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"

Reddit post from a terminated federal employee: "The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing.

@maxwellfrost.bsky.social : They want us to believe that so many people live paycheck to paycheck is because of the immigrant, a trans person or your neighbor. They lied. It's because of corrupt billionaires like Elon Musk #RobberBarons #NobodyElectedElon

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.

In this moment when antisemitism has reached a new high, this is outrageous behavior. At a Presidential rally no less. Donald Trump should condemn it. And Elon Musk owes our country an apology.

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. 🧵
