So, Trump doubles down on support for Russia in the Ukraine war right before midterms, followed soon after by an apparent Russia originated AI attack on Talarico…coincidence?

It makes no difference that some Trump voters feel regret - what matters is they will still vote republican in November unless @democrats.org give them something to vote for.

2026 campaign talking points continue to write themselves @democrats.org Sen. Graham on Ballroom: If you don't think $400 million of taxpayer money is a good investment to create a secure facility at The White House, then I disagree. I bet you 90% of Americans would love to have a better facility.

How does American politics really work?

I feel like our government is analogous to the 2012 Red Sox under Bobby Valentine. A total shit-show run by clowns. How could we have let this happen? It’s surreal.

@democrats.org This should be in every speech, in every political ad, every interview- this resonates. Use it.

I hear what people are saying about waiving whatever flag you want- but nothing would be more impactful on American viewers than images of peaceful protesters waiving hundreds of American flags. Until that happens, marginal republicans will justify police violence as enforcement against immigrants.

but anyways, this blatant breaking of the law (Posse Comitatus Act) and likely future enactment of the Insurrection Act combined with the upcoming military parade is a clear reinforcement of that fact that Trump has an extremely small penis and is no longer capable of en erection.

I don’t know which is worse - the Republicans use of the marines for a largely peaceful protest, or the @democrats.org inability to rally the American people against it (despite efforts). My father in-law called outraged at what these protesters are making Trump do(!) He isn’t alone in his idiocy.

Okay, fess up - who spiked Dumbo Don’s Diet Coke’s today?

If recent history has taught us anything, it’s that we can’t rely on poll numbers to predict the future. It will take a sustained, consistent, targeted message starting now until the next election to bring about positive change. @democrats.org @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social

As a party, we are prisoners being held hostage by people who simply refuse to accept that their time has passed and won’t accept that others more capable right now. Stay in the Senate, but step down from leadership. It’s time for a new approach, a new face, & a new voice.

Trump owes his presidency and freedom to due process. Now, he’s shredding this foundational constitutional right for everyone else. Commentary from @swin24.bsky.social ⤵️

The @democrats.org @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov need to all get on the same page with the same message and attack. Check your ego’s at the door and fight for democracy and the economy. PS - whatever you might think of Pritzker, his message resonated. Try it.

New in PN: Arresting judges is a 5-alarm escalation "It’s not just that Dugan was arrested, but how she was arrested. The whole point was to cause a scene. There’s no allegation she was attempting to evade arrest, but the FBI still forced a sitting judge to do a perp walk at her place of work."

"It's time to fight everywhere and all at once" Pritzker says, blasting "the do nothing crowd" of Dems in response to Republicans: "We have to abandon the culture of incrementalism that has led us to swallow their cruelty and their callousness with barely a cowardly croak."

Roberts has been avoiding a fight with the Trump Administration because he fears Trump will steamroll the courts and invalidate the rule of law. Trump has now forced his hand. This will be an interesting show-down. If Trump ignores the court now, the Constitution is dead.

I’m getting concerned that the @democrats.org are not able to get members on board with a consistent message that resonates with Americans. 1) Democracy/Constitution 2) The economy Members need to stop going into rat holes. We can fix these other issues when you win the election!

@democrats.org @housedemocrats.bsky.social Muse. Uprising. Get permission to use it and put it in all of your campaign commercials/social media ads. Mix in snippets of all the stupid things the republicans (Trump, Musk, etc) have said and done. Over and over and over…

@democrats.org @housedemocrats.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov People that hear the same, consistent message - day after day, week after week, year after year - start to embrace that message. You need to start today to win the Presidency in 2028. Get to it!

I can’t help but think that the republicans will relent on their tariffs by the end of the week and declare victory - thereafter touting their financial savviness - even though nothing will materially change.

@democrats.org @housedemocrats.bsky.social @lincolnproject.us You can’t protect people’s rights if you have no power!! You need a long term, consistent, targeted message that reaches the majority!! Stop campaigning on the fringes or you will keep losing.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Remember the fiscal far-right morons in the House that wanted to tank the economy by not agreeing to raise the debt limit a few years back? Well, now they own the presidency and control congress.

Way to go Wisconsin. @democrats.org - Wisconsin won on a grass roots, local level. Imagine what a unified national campaign might do? With something like that you might have won the Florida seat too.

How is that long term strategy coming @democrats.org? Are you planning to filibuster for the next 2 years? Or are you going to start getting your base back? Lets go!! Find your script, pass it out and hammer it home!! The next election cycle starts NOW!

This. Get your house in order @democrats.org @markey.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov Message to the majority so that you can protect the minority.

Trump signed an EO requiring additional identification requirements for voters. @democrats.org @housedemocrats.bsky.social -don’t wait for the Supreme Court to uphold this - start a grassroots campaign in every state immediately to help your voters get prepared for the next election. It starts now.

I wonder - if by chance a @democrats.org wins the presidency in 4 years - what these Trump supporters would say if the new Pres signs EO’s targeting folks who were not born in the US and have done harm to it - followed by the disappearance and deportation of Musk and Murdoch. Still constitutional?

@democrats.org Every day without a unified long term marketing/publicity campaign is another day lost. Voters don’t pay attention to details. You need talking points. Focus in what they are taking from people. Focus in how they are smothering democracy. Target 3 or 4 things and hammer them home.

To the @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @democrats.org - what are we doing here?!?! Take the gloves off. Focus on your base: workers, seniors, vets. Social Security, Vet benefits, jobs, oligarch power - these issues sell if you can find a consistent, common message. Even in the south. Get to work!

I’m rooting for Mayo - but this @patriots.com.web.brid.gy team is undisciplined and clearly out coached week-after-week. ML Carr redux. Something needs to change next season.

Loving this. But wondering how long before we paint our Bluesky the darkest grey (a universe away?)… Sorry…had to go there 🤪

Hello!! Anybody out there? Deleted X. Looking for a new home. Seems kinda quiet in here….
