Ah, this may be it: 1989 Teamsters were put under federal oversight bc they’d been mobbed up forever. Ever since they’ve looked to Repubs to help them end the consent decree. Nothing was more important to them I looked, & sure enough, DOJ just ended federal oversight teamster.org/2026/09/u-s-...

The fraternity brothers in the group chat who cheer violence? That behavior is being modeled by the president of this country. I cannot stress this enough — Trump is teaching young men how to be abusive every time he opens his mouth.

Funny how their “originalism” dissipates when there’s a Republican/billionaire imperative at stake. I don’t think “originally” corporations were people, or presidents had immunity, or agencies couldn’t make “major” rules, or Congress couldn’t set terms of office. What a joke.

The GOP has put $2 million to this campaign, and the billionaires have put $23 million in. Their contribution is 92% of the money Tiffany raised.

You can't get anyone in political media to say it plainly, but GOP strategy for several decades now has been built around the fact that its core goals/policies are *wildly unpopular*. Everything depends on a) polluting the information environment, b) cementing unfair structural advantages, & c) $$$.

I grew up in a big sugar beet growing area. People don't realize that "Big Sugar" is both real and surprisingly powerful. They're one of the major domestic backers for the Cuban blockade. They'll talk a bit game about it being for "human rights" but, really, they can't compete with sugar cane

These ads go in the same category as brazen, easily disproven lies after ICE killings. It’s not about persuasion. It’s a display of power. They could have passed them off as PAC-funded. They added “paid for by the U.S. government” because they want us to know they can break the law with impunity.

One week out, and this is where “I’ll do it later” starts costing people. If somebody in your family keeps saying they’ll get around to it, call them. If your coworker just moved and has been meaning to update everything, remind them.

For decades we have been saying: maybe Democrats should run ads that simply quote Republicans saying horrible things about their own constituents. But Democratic consultants convinced Democrats that that would be too effective. So, this is validating to watch. Also, always hated false civility.

Sure, the 2024 election was one too, but 2026 might be the clearest intelligence test ever presented to the American electorate. Taken at face value, he's saying he stole hundreds of billions from the gov't, hid it somewhere Congress can't reach, and he pinky swears he will give you a piece. Really.
