One of the asymmetries between the parties is Dem candidates like AES are carrying the baggage and paying the price for campaigning with someone who says disgusting things.
Republicans are straight up *running* the people who do and say disgusting things. No one blinks.
HOLY SHIT -- Tapper plays Mike Johnson footage of Republican candidate Brandon Herrera describing moms as "cum trophies," mentions he called Nazi machine guns "the original ghetto blasters," and asks Johnson how he can support him. Johnson says "Herrera has run a very effective campaign ... that was his persona online."

Ok class, what do we notice that is different in this video vs the ones we see every day now?
Some questions to help prompt critical thinking:
Are the ICE agents wearing masks?
Are they approaching random people and asking for papers or do they have a warrant for a specific criminal?
Do they throw the man to the ground?
When they arrest the wrong man, what do they do?
What can we learn by comparing and contrasting these videos?
Fking idiots I swear

My friend James is always one step ahead. He made sure that while he talks about not complying with subpoenas he surrounded himself with some members that did not comply with their congressional authorized subpoena. Absolutely Genius.
Comer: We will move next week to hold former President Clinton in contempt of congress.
Reporter: Anybody on the committee rule out bringing Donald Trump in for an interview?
Comer: President Trump has answered thousands of questions about Epstein. You all ask him questions every day. You can't bring in a current president.

And there it is: even though we're well into the recovery, and have had unemployment under 4 percent for 2 full years, 2023 had the 5th highest job growth in the 21st century. (6th as a percent of employment.) Note the contrast with the 2010s below.
Let's dig into December. /1

What Republicans who actually will do anything to stop Trump can do is call their Republican reps incessantly and demand impeachment. Unlike us, they *should* listen to you.

One great thing about spending 3 yrs on the Trump Org. beat: we have a big pile of data on revenue, occupancy, etc at Trump businesses that nobody had before.
So, when Mulvaney says "Donald Trump's brand is probably strong enough as it is"...we don't have to take his word for it
How bad does @realdonaldtrump’s Doral need this business? Look what’s happened there during his presidency. In ONE YEAR, from ‘16-‘17:
—revenue fell 13.8%
—Net operating income fell 62%

It's abundantly clear this is the sort of health plan Democrats should run on.
66% of Americans support some type of national health plan, but most say it should compete with private health insurance, not replace it – including most Democrats. cbsn.ws/32gKQeE

We crunched the numbers. Without Trump's tax law, home values would have been one trillion dollars higher today than they are.
That’s right — a trillion, with a T. propub.li/2owsJD5
