Introducing myself:

I'm a Democratic opposition researcher, and this account is dedicated to exposing MAGA corruption and wrongdoing.

Advice from an old-school political hack:

Political attacks are like carpenter ants. Each bite may be small, but they add up until your roof caves in.

Trumps policies are so substantially worse for everyday people than anything democrats would do, so Republicans have to focus on pissant fake controversies. That doesn't mean that's more effective than focusing on the real controversies Trump is giving us

Here's a post about media strategy that I expect people on Bluesky will really really hate, featuring @brianbeutler.bsky.social saying I don't think hard enough about how public opinion takes shape

This administration isn’t just laughing at senior citizens — they’re cutting social security while they do it

Would it have made a big win for workers to call my video guy back to the office late on a Friday night to make a video that 20000 people would see on social media

While you face health care cuts and higher prices, Trump and DC Republicans are focused on freeing their corrupt friends from prison.

While you pay their grocery tax, they free George Santos

They're not working for you.

Stop telling me bows are “the future.” Speed isn’t winning. Atlatl = honest tech: lever + dart + the human body.

Bows flatten the skill curve and enshittify the hunt—turning craft into a product demo. I’ll keep the tool with a human in the loop: me.

testing lots of different voices, threw her in the mix because i'm curious if people subconsciously find british accents more believable (and disconnected from partisan politics). We'll see

Remarkable that the economy is already so bad that Republicans are considering stimulus checks.

We haven't had to do that since the last time Trump mismanaged the economy and caused massive inflation.

oh no I'm actually convinced area51 definitely has a mach 7 scramjet powered reconnaissance plane that's currently nuking the company's profits and they just can't disclose it as a distraction because the prototypes keep exploding

This Epstein story is the final proof the government doesn’t have proof of ufos, because they would’ve put it out to salvage the news cycle

The Trump administration is telling us something:

Whatever is in the documents, it's worse for them than the multi-week political circus the Administration and their Congressional allies are experiencing.

Congressional republicans serve the powerful. With legislation when they can, with coverups when they have to.

The victims don’t factor into their calculations, be they abuse victims or families struggling for health care

sick of hearing reporters talk about how Trump's messaging diverged from Bush

Trump's innovation over Bush was removing the word 'secret' from 'network of secret torture prisons,' and so on, for every area of policy.
