Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare. And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

The reason why fundraising text read like scams is because they are. The political fundraising system has imported the tactics of elder financial fraud. These tactics are designed to filter out skeptics and specifically target and exploit seniors. 95% of scam PAC donors are 65+, costing > $500m.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

Hochul: "This is what I call a legal insurrection ... they know they're going to lose next year. That's the only reason they're engaged in this. It also might be a nice distraction from people asking -- all of the sudden this happens when? When they refuse to release the Epstein files."

Content aside, Whitehouse's response is a good example of how to verbally counter a gish gallop: -Don't try to overshout or outpace. Slow, measured, loud, precise. -Repeat key phrases. Stick to one point. -Wait for the downbeat, pick up on their words. "Yes. I'm insisting on the facts."

The GOP’s identity crisis over Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” exposes a core tension in today’s Republican Party: a “plutopopulist” coalition where wealthy donor interests clash with the party’s increasingly non-wealthy voter base. 🧵 1/ cup.org/4cfm0Az
Plutopopulism: Wealth and Trump’s Financial Base

SEAN KATES, ERIC MANNING, TALI MENDELBERG and OMAR WASOW

Comparative scholarship suggests authoritarian candidates often rely on backing from the wealthy. The wealthy are also said to play an important role in American campaign finance. Studies of Donald Trump, however, found that he drew significant support from white Americans with less education and privilege. We evaluate wealthy and non-wealthy Americans’ financial support for Trump, compared to other candidates, by constructing a comprehensive dataset of property values matched to contributions and voter files. We find Trump underperformed among wealthy Republican donors while mobilizing new non-wealthy donors. Trump also diversified the donorate, especially by education. That is, Trump built an unusual coalition of wealthy and non-wealthy donors. Our results support an alternative, “plutopopulist” model of Trump’s financial base.

This is shameful. The Trump admin just effectively legalized machine guns, which can be used to kill and injure hundreds of people in minutes. 46,000 Americans die from gun violence every year. Rather than working to end this epidemic, he’s making us less safe.
