If Democrats win next week’s election, their agenda is clear: to go after the President, his family, and his administration.

I’ve been in this fight my whole life. Don’t ever let them make you feel powerless. When working people stand together, there’s nothing we can’t do. Today is the last day to vote early. Let’s go win this thing, Maine.

Every Dem is using a sophisticated model called “PTSD” that subtracts 5 points from every red state Dem and 10 for Maine and South Carolina
This has turned into kind of a weird election. And this is just based on social media, not any reporting. But based on vibes from Republicans, you'd expect Democrats to end up with 55 Senate seats. But based on the vibes from Democrats, you'd expect 50.500001.

Susan Collins’ allies ran ads against me in Portland, Oregon. Should’ve asked Navatek. They knew exactly where to send the money.

Someone asked if I was ready for the fall and it took me a second to realize they meant autumn and not the total collapse of society.

It's 2027. The AI bubble has popped. The US dollar has bust. It's 500 dollars to buy a burger and it makes you immediately have diarrhea. The sun has been renamed America.

speaking as glibly as Beavis & Butthead. does T***p even grasp the profound significance of what he has set in motion in the Middle East? this person whose most essential self is riding in a golf cart fatly, cheating at the profoundly insignificant game of leisure golf when he assumes no one is looking.
Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack. "The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."

🚨 NEW: Netflix secretly recorded an interview with Dr. Jane Goodall in March, set to air only after her death. In it, she says she wishes Trump and Elon Musk could be blasted into space… and closes with: “Don’t lose hope.” Now that’s a final message.

And one of my favorite stats from this report: @AbdulElSayed outraised the entire Michigan Senate field on ActBlue – not just in total raised, but on a per day basis too. 💪

Democrats need to take a page from the Kendrick Lamar school of winning 1. Make clear your visible hatred for your opponent 2. Attack your enemy and their friends 3. Bring up the crimes again and again 4. Collab with talented allies 5. Keep coming out with hits

Republicans will be like, "You believe in DEI? That pales in comparison to my strategy, simply hiring the most competent people" and then not hire competent people
