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.
Hook and Squeeze

@phill.hallambaker.com Really enjoyed your talk at HOPE yesterday. Was thinking about your point re: "devil is in the deployment". You'll need a splashy debut & notable figures on-platform/protocol at launch. Easiest path on that may be "kill Cameo". LMK if you'd like to discuss further. Thanks!

Seeing lots of posts from people deleting DoorDash bc they’re outraged the company is asking the GOP to kill DC home rule—all to avoid a $0.20 delivery fee. As a DC resident, I just want to say thank you. And screw DoorDash.

Decoding Fox News@decodingfoxnews.bsky.social · 2mo agoKaroline Leavitt seems to think the United States was founded on the values of prison, police and private property. That sounds more like the police state of President Trump's dreams. Don't touch that liner in the reflecting pool!
The reflecting pool mess started funny but there's absolutely nothing funny about the DOJ securing an indictment of a man for touching a pond because the president made up a conspiracy theory about vandals that it needed to validate. That's totalitarian
