25. It's clear that this is going to be the Republican strategy this fall.

It's all over the internet today that Mamdani is "taking your AC awwwwaaaaayyyyy" because he's a commie pinko etc. Lindsey Graham and others are tweeting like mad. The fact that it sounds silly doesn't matter. The GOP is going to do a daily drip drip drip of Reds Under the Bed.

I hope the Democratic Party is ready for this. I hope all our candidates are ready for this.

As for House candidates in various districts, I hope all Democrats will respond that every congressional district reflects its community and let's talk about our district and why the Dem candidate in our district should be elected.

If we don't take back the House and Senate this fall I'm not sure we can get the country back, ever. There's a lot at stake and I expect a lot of dirty tricks by the GOP and their billionaires.
