Hi Rachel, I think the Dem message is "Making the American Dream for Working Families."
Covers: 1) Affordability, 2) More voice.

Americans have been telling themselves they will not live on their knees for generations going back to our Founding.

We’re gonna be testing that claim in the coming months.

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet.

MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.

I could be wrong about standing by Katie Porter. At present, no one's shown me enough evidence to say this is so much worse than any man and unforgivable.
Get better, apologize, move on, & get those elites, Katie. You don't have to be perfect to meet the moment.

PRITZKER: "I genuinely think there is something wrong with him. I wish that his family would intervene, because I do think he needs mental health help."

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 22h

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

Breaking: Trump has officially lost the Nobel Peace Prize.

Instead, the Nobel committee is awarding the leader of the opposition in Venezuela for supporting “democracy over dictatorship.”
