It's good to know our Dem Party people are actually doing the work to fight back.

Thank you for all of this, Ariella! The Trump Madness bracket is great!

Best takeaway for me (we are looking for different messages to help our narrative and sanity)...I shared this with a couple private groups... thanks

Hidden in Ariella Lum's Substack update is the first Senator to go on the record about Schumer (more or less)

I have been following the slow burn of Pelosi's comments from Tues.

Sen Michael Bennet (CO)

Said in his town hall:

And in dodging your question, let me just say it's important for people to know when it's time to go. We're going to have conversations, I'm sure, in the foreseeable future, about all the Democratic leadership.

Bennet's my senator too. Good to see him be stand-up!

Aha. We both seem to have radar ready for this.

I liked that Trump Madness too. However, I've been following Anat Shenker-Osario, a messaging expert, and I think all progressive democrats, in office and not, could learn a lot from her - putting things in the positive, for instance, can make a much clearer message and gains more supporters, or staying away from intellectual concepts and addressing real-time issues, like healthcare costs, or the regime's (don't call them the government, she says, the civil servants are the government) thievery. She does a lot of focus groups with disaffected voters.

Did you watch the update today? I don't usually stay on for the whole hour but basically did.
