We have two elections to look back on: one in which we lost to trump and one in which we beat trump.
That means that we have a lot we can learn about what to do and what not to do.
That is good news.
I’ve been thinking a lot about what I fucked up in 2016. For me, I wish I hadn’t been so quiet about my deep enthusiasm for HRC. I was so worried about being attacked for liking her (y’all remember what that pie fight shit show was like — I don’t need to get into it), anyway, I was so worried about that, that I kept mostly quiet about loving her. I talked to other HRC fans in private social media groups and didn’t speak up when people trashed her or talked about the lesser of two evils.
Now, I realize that I alone did not lead to HRC losing. But all I can control is me, so I want to make sure to do what I can to do better.
In 2020 (when we won!) I wrote 100 days of Biden for DKos and argued for reasons to love him (and not just hate trump) I did it as a direct result of my deep regret at not speaking out about HRC. And we won! Is it due to what I did? I can pretty confidently say no (lol) but I can say that I might have been a PART of a group of people not being quiet and that might have made a difference.
And here we are again with the same problem. In many circles, it is “the thing” to shit all over Biden. He is not doing enough to stop Israel. He is doing too much to stop Israel. He didn’t keep his promises. Etc etc.
Some of it is a matter of opinion (e.g. he can’t be both too in AND too out on Israel, so that is just how people feel). but some of it is just ignorance. Did you know that the majority of people in the US think Biden and Trump did the same amount on infrastructure? Really!! Its enough to make you want to pull out your hair.
But hair pulling will only make you bald and sad and living through another trump presidency. Don’t do that.
No one wants any of that.
And the good news is that you don’t need to! If we all ask ourselves “what could I have done?” and DO IT, we will win. Do you wish you had registered more voters? Spoken out more? Put up a sign? Donated? What is it? Whatever it is… GET GOING!
That is what I am doing. When we won, I pushed for Biden openly, so I am doing it again. I am posting the Boosting Biden series and in my real life I speak up when people say they hate Biden or he is the lesser of two evils or they wish there was someone else. As hard as it is to do (I hate conflict) I say “I think Biden is the best President of my lifetime” and I list a few of the amazing things he has done.
I did this in the last week on a friend’s post. She is very into the Free Palestine movement and was shitting on Biden for not doing enough (ironically enough someone else told me, hours later, they might not vote for Biden because he wasn’t pro-Israel enough.) Anyway, she trashed talked him and I did my little “I love Biden!” thing and my comment got more likes than her post! AND a number of people spoke up and said that they weren’t brave enough to speak out but my saying something gave them courage to do the same thing!
So please, speak up when you can! It is hard but we didn’t do it in 2016 and it cost us. And think about whatever else you regretted in those awful months after the election and do those things!
We have the power to make a difference! We can win if we all pitch in!
This is going to be a close election (which is nuts) but it is 100% winnable with our efforts!
Lets do this!

Reasons for election hopefulness
GOP 2024 Is Weak, Struggling, A Raging Dumpster Fire
Top Trump advisor Steven Bannon is headed to jail, joining two other Trump advisors, Allan Weisselberg and Peter Navarro who recently reported to prison. Former House Speaker Paul Ryan said he isn’t supporting Trump, joining a growing list of prominent Republicans working against the GOP nominee. MAGA Rs tried to take down their own Speaker, again. A porn star talked of her adulterous affair with Trump in court this week, as he watched, silently, from a few feet away.
Biden Leads 49%-45% in New ABC Poll, 2nd Poll This Week W/Large Biden Lead
ABC News poll has Biden leading Trump 49%-45% (+4) with likely voters. This result is similar to this week’s NPR/Marist poll which had Biden up 52%-47% (+5) with likely voters:
ABC News Biden 49%-Trump 45% (+4)
NPR/Marist Biden 52%-Trump 47% (+5)
In both polls Biden does signifcantly better with likely voters than the broader electorate of registered voters.
