Pathetic stuff that I for one won't soon forget.

I am such a believer in this. Down-ballot is the way. It’s also how we build a sustainable future of good leaders and infrastructure to elect and support them, as well as the movements they represent. We don’t just need strong candidates. We need strong organizers, managers, CoS, grassroots, etc.

I’ve been organizing in rural areas since the first Trump administration. Rural Dems can make the difference in races at the top of the ticket. Republicans have all of the electorate they’re ever going to have. Organize to turn out 5% to 10% more Dems in rural spaces. Watch what happens…
