again, this is the easiest political slam dunk in the world
find a veteran with a lifetime of public service who has been fired for no reason and bring him on television with you
do it again tomorrow with a different veteran, and again, and again
show the human cost

Should do that every day, until there are none living on the streets.
They want to give away more billions to rich SOBs like Elron, while they could fix this, like today, if they wanted to. But they don't.
Thats why the people need to reach out to their family and friends who got fucked and keep making videos to share peer to peer
Keep bringing them out to tell their stories
They only thank us for our service to make themselves feel good.
Is it just some feeling of shame or inadequacy? What drives this?
What are you waiting for? Why are you surrendering our country and our lives to Musk and Trump?
extremely fucking embarrassing
Forget about the big, raw numbers, and send journalists into the field to show the individual stories.
People don't get emotional over numbers (well, most don't), but *do* react to news of their friends and neighbors in pain. They may even see that a similar fate could befall them.
Dem leadership is scheduling a meeting next week with consultants to craft a coherent message that won’t ruffle some purple state maga feathers.
As soon as they get back to DC you can expect some spicy rejoinders on Threads.
As the kids say, it’s gonna be lit!
They’ll wait until late summer 2026 before outlining irrelevant policy proposals to the voters.

Just gotta beg a bank for a loan
Other channels will make limited difference where it matters.
Still better than nothing I presume
We need all the low info voters to know that Trump fires veterans for no reason.
Trump even knows to do this. He isn’t putting the families of people that lost a loved one to an illegal immigrant because he really cares about these people. He’s doing it to advance his political narrative.
They never even said anything about the fucking planes.
As if their lives and that of their families don’t matter! Apparently, the Trump Administration is just
about… “dollars & cents!” Oh, and minerals!
Efficiency vs heart… where’s the heart to care for all Americans??
And if not, find them from red districts.
Guys… it’s time to put the human cost of what’s going on front and center.
there's no way they and their advisors are this politically incompetent while managing to hold their positions for so long
instead, they'll kill them all, as they do
It’s clueless.
The USA is in the middle of a heist, yes, with clowns and baubles but still a heist and your “opposition” politicians are doing “business as usual”.

Add a YouTube channel too.
Throw in a live campaign on trains that brings the vets to the people.
Help me out
Trump take egg, Trump crash plane, Trump fire veteran
“I’m an American patriot that was working to support my family and keep your family safe, and Trump just fired me”
Even in countries where the people are well-aware propaganda is often inaccurate, it's impactful

Hard not to see the defunding of social science in the context of a few people inventing a profitable reality for themselves
the interview can even take place in a diner
But Sinclair owns most local news stations, & the national news doesn't WANT to interview fired civil servants & veterans, unless they can find some that further the narrative their billionaires owners want pushed
You know who is great at that, genuinely? Jon Stewart. He basically single-handedly drove the PACT Act through.
NIH program staff who are vets
etc.
Remember when Trump brought out the Benghazi widows like props? And this is real.
Although now they can talk about the eggs they're eating like they were made of platinum.

It's cheap, tacky, unnecessary journalism. People are angry but Chris wants more attention.
Democrats seeing a manuscript from the 1800’s on how to navigate politics by not causing waves or even a ripple: 🤩
Hey, look, a strategy!
And yet she keeps going! Take note those who would be cowards
