ICYMI: Trump's press team promoted a "Local Media Row" event this week to show how "transparent and accessible" they are. It turns out many (if not all) attendees were just conservative or pro-Trump broadcasters.

The most powerful elected official in the Democratic Party at the moment uses a flip phone and does not send email. “I don't do e-mails. I get them but I don't do them," Chuck Schumer told a local news outlet several years ago. www.chaoticera.news/p/democrats-...

This 1,000,000 percent Dems rizz has fizzed. They need younger, more relatable people interacting with the public. Consistent targeted messaging. @senatedemocrats.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @chuckschumer.com www.chaoticera.news/p/democrats-...

Great article - that video on TikTok is humiliation in vertical. If you are over retirement age you don’t belong in national office. You belong in retirement. Step aside.

“The leadership vacuum IRL is causing a messaging vacuum online." @kylewilsontharp.bsky.social drills it. If you're not willing to wage a real fight offline, throwing elbows online will be pointless - especially when the broligarchs control the algorithms. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

NEW: Is politics making a comeback on Facebook? Data from @capaction.bsky.social shows political pages across the ideological spectrum are receiving a surge in engagement compared to last year. Is it the result of Meta's algorithm changes, or just a "Trump bump?"

As we wait to see what happens with TikTok, I'm fairly confident that this was the most-viewed TikTok mentioning any political candidate in the US last year. It's from the Team Trump account, posted on Election Day. Received 160 million views.
