At the risk of sounding like someone who has huffed too much hopium, I really believe Democrat Adam Hamilton can become the first Democrat to win a Senate seat in Kansas in 94 years. Here’s why: www.messageboxnews.com/p/adam-hamil...

Yesterday, The New York Times released a batch of Senate polls that suggest a big Blue wave is coming to Red America. The numbers are so bad for Trump and the GOP that Democrats are tied in Kansas, and that's not even the worst news for Republicans. www.messageboxnews.com/p/new-nyt-po...

Trump's taxpayer-funded campaign ads are very illegal, but they are so politically stupid that you have to wonder if Trump's team subconsciously wants to lose the election.

Here’s why the ads are a gift to Democrats.

Don't panic about the brand-new New York Times poll showing Susan Collins leading by 3 points.

We are 40 days out from the election. Trump's approval numbers are putrid. Democrats are fired up, Republicans are depressed, and Independents are pissed about the war and prices.

Here's what you need to know about the battle for the House and Senate www.messageboxnews.com/p/40-days-ou...

After years and years of attacks from Trump, the press is FINALLY fighting back, but I have to ask — is it too little, too late?

What would have happened if they collectively stood up to Trump back in his first term? messagebox.substack.com/p/the-press-...

A brand new poll shows that voters aren’t just pissed about the economy; they are rejecting every element of the Trump agenda. They don’t like the man; they don’t like what he’s done, and they absolutely hate his latest ideas. www.messageboxnews.com/p/nbc-poll-t...

Just as fears about the existential threat of AI broke into the mainstream, Trump doubled down: no new guardrails needed.

It's hard to overstate how politically toxic that position is.

Here's why AI will be a big problem for the GOP this fall. messagebox.substack.com/p/ai-is-an-e...

Democrats are understandably nervous about the Senate races in Michigan and Maine, but new CNN polls show the path to victory and offer reasons for real hope.

Here’s what the numbers say: messagebox.substack.com/p/where-thin...

Trump thinks the solution to every problem is more Trump, even when Trump is the problem. This week's Trump-a-palooza/Midterm convention is the single largest in-kind contribution to Democrats in history. Here's why: www.messageboxnews.com/p/trump-a-pa...

Three more Trump-endorsed candidates lost last night. It’s becoming clearer every day that the man is losing his grip on the GOP (and reality). Here’s why: www.messageboxnews.com/p/how-trumps...

Trump has gifted Democrats an incredible issue to run on during the final stretch of the campaign, and I don’t hear enough Democrats talking about it messagebox.substack.com/p/trump-is-g...

messagebox.substack.comTrump Is Giving Your Money to His Corporate BackersHe made you pay for illegal tariffs. Now he's refunding the corporations and stiffing you. Democrats should scream it from the rooftops.

Two Trump-backed candidates lost their primaries in embarrassing fashion. One lost to a guy who had already dropped out of the race. These losses are indicative of a trend you can see in the polling: Trump is slowly losing his stranglehold over the GOP base. www.messageboxnews.com/p/how-trumps...

Tonight is the culmination of one of the most heated and expensive Democratic Senate primaries in history. The stakes are incredibly high, but they're perhaps highest for the Dem establishment, which threw everything it had at Abdul El-Sayed. www.messageboxnews.com/p/is-michiga...

Trump does so much crazy, corrupt shit that things can get lost. Last week, Truth Social announced a truly breathtaking pay-to-play scam that will allow Trump and all of his rich friends to get even richer, while everyone else is left holding the bag. messagebox.substack.com/p/trumps-mos...

Trump’s speech was incoherent, poorly delivered, and pretty dangerous. It was an act of complete political malpractice that will only exacerbate his immense political problems. www.messageboxnews.com/p/trumps-spe...

messageboxnews.comTrump's Speech Was Political Malpractice of the Highest OrderThe 2026 midterms are about affordability. Trump just told the country that relitigating 2020 matters more.

Democrats tend to think politics is a contest of ideas, or a race to see who can knock on the most doors, but today’s politics is information warfare, pure and simple.

Trump and the GOP are trying to take over the media; it's time Dems started fighting back. www.messageboxnews.com/p/trumps-stu...