We are seeing a pattern emerge in recent polling that Biden does better, and Trump worse, as you move from adult to registered voter to likely voter. In my post and presentation from Thursday, (do watch and read!) I explained why this dynamic is an encouraging development for Joe Biden and Democrats more broadly.
Harris is making unprecedented Black outreach efforts as Biden campaign looks to her to bolster support
The big event on Kamala Harris’ trip to New York two weeks ago was left off her public schedule.
A few hours after appearing on set with Drew Barrymore, the vice president was at a small dinner with Black finance leaders put together by software and investment executive Charles Phillips to ask for their ideas and help getting more Black voters connected to the reelection campaign.
“That connection, that appeal, that sense that they see themselves in her is something that is really powerful,” said Julie Chavez Rodriguez, a former Harris aide who is now the campaign manager for the Biden-Harris reelection, expressing hope that the vice president can “root their relationship with the Democratic Party in ways that we can continue to grow and build that base.”
Good New Arizona Poll
- A new poll by a conservative, highly-rated, conservative Arizona-based pollster Data Orbital has Biden up 1 and Gallego up 4. It is the first time Biden has led in an Arizona poll since June, 2023.
and great Wisconsin numbers
in Wisconsin the President was greeted with an encouraging new, large-sample Quinnipiac poll of the state that has him up 6 points, 50-44, and Senator Tammy Baldwin up 12, 54-42.
Note that in the last 10 days we’ve had polls with Biden leads in AZ, MI, WI:
-
Biden 50-44 Wisconsin Quinnipaic
-
Biden 51-49 Michigan CBS News
-
Biden 39-38 Arizona Data Orbital
We also got some good new polling in Maryland:
Trump continues to struggle against a non-existent opponent
we saw another example of Trump struggling and underperforming when people actually go vote. Nikki Haley received 22% of the vote in the Indiana Republican Primary.
more on this: Trump is losing 20% of GOP votes to candidate who dropped out months ago
Despite dropping out well before early voting in Indiana began, Haley still managed to collect over 21% of the vote. That’s not a testimony to the stubbornness of Haley fans, it’s a signal that there are a significant number of Republicans who won’t vote for Trump even when the only alternative is a candidate who is already gone.
Despite recent national polls in which Trump appears to be performing well, results like those in Indiana this week indicate that there is a significant lack of support for Trump within the Republican Party. Though it’s easy and sometimes facile to make the comparison, if President Joe Biden was losing 20% of Democrats to a protest vote in state after state, it would be the leading story in the national news.
In the same primary, President Joe Biden took 100% of the Democratic vote. It’s easy to say that’s because Biden faced no competition, but neither did Trump.
and even more → Trump's problem with Haley voters is actually much, much bigger
While it's easy to frame this persistent trend as a "Haley problem" for Trump, The Dispatch reporter David Drucker painted the pattern as a sign of something much bigger as he spoke to Greg Sargent on “The Daily Blast” podcast. What he described suggested the GOP coalition may be in the process of splintering under Trump.
Drucker, a veteran political journalist who has spoken to Republican voters in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, said that Haley backers have largely lost their kinship with the Republican Party.
"They no longer feel at home in the party," Drucker explained. "It wasn't just about Trump, it was about the new people he had attracted to the party—the populist right, which has ascended within the Republican coalition."
In essence, the MAGA contingent’s hostile takeover of the GOP and what it now means to be a "Republican" is truly settling in—and it's not sitting well with Haley voters, who are more traditional Reagan-era conservatives.
