They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

Because so far, we've been doing it alone...and despite him throwing 2 state AGs and the FTC at us. We have been fighting back, fighting for our lives and also winning new case law that others have used to defend themselves against Trump admin attacks. Okay, rant over.

It's like, 'oh, you need my $3 urgently in order to help you in this nebulous fight against this person?' I dunno...how about you help me first in actual fight against this person? Geez.

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.

The secretary of state has power to lower taxes? I’m pretty sure that’s not even remotely accurate either. Just sounds like chum being toss into water. Some consultant somewhere is extremely pleased with themself right now.

This election judge handled this extremely well. These guys seemed primed for escalation; also seemed like real jerks too. A taste of what’s to come…

In my lifetime I don’t think anything has made me want to give up on this broken country like the mass shared delusion about something that happened just a few years ago. So many brains are just completely gone and they’re not coming back.

Ahoy! Yea, that was terrible job on my part. I was thinking is the short answer. Trying to remember that Rubio thing and also process the coverage scans from earlier into something digestible. I need to be more intentional about just looking at the camera and not letting my thoughts wander.

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?...
