Dems should lean into sneering cosmopolitan elitism imo
it's pretty frustrating how republicans can just spew endless lies about city life with zero repercussions but the moment a dem disparages a pickup truck it's open season

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to?
HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

Trump doing everything he can to make sure Republicans don’t lose the midterms. Trump doesn’t wanna get impeached, but he also doesn’t want face any kind of accountability (hearings, or possible impeachment) for the stuff he’s doing right now. It’s like they know that what they’re doing isn’t legit.

If you think I've forgotten about the hurricane satellites, think again. The Navy is permanently unplugging them this week, on the brink of the busiest stretch of the season. There's so much more to this story, and I have the latest scoop. ⬇️

Unions are a big part of why Minnesota just ranked in the top 5 states for quality of life.
That's why I’ll always stand up for their collective bargaining rights, safe working conditions, apprenticeship programs, fair wages, and affordable health care.

You know that scene in an action movie when the bad guy runs through the kitchen of a restaurant and pulls down all the pots and pans behind him to slow down his pursuers? We're in that part of the Trump presidency.
