How often do prices come down when inflation stops going up? Inflation was normal when Biden's term ended and had stopped going up but prices were still high and that was what people were objecting to.

Loosing ground? Couldn't happen to a more deserving person who now is reaping what he has sowed

Love you guys, but 'the Democrats didn't offer anything' on the economy for young people? Were you watching the same campaign that I was? Kamala Harris specifically proposed $25K downpayment assistance to first-time home buyers; expansion of the low-income housing tax credit; $6K tax credit for parents of newborns and $3600 for children under age 6; capping child care costs at 7% of income; paid parental leave for 6 months, free community college, etc. That was the 'Democrats offering nothing'?

There might be reasons the message didn't get through to young voters, but it's not because Harris was offering nothing while Trump was offering them the moon on the string. Come on!

I’ve wondered about this same question. I watched her campaign speeches, read much of what her campaign put out, and was struck by all the proposals that would help young people get educated, buy homes and pay off debt. Clearly, that message was not heard. It may make a case for getting our message into mediums frequented by young people.

She was very specific and targeted her economic plans to middle and working class voters, especially young people just starting out. We can debate why that message wasn't heard, but it's not because the 'Democrats were only talking platitudes' and 'didn't offer anything' economically for younger people.

I’ll bet you anything that they were watching Fox News. That would explain their lack of knowledge.

Can we tie the distrust around the Epstein files to a wider distrust of Trump? “If he’s covering this up, what else is he covering up? What else did he lie to us about? Just another politician, just another member of the global elite.” It wouldn’t be a lie.

Listening to you both rip "the Dems" and how certain age groups care only about discrete iconic subjects is as bad as listening to Trump bloviate about "his voters" and exposing his criminal mens rea that everything he sees is his, including Fort Knox and Alcatraz.

Here is the message you are sending to me, a lifelong Democratic voter: "Sue, you're an idiot who has voted ignorantly your entire life."

I do not appreciate that very broad swath your tarbrush is creating. JHC, who is fighting for truth, justice, and the American way? We, the goddam People is who. Don't belittle us - listen to us. We are the polls, btw.

We are awaiting the sorry ass Democrats to take advantage of cratering poll numbers for an age group??? They never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

The Orange Cheeto as Chief Lecher in Command

Cheeto’s lecherous past is clear He evaded public scrutiny over his sordid sexual predatory behavior for years First the Access Hollywood tapes, then the E Jean Carroll rape civil settlement, then the conviction in the Stormy Daniels escapade, but even his MAGA base can’t stomach the perverse pedophilia story hidden in the Epstein files

Even “I like beer” Kavanaugh is trying to come to Cheeto’s aid But this tale is not about a drunken Cheeto abusing a lady like Blasey Ford at a college party This is a story of a lifelong lecher who just so happened to hook up with another pedophile

And the victims hopefully will get a chance to tell their story Maria Farmer who was the first to come forward to report Epstein to the Clinton FBI in 1996 had her report Kbashed since it was right in the middle of Clinton’s impeachment and clearly Clinton being associated with Epstein at that point in time would have been a devastating blow to Clinton

So as Farmer tells the story, lecher Cheeto shows up unannounced in a dimly lit Epstein office and begins making remarks about Farmer’s legs But Epstein knowing Cheeto tells him “she’s not for you” What the hell does that mean? Epstein then ushers Cheeto out to another room There are so many more stories that the victims can tell Congress and they’re hoping they’ll get their chance I do too

Trump is the one that made the Russia Russia, Russia, problem as well at first. He is the one who kept complaining about it and shining a light on it until the DOJ had no choice but to open up a special investigation. That’s what I read so this is not new for him.

Rick and Andrew-

Just a heads up that the resistance is still alive and well.

Tomorrow, along with MoveOn's national day of resistance for 'FAMILIES FIRST!' we will be hosting one of our Human Banners in San Francisco.

Media coverage, more than 1000 attendees, and a clear readable message - 'WE ARE FAMILIA!'

We're not giving up. So glad that you are on our side.

Travis VanBrasch
