This isn’t just bad policy. It’s a moral failure. It betrays our belief in one another. It punishes those who hold our communities together. And it chips away at our freedom to live and thrive.

Budgets are moral documents. They show what — and who — we value. This bill? It slashes support for families while handing billions to the ultra-wealthy. There’s nothing beautiful about it.

The One Big Beautiful Bill was just signed into law. They say it’s sweeping, bold, visionary. They’re right — but not in the way they want you to think. Here’s what’s actually inside — and why it’s a betrayal of working families. 🧵

They need to emphasize the shared values of most Americans: “We believe in responsibility, accountability, and fairness - let’s cut real waste, not essential services.”

031

They need to speak with moral conviction: “We’re fighting for a government that respects hard work, spends wisely, and protects the people who need it most.”

The bottom line is that Democrats need to meet people where they are. They need to be hammering home a core message: “Taxpayers deserve better than political gimmicks. We need smart, efficient, and fair government - not handouts to the rich disguised as ‘cuts.’”

100

Here’s what they can say. “You don’t want ‘big’ or ‘small’ government. You want a government that works.” “Instead of slashing what helps working families, let’s make government work smarter—cut the waste, keep the programs that serve people, and crack down on real fraud.”

100

Third, Dems need to go on the offensive, offering a positive alternative: smarter, not smaller, government. Since Reagan, Republicans have convinced Americans that government is the problem. Democrats should be telling a better story, “Good government does what you need - no more, no less.”

“They’re not cutting government for Wall Street or the well-connected - they’re cutting services that regular people depend on.” “They call it ‘trimming the fat.’ That ‘fat’ is the nurse treating your child or the inspector making sure your water is safe to drink.”

100

Tell stories of real people and real consequences. “They call it ‘cutting waste.’ What does that mean for you? Longer wait times at the VA. Fewer teachers for your kids. Higher costs for your medication.”

Second, Democrats must make the stakes personal, focusing on what “cuts” actually cost. Republicans claim, “We’re cutting bureaucracy and fraud.” Democrats need to insist, “Their cuts don’t hurt Washington insiders. They hurt you, your family, and your community.”

Examples: “You work hard, and you deserve a government that works just as hard for you.” “Real fiscal responsibility isn’t about cutting for the sake of cutting—it’s about making sure your tax dollars go where they actually help people, not where they disappear into corporate loopholes.”

When Republicans say, “We’re cutting waste and fraud,” Democrats need to respond with moral clarity, “We’re making sure your tax dollars are invested wisely - keeping what works, fixing what’s broken, and cutting what actually wastes money.”

100

Here’s how: First, Democrats need to reclaim “fiscal responsibility” as a moral obligation.

As usual, Dems continue to lose the messaging war. To counter the Reps “waste and fraud” narrative, Dems need a values-based approach that reframes the debate on efficiency, fairness, and responsibility - core values that resonate with voters who are more receptive to Republican messaging.

Elon Musk and his teenage programmers at DOGE have dominated the headlines over the past few weeks. They have bragged about all of the waste and fraud they have uncovered within the federal bureaucracy. And, according to polls, more Americans approve than disapprove of what they are doing.

DOGE is killing Democrats on messaging. 👇

If you’re in power and you’re just saying “We don’t have the votes”—what do you expect voters to do? Stay home? Lose hope? You don’t win by being a bystanding naysayer. The hero wins with the help of a trusted guide. Democratic leaders: Be a trusted guide. Or be quiet. /🧵

If you’re in Congress, your job isn’t just to describe the problem. It’s to inspire action. > Tell voters what they can do. > Show them a path forward. > Help them believe they can win. /8

Imagine if Yoda just sat Luke down and said, “Yeah, the Empire is too strong. Nothing we can do. Let’s watch and wait and hope they fail.” That’s exactly how Democratic messaging feels right now. /7

The American people are the hero of this story. But too many Democrats are playing the wrong role. They’re acting like C-3PO—endlessly telling us how bad the odds are. They should be Obi-Wan—showing us how to fight. /6

The hero doesn’t need to hear the naysayers. The hero needs to hear a trusted guide who gives them a plan and calls them to action. The hero wins because someone steps in to guide them. Luke Skywalker → Yoda Frodo → Gandalf Harry Potter → Dumbledore Daniel → Mr. Miyagi /5

Right now, too many Dem leaders are positioning themselves as a different character in the story - the naysayers. Every story has them: C-3PO, the townspeople in Jaws, Professor Fudge, Randall in Monsters, Inc. /4

All too often, Democrats position themselves as the hero of the story. (Remember “I’m with her.” But that’s a completely different thread.) /3

In every great story, the hero faces impossible odds. The Empire is stronger. The Ring is heavy. The opponent is bigger, faster, more powerful. The hero doesn’t need to be convinced that the odds are long. /2

Watch most of the Democratic Congresspeople on TV this weekend, and you’ll hear the same thing: “Republicans control everything.” “We don’t have the votes.” “There’s nothing we can do.” They’re telling the truth. But they’re failing at storytelling. /1
