He’s so damn good at this. Jon Ossoff came out swinging against Mike Collins in the Georgia Senate debate. “It’s not just that you’ve hired half the Third Reich to staff your congressional office … It’s that you’re robbing your constituents to subsidize your donors.” 🔥

Any Democrat running for President who wants to win the nomination and then the general election absolutely must commit to prosecuting Trump, Hegseth, Patel, and all corrupt members of Administration. They must be held accountable.

Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.

Candidates for president in 2028 would do well to study in great detail the campaign of FDR in 1932. If FDR had not won in 32, our country almost certainly would have fallen into fascism. He ran a populist campaign promising to return power to the “forgotten people” with his New Deal. It worked.
