I am physically sick struggling to explain this Natalie business to my son’s Bayler & Kryss. They saw Bret Ratner’s superb “Melania” doc opening night with friends & have been inspired for years by the First Couple’s enduring love. Is it all a lie??? What do I do?? @support

LOL, "distracted and detracted from the power of the message." What message? Democrats, as a party, don't have any "message" because their leadership (backed by vestiges like Axelrod) leap in to quash good messaging whenever it bubbles up. "With Natalie" has been a slam dunk with zero downside.

Repealing the Roadless Rule is a generational mistake that will change the wild character of our national forests forever. Despite every attempt by the Trump administration, Americans have been clear: our public lands are not for sale, and our national forests should remain wild.

That approach? You guessed it, it’s failure

Love how this dude discovered the cheat codes of "what if I listened to constituents" and "what if I modeled good behavior" and "maybe I behave like a normal person should." These are apparently dark secrets that have been hidden from other politicians.

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.

Hakeem Jeffries is not up for the job. They have got to get rid of him in January.

Here are things that happened at the DNC today: 1) Resolution calling to abolish ICE unanimously adopted 2) Brand-new early state calendar that reflects the full diversity of the Democratic base 3) Rejection of insider efforts to ban RCV from being used in presidential primaries Great results here

Gordon Ramsay: "Wow, nothing but maggoty bread? You think of Orcish cuisine, you think fresh, vibrant. It's like the chef has just given up, where's the passion, the anger? A taste of Mordor this isn't. What a shame. There isn't even any meat on this menu."
