Trump's entire shtick has always been "I will make you rich." It's what his TV show was, what his books and "university" were, and it's what his presidency is. It's all about the hope that if you support him and do what he does, you'll become him.

It's all a con. It always was. It always will be.

Twitter is down. Tesla stock is plummeting. SpaceX’s rocket imploded.

All owned by the same guy who’s now in charge of our federal government.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Reddit post from a terminated federal employee: "The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer."

Jasmine Crockett, after accusing colleagues of castrating their Constitutional duty, said, β€œMy job is to make sure we don’t have any kings or queens in this country, but it seems like you all have decided it’s going to be Mr. King and his queen. And y’all can pick which one is which.”

@maxwellfrost.bsky.social : They want us to believe that so many people live paycheck to paycheck is because of the immigrant, a trans person or your neighbor. They lied. It's because of corrupt billionaires like Elon Musk

This is simple-
Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.

Keep your messaging simple:

β€œTrump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.”

That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.

As a county party Chair, I believe in the plan Ben Wikler has for our party. I know it will work because it's exactly what we've been doing here in McLean County with great success. He understands that success begins at the local level.

Elon Musk Ignites Online Speculation Over the Meaning of a Hand Gesture Speaking at a celebratory rally in Washington, Mr. Musk twice extended his arm out with his palm facing down, drawing comparisons to the Nazi salute.

In this moment when antisemitism has reached a new high, this is outrageous behavior. At a Presidential rally no less.

Donald Trump should condemn it. And Elon Musk owes our country an apology.
