Pushback works, part gazillion: "Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices." popular.info/p/how-the-so...

I’m the Executive Director of Blue Missouri — a grassroots org designed to help nominees on the ballot in the reddest and most rural districts. We don’t give “endorsements.” We give money. We fund down ballot Dems — we are the only organization regularly funding rural candidates. bluemissouri.org

I'd like to bring this video to your attention. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyco... It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.
