I suppose this is a bit of good news. But of course, would all those Republicans that now think he doesn't have the mental fittness to be president, vote for a Democrat? Excuse time from the GOP and particularly the Republicans in the Senate.
4. Even most Republicans don't think Trump is ethical.

Join the economic boycott! I gave up Paramount+ and will miss the Survivor 50 early episodes at a minimum and I'm a big Survivor fan! Now I'm going to try to get through the month of February without buying anything on Amazon.

A great discussion on the murder of Alex Pretti. Included is the idea of an economic boycott or disengagement. This is worth your attention. Let's begin putting pressure on the Trump administration where it hurts - the economy! This needs leadership.

Great opinion piece from Bump. As well as sharing videos that tell the truth about the latest killing by CPB officers, share thoughtful essays about what hypocrisy looks like in the age of Trump. Let's get the message out there as far as possible.

Big change in most sub-groups of the electorate, (well except Whites). There is much more work to do. Continue to give examples of where and how the Trump administration affects voters.

My 2 thoughts: Only 11% of Republicans think the country is worse off. Never admit it is the hallmark of the GOP now. I'm more curious about the Dems & Independents that think the country is about the same. Is that total disaffection with the status quo?

December jobs numbers are out: Employment continues to slow, and we added +50k jobs. The unemployment rate fell a tick to 4.4%.
Oooph, revisions are brutal: October revised down -68k to -173k; November revised down -8k to +56k. Remember: The Fed thinks these numbers are overstated by 60k.

Our AZ Sec. of State Adrian Fontes is working hard to protect voter information. I'm wondering why a certain (I will not name them) influential AZ PAC will not endorse him. If you know the group and our a member of it, ask them to change their criteria for endorsements. This matters!
🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice sued Arizona and Connecticut Tuesday, expanding its unprecedented campaign to force states to turn over their unredacted voter rolls.
