Free and fair elections are good for business. Having a stable rule of law is important to the economy. Not having people afraid to go to work because they might be beaten up or disappeared is essential to a productive workforce. Democracy is essential for a strong economy.

Voters discover that hot stove, yet again, turns out to be hot
Independents blame Trump and the GOP for the shutdown by a 2:1 margin.
Trump’s approval with people under 30 has completely cratered.
63% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s management of the federal government.

I was part of the internal Trump administration team trying to convince the president to end the shutdown in 2018 - 2019 — for 35 days — before people went hungry, workers lost pay, and government services collapsed.
Here’s what I learned: he doesn’t give a shit.

Right now, no Republican in a swing district can hold a town hall because everyone in their district is showing up to scream at them.
Democrats have a clear message: Republicans are cutting healthcare and jacking up the cost of living. It does not bode well for them heading into 2026.
