Great story from @frankietaggart.bsky.social at @afpfr.bsky.social about the disaster that is the Democratic Party's communications operation. Message discipline and simple language are Comms 101 staples. It's past time for "the resistance" to learn it.

There are three possibilities for the Middle East in 2026. That things go well, or badly. The most likely scenario, however, is somewhere between the two
The Middle East will not be all progress or all disaster in 2026
In Gaza, Israel and beyond things could go well, or badly, but are most likely to be somewhere in the middle. Here are three scenarios for the coming year

This is an insane stat: 40% of girls/women 15-44 would leave the U.S. if they could. 20% of men (likely skewing high in education, skills, ethics, employability, anti-Nazi) too.
