Weird thing with emails like from Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC is that this man is quite literally suing me personally and my org into oblivion -- and seemingly committed to ruining my life. While I get that personalizing subject line it is a nice gimmick for fundraising, kinda sucks for me.

the problem for Dem consultants is that they haven't properly internalized that tech - not the rank and file, but the guys at the top - has completely turned against them and should now be treated as an implacable political enemy you can't win them back by playing nice on policy and you shouldn't

In 2024 and 2025, I used to say on tv and at events and to reporters that they would slaughter wild horses as part of Project 2025. Many thought I was losing my damn mind or had gotten too deep down the rabbit hole. Alas. Now they slaughtering the horses.

Got up insanely early to talk about aftermath of Trump’s speech. Bottom line: A dud by many metrics. But be careful. It wasn’t intended to convince; it was to activate and arm the faithful. It was the starting gun going off for a sequence of attacks against the election. youtu.be/HTboRPK5ZKc?...

The MAGA plot to subvert the 2026 midterm elections is coming into focus. 1. Declassify docs to claim 2020 was stolen. 2. Declare a "national emergency" to seize control of the election apparatus. 3. Hope the "national security" predicate keeps courts out. www.mediamatters.org/voter-fraud-...

MAGA media's laughable propaganda about Trump's popularity is instrumental to the plot to subvert elections

Good question. So honestly, they don’t seem to have settled on a narrative yet. One track is to blame China, the other is to blame Venezuela (as you indicated). They’ve been cooking up both and letting them simmer.

So, this is something I've been talking a lot about on TV the past few weeks John Solomon, Bill Pulte...the playbook is pretty clear (Bannon actually laid it out). Solomon is working on a WH task force to help identify (manufacture) instances of foreign interference in 2020. Pulte will declassify.

One thing I haven’t seen noted enough about Lindsey Graham is that he was a loud living embodiment of Sidekick Syndrome. If you look at the arc of his life, he was either a vocal sidekick or desperately auditioning for a new main character latch onto.

Oh and for fwiw, I don’t believe that re speaking ill of dead. Yes, there should be basic reverence for death and shouldn’t go out of your way to malign, but if speaking basic truths about how someone lived and exercised power they had reflects negatively that’s more on them than the speaker.

Not wanting to speak ill of the dead doesn’t mean you have to say adulatory things about. Hope many leading voices keep that in mind.
