#Today'sHeadline In a time of economic distress for many people. Cut Medicaid, get a $400 million jet, have an expensive parade that disrupts military preparedness. Sure, why not? Many communities including mine have parades on Veteran's day. Others have them on 4th of July. We have plenty!

#Today'sChart From our friends at Accountable AZ. This should scare Democrats. For those of you who do not know, TPUSA is TurningPoint USA a MAGA right wing group run by Charlie Kirk. They are focusing on Colleges and HIGH SCHOOLS! Wake up DNC and offer an alternative.

A great read. Be sure to watch the YouTube video that is mentioned in the blog post. You can learn about the beginnings of Indivisible.

#Today'sChart Another great visualization from @pbump.com of the @postopinions.bsky.social Showing us something we may have already known. But it is extremely disturbing. Young college voters shifted to Trump bigtime from 2020 to 2024. Not a good trend.

Hilarious. This is the same GOP that is alright with the Trump cabinet? Oh come on.

This is worth a read. The part that caught my attention is that Trump has also endorsed Rep. Andy Biggs! If you don't know him you aren't following MAGA very closely. Great possible governor. Primary season should be interesting. www.axios.com/2025/05/07/t...

#Today'sHeadline Walz's Senate confirmation hearing should be great TV. This tells us all we need to know about the Trump administration's attitude about the UN. Trump admin = clown car? www.cnbc.com/2025/05/05/s...

#Today'sChart From @kylewilsontharp.bsky.social newsletter a break down from the Way to Win database. (Read Kyle's newsletter to learn more about Way to Win.) The chart shows how each party allocated broadcast TV ad content by issue. Not a big surprise, but it shows where Dems are not messaging.

#Today'sChart Again from @pbump.com of the @postopinions.bsky.social the absurdity of the Trump administration. AG Bondi making up ridiculous numbers. Best part is the comment under the chart from Bump about applying the same logic to guns. This is good opinion writing. It got by Bezos?

Absurd! $300 million to pay for Trump's golfing? Thank you Rep. Dan Goldman to pushing hard on the grift of Trump and congressional Republicans. I hope smart Dem communications consultants are making sure MAGA knows what their leader is doing while he thinks they should suck up price increases.

#Today'sChart I added some text comments in RED and GREEN to make the point it's Trump's economy stupid! And consumers know it. (Thank you to the @washingtonpost.com Business section. Hope you don't mind the added notes.😃) Keep telling the story they won't see in the MAGA Media.

#Today'sHeadline Absolutely no way! Where are all the right-wingers who for years ranted about the black helicopters coming for us and refusing to give anyone their SSA#? Please one MAGA influencer who thinks this is bat-s dangerous and crazy stuff. Just one!

#TodaysHeadline This one made me laugh - very hard. No big political message. Sometimes you just need to embrace the absurdity of where we are with Musk.

#ChartOfTheDay A tale of two charts. Nothing good about Trumpnomics. Wow, CEO confidence is a big nose dive! Polls are reflecting what the public is beginning to feel. Keep pressure on and tell stories that illustrate the economic turmoil and suffering that is about the be inflicted.

Rep. Moskowitz has the ability to make a serious point using Jon Stewart type humor. The budget reconciliation bill is going to be full of gifts to programs and agencies that MAGA favors while gutting Medicaid and support for rural communities. MAGA "waste" never includes their friends.

Another gifted article from the @washingtonpost.com Everything is Biden's fault. Voters see through this nonsense. Trump is sitting between in the picture below. Two great examples of meritocracy in action for MAGA. At least they aren't DEI hires!

Note: I'm using up my gifted articles from the @washingtonpost.com which I lose at the end of the month. I still have quite a few left. So here's an interesting opinion piece from @pbump.com about Trump's popularity decline. It includes several charts! wapo.st/3GKiIJT

Here is some great reporting from @azmirror.com I believe Governor Hobbs and Sec. of State Fontes are going to appeal this if the ruling comes down against the state.

#Today'sHeadline I didn't know "you break it - you buy it" was the pottery barn rule. The economy is definitely Trumpnomics now. No amount of spin from him and his flaks can change what consumers and business people see - an economic disaster unfolding right in front of our eyes. wapo.st/3YilIDt

#ChartOfTheDay Buyer's remorse?

submitted 21 days ago • 0 comments

#ChartOfTheDay This is a fun one. Trump acts like he is a hard working president. All the social media posts and made-for-television events in the oval office. Most weekends he's at his own properties while taxpayers pay for the trip. Didn't he and the VP say we should suck up a bit of pain?

#Today'sHeadline Not a big surprise. A note: these lies were in one speech. However, we need to constantly push with the facts back because Trump knows repetition works. How many people think there are 300 year-olds collecting social security?
