@GottaLaff @johnmclaren For months, Laffy has been diligent in regularly highlighting the actual economic developments that put the lie to the relentless talk from some quarters about recession.Going forward, all Democrats should be talking non-stop about the historic economic comeback under Joe Biden and contrasting it with the chaos Trump left behind and the grim future MAGA Republicans are threatening.

@GottaLaff Today's price-increasing Trump tariffs are another betrayal of ordinary Americans and come on the heels of Trump freezing job-creating infrastructure projects, corruptly turning over Americans' private data to Elon Musk, recklessly gutting the aviation safety committee, and doing absolutely nothing to build on last year's robust growth in real wages.

Musk trying to undermine the free and hugely popular Direct File program for taxpayers on behalf of corporate lobbyists for TurboTax and H&R Block is just another example of how the Trump administration is betraying middle-class Americans.

@GottaLaff Sen. Murphy is doing the best job among elected Ds of hammering this point (though it would be better if he was more active on his Bluesky account, where this video has not yet appeared).
