"The Trump administration is asking a federal appeals court to pause a judge’s order that requires the government to fully cover food stamp benefits for tens of millions of Americans in November." Read that back. The cruelty of this regime is on full display.

Brand new data: Republicans blamed for the shutdown (+12) and for health care premiums going up (+28!!). These are stunning numbers. Republicans aren't immune from the pressure this creates. Time to press our advantage. Stand for what we believe in.

The job of a good message isn't to say what is popular. The job of a good message is to make popular what we need said. MAGA and Madison Avenue have known and exploited this. But it also very much applies to campaigns for good.
