"It is not only a duty to tell the truth, it's a pleasure." -My mom misquoting Oscar Wilde and (IMO) improving the original.

The notion that we fight fascism by pretending it's not occurring has brought us here to a place where Nazi cheerleaders have taken over our government, occupying our cities, abducting our neighbors & trafficking immigrant children.

Man who has never run for office, nor likely even knocked a voters' door, offers advice to someone who has done both - and won. Man who made his living valorizing capitulation by calling it "civility" would like all others to do the same. Groundbreaking.

Harry Reid on Susan Collins: "Always there when you don't need her."

The people who took all of the wealth our work creates would like us to thank them for it.

If you want to know who took your money, it's the people with all of the money. That's how you can tell. Anyone interested in "how Dems lost the working class" hot takes - here ya go: It's the broke-ness, not the woke-ness.

Of course I don't mind! If your words don't spread, they don't work. My whole job is trying to get folks to repeat stuff. :)

We'll never exit revolving door of every cycle being a "throw bastards out" anti-party in power backlash & gain lasting majority to pass policy till we address how rightly infuriated people are at status quo. It's the billionaires, stupid - who purchase themselves politicians red & blue.

There are absolutely exceptional Dems running, and they merit praise, but we do the truth and ourselves a disservice to say "Blue Wave" as it implies voters' actions are motivated by embracing Democrats. It's a "Red Wipeout" or "Republican Repudiation." (H/t Michael Podhorzer.)

Your vote is your ICE whistle, blow it. Your vote is your gas bill, lower it. Your vote is your Supreme Court, remake it. Your vote is a data center, ban it. Your vote is... Revenge of the Voters. Coming Soon.

You cannot "reform" something built to abduct, assault, terrorize, traffic & kill. You can only abolish it. And that goes both for ICE & the MAGA Murder Regime that has unleashed its full occupation & assault on us.

You win by running on, not from, your values. You win by running against your opposition, not against people your opposition shames & blames. You win by energizing your base to act as choir to convert the conflicted. More importantly, doing this, you set yourself up to actually govern.

When they go low, we bury them.

Engage the base. Persuade the middle. Alienate the opposition, better yet, expose precisely how sick and evil they are.

You're a pro! My kiddo broke his pinky. This was 2 hours, 2 X-rays (one to diagnose, one to check if they set the finger well), nerve block shot, reset bone.

"Civility" is just another word for "capitulation" dressed up as virtue.

Everyday newly incensed I was called "hyperbolic" and yes "hysterical" for insisting we call their all out attack on us the MAGA Murder Bill and them the MAGA Murder Regime. If anything, that's too sanguine.

When they go low, and they have never done otherwise, we bury them.

America's favorite game show! Guess what medical care this was for? Note: we also pay thousands each month for comprehensive insurance and with it the "opportunity" to pay thousands more at ER if shit goes down.

When done with this admittedly high level of expertise, it also forces your opponent onto defense. Now Collins must let charge go uncontested or say something like "I am not like Bull Connor." As with Nixon saying "I am not a crook," this merely cements connection.
