This morning's message from Indivisible
Your vote is not small to the people spending millions to make sure you never cast it. They know what happens when working people, young people, women, and every fed-up voter show up together. We flip Congress. They lose control. That’s the whole assignment.

Again, <only Republicans> ever get to talk like this. If a single municipal level Democrat ever did, it would be a national outrage &spark a wave of “civility” discourse, & op-eds about how Dems must Respect Real Folkz & talk across difference. Democracy is incompatible with this double standard.

Something big may be happening: Trump's world-historical misrule may be creating the conditions for the emergence of a coalition similar to the one that ousted Viktor Orban earlier this year: Anti-corruption, anti-authoritarian, pro-democracy. I made this case here: newrepublic.com/article/2161...

Once you write these pieces, & find this evidence, they are the story. The only story. And yet, for a decade now, the NYT response to discovering unprecedented crimes, constitutional violations, & corruption, has been to just go back to covering Trump & the GOP as "normal politics." I don't get it.

Trump & Republicans inherited an improving economy and drove it straight into a ditch. September: 29,000 jobs instead of the expected 90,000. Another 60,000 jobs vanished in revisions. Wages rose 0.1%; the worst in 5 years. They broke it. Make them own every ugly number at the ballot box.

DHS says the border is "sealed shut." It still wants you watching ~600 people walk through southern Mexico, five weeks before the midterms. In 2018 Fox said "caravan" 1,200+ times before the vote, and the story vanished after. Ron Reagan has seen this one before.
