When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Comms Advice for Democratic Lawmakers You didn't ask, but I'm offering it anyway.

"We know you’re out of power. We understand you’re in the minority. We hear that, loud and clear. What we’re not hearing is your anger. We’re not hearing your outrage. We’re wondering whether or not you actually hear us."

To beat Trump, we need to know why Americans keep voting for him. Psychologists may have the answer | George Monbiot US culture is an incubator of β€˜extrinsic values’. Nobody embodies them like the Republican front runner, writes Guardian columnist George Monbiot

My fellow psychologists may have an explanation why people voted for trump. (Of course we always analyze πŸ˜‚)

In hindsight, were they right?