Inside the Cold Calculation and Unyielding Optimism of the Biden Brain Trust
The leaders of his reelection team aren’t in denial; they understand they’re facing daunting challenges. The coalition that elected Biden in 2020 has splintered. “We believe that Joe Biden has an important story to sell and has been a historic president,” a senior campaign strategist says. “But that doesn’t mean to say that everyone is going to love him perfectly.” Which may not make for the most stirring political rallying cry. But it underlies the campaign’s methodical drive to raise tens of millions of dollars to assemble a sophisticated operation that will press the fight in both conventional and innovative ways. The plan stretches from boosting Latino turnout in Arizona to winning Michigan—despite the state’s much-hyped “uncommitted” Democratic primary voters—to flipping North Carolina to wooing a meaningful number of Nikki Haley-Republican-primary voters to aggressively educating potential Robert F. Kennedy Jr. voters about his beliefs. For months the campaign has quietly built infrastructure in key states—a foundation that is now allowing it to capitalize on Republican gifts, like the Arizona supreme court’s approval of a near-total ban on abortion. “We know exactly the voters we need to turn out,” a senior campaign operative says, “and we’ve got a plan to do it.”
Money isn’t enough to smooth the path for Republican candidates hoping to retake the Senate
Frustrated by the seemingly endless cash flowing to Democrats, Republicans aiming to retake the Senate have rallied around candidates with plenty of their own money.
The goal is to neutralize Democrats’ roughly 2-to-1 financial advantage, among the few bright spots for a party defending twice as many Senate seats as Republicans this year. But it also risks elevating untested candidates who might not be prepared for the scrutiny often associated with fiercely contested Senate campaigns.
In Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, GOP Senate candidates are being pressed on whether they live in the state. In Montana, the party’s Senate candidate recently admitted lying about the circumstances of a gunshot wound he sustained. And in Ohio, the Republican contender pitched himself as financially independent but now may be turning to donors for help repaying loans he made to his campaign.
Poll shows Trump’s wishful thinking on abortion is already costing him
hortly after Donald Trump adopted a states' rights approach to abortion last month, he began wishcasting that the issue be "largely taken off the table."
But new polling from the progressive consortium Navigator Research suggests Trump is wildly off the mark, a devastating blow to Trump on just about every measure of what he had hoped to accomplish by appointing states the ultimate arbiters of reproductive rights.
The survey showed that some 65% of voters now believe that Trump thinks abortion should be illegal in all or most cases—a 9-point increase since last September.
And more good special election news → Michigan Republican Unseated After Losing to Democrat by 20 Points
Republican county commissioner has been unseated in Michigan after losing to her Democratic challenger by 20 percentage points in a recall vote.
Chris Kleinjans won an Ottawa County election on Tuesday with 60 percent of the vote share, while the Republican incumbent Lucy Ebel lost, having gained 40 percent.
Ottawa County is, by far, the most Republican county in MI. A few data points:
1. The last Democratic presidential nominee to carry Ottawa County was George McClellen in 1864.
2. FDR never carried the county in any of his 4 races. His best showing was 44% in 1936.
3. In 1964, Ottawa County was one of only three counties in Michigan to vote for Goldwater over LBJ (55% to 45%).
4. In 1986 Ottawa County was the only county in Michigan that did not vote to reelect Jim Blanchard.
Remember, none of this will happen without our hard work so…
Your donations will come bundled with others from our Good News community and will show the Democrats and the Biden team that there are many of us who support him and combine hard work with optimism in our battles for a better America!
Biden and Democrats continue to do great things
GOP talking points are out of date. Border crossings have plummeted
Psst. Have you heard? Illegal border crossings are down. Way down.
From the last four months of 2023 to the first four months of 2024, illegal crossings at the U.S. southwestern border fell a whopping 40 percent, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Such crossings usually rise in the early months of a calendar year, as the weather warms, so this number might even understate the turnaround.
Two takeaways from this development: First, the standard GOP (and media) talking points about the “border crisis” are woefully out of date. Second: Anyone who cares about border security should support a presidential candidate with (ahem) good diplomatic relationships.
Biden Aims to Speed Up Asylum Screenings in Certain Cases
As President Biden considers sweeping changes to the American asylum system, his administration took smaller steps this week to try to control the system’s notorious backlogs.
On Thursday, the administration proposed a rule change that would allow officers to quickly identify people who are ineligible for asylum, such as those who have been convicted of serious crimes.
