Trump's entire shtick has always been "I will make you rich." It's what his TV show was, what his books and "university" were, and it's what his presidency is. It's all about the hope that if you support him and do what he does, you'll become him. It's all a con. It always was. It always will be.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Keep your messaging simple: “Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.” That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.

Dems, I Think We’re Missing Something… Do you remember how Democrats used to refer to large sections of the U.S. as ‘flyover country’? Somewhere along the way, we realized that by using that phrase, we were canceling voters—making them feel unimportant and unheard. So, we stopped using it. 🧵

Elon Musk says Democrats should take the blame for the new Republican bill failing, but Republicans control the House. 38 Republicans voted against the new bill. Republicans tanked their own bill.

It's a peek at the next 2 years. 1) GOP implodes with malicious incompetence. 2) They beg or bully Dems to bail them out. Some Dems will say it's important to go high when they go low. Screw that. Don't give an inch. Let them take the blame. Then we'll take the House. Game, set, match.

Republican women are upset that the GOP won’t let them run Committees. People of color are upset that they aren’t being represented in Trump’s Cabinet. Muslim voters are upset about Trump’s Gaza policies. Turns out, the face-eating leopards don’t spare you because you voted for them. Weird, huh?
