Affordability.
Jamie Raskin promises Democrats will be going after corporations and law firms that "collaborated," "capitulated" and "surrendered" to Trump. Translation: We will try to destroy any company or firm that dared to work with the Trump administration. Examples must be made for defying the will of the Democrat party. It was all about healthcare and affordability, you guys.

The problem with the GOP is that it’s a fraud scheme. They promise to shrink government but never do. The problem with the Democratic Party is that it’s NOT a fraud scheme. They promise to expand government and they always do.

“Yeah I wanna put this prop on the ballot” “What is it” “It gives me like $4b” “Wait what?” “Yeah I want $4B” “To do what?” “Idk like some research or something” “How many work there” “Like 3” “And you need $4b” “Yes” “Okay”
Something feels a bit iffy about California prop 38. Doing a popular vote proposed by a 3 person non-profit that gives said non profit $4.2B from the public! I hope Gary is great and knows how to spend $4.2B well because it’s done.

Steve Hilton ran a great campaign. He had great practical solutions that would make day-to-day life more affordable for Californians. He visited every corner of California, never dodged questions, and did everything he could to speak with every day Californians. It just wasn’t enough. The majority of Californians are too brainwashed, and/or ignorant, to recognize that the status quo is destroying the middle class. Great work @SteveHiltonx. Many of us appreciate what you tried to do.

To everybody celebrating Greg Abbott’s defeat, what if I told you there was a way to watch an unlikable old guy lose in Texas almost every Sunday?

Prediction for January 1, 2027: a barrage of new bills with names like "The Kittens, Puppies and Unicorns Proliferation Act" which contain nothing even remotely close to kittens, puppies or unicorns.

Imagine for a minute the script is flipped, you repatriate to Gaza, run for and win public office, and your first order of business is a tweet that you're the first American to do so accentuated by a sole American flag emoji. How would you expect that to go over?
We made history. 🇵🇸

I don’t care what side you’re on. Or if you don’t have a political party. I don’t care if you’re rich, poor, black, white, whatever. If you win an American office and the first thing you do is post a flag of somewhere else, you simply aren’t trying to propel our country forward.
We made history. 🇵🇸