Also Thursday, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services issued a new policy instructing asylum officers to consider whether applicants could find refuge in their own countries before coming to the United States.
10 Big Biden Environmental Rules, and What They Mean
The Biden administration has been racing this spring to finalize a slew of major environmental regulations, including rules to combat climate change, a first-ever ban on asbestos and new limits on toxic chemicals in tap water.
Many of the rules had been in the works since President Biden’s first day in office, when he ordered federal agencies to reinstate or strengthen more than 100 environmental regulations that President Donald J. Trump had weakened or removed. The president has pledged to cut the emissions that are driving climate change roughly in half by 2030. That’s something that scientists say all industrialized nations must achieve to keep global warming to relatively safe levels.
Lawyers in the Biden administration have sought to use every available tool to protect the rules from being gutted by a future administration or a new Congress.
Another Major Investment by Biden
President Joe Biden announced that Microsoft is investing $3.3 billion dollars to build a new data center that will help operate one of the most powerful artificial intelligence systems in the world. It is expected to create 2,300 union construction jobs and employ 2,000 permanent workers.
Microsoft has also partnered with Gateway Technical College to train and certify 200 students a year to fill new jobs in data and information technology. In addition, Microsoft is working with nearby high schools to train students for future jobs.
Speaking at Gateway Technical College’s Racine campus, Biden contrasted today’s investment with that made by Trump about the same site in 2018. In that year, Trump went to Wisconsin for the “groundbreaking” of a high-tech campus he claimed would be the “eighth wonder of the world.”
Under Republican governor Scott Walker, Wisconsin legislators approved a $3 billion subsidy and tax incentive package—ten times larger than any similar previous package in the state—to lure the Taiwan-based Foxconn electronics company. Once built, a new $10 billion campus that would focus on building large liquid-crystal display screens would bring 13,000 jobs to the area, they promised.
Foxconn built a number of buildings, but the larger plan never materialized, even after taxpayers had been locked into contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars for upgrading roads, sewer system, electricity, and so on. When voters elected Democrat Tony Evers as governor in 2022, he dropped the tax incentives from $3 billion to $80 million, which depended on the hiring of only 1,454 workers, reflecting the corporation’s current plans. Foxconn dropped its capital investment from $10 billion to $672.8 million.
In November 2023, Microsoft announced it was buying some of the Foxconn properties in Wisconsin.
Today, Biden noted that rather than bringing jobs to Racine, Trump’s policies meant the city lost 1,000 manufacturing jobs during his term. Wisconsin as a whole lost 83,500. “Racine was once a manufacturing boomtown,” Biden recalled, “all the way through the 1960s, powering companies—invented and manufacturing Windex…portable vacuum cleaners, and so much more, and powered by middle-class jobs.
“And then came trickle-down economics [which] cut taxes for the very wealthy and biggest corporations…. We shipped American jobs overseas because labor was cheaper. We slashed public investment in education and innovation. And the result: We hollowed out the middle class. My predecessor and his administration doubled down on that failed trickle-down economics, along with the [trail] of broken promises.”
“But that’s not on my watch,” Biden said. “We’re determined to turn it around.” He noted that thanks to the Democrats’ policies, in the past three years, Racine has added nearly 4,000 jobs—hitting a record low unemployment rate—and Wisconsin as a whole has gained 178,000 new jobs.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act have fueled “a historic boom in rebuilding our roads and bridges, developing and deploying clean energy, [and] revitalizing American manufacturing,” he said. That investment has attracted $866 billion in private-sector investment across the country, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs “building new semiconductor factories, electric vehicles and battery factories…here in America.”
The Biden administration has been scrupulous about making sure that money from the funds appropriated to rebuild the nation’s infrastructure and manufacturing base has gone to Republican-dominated districts; indeed, Republican-dominated states have gotten the bulk of those investments. “President Biden promised to be the president of all Americans—whether you voted for him or not. And that’s what this agenda is delivering,” White House deputy chief of staff Natalie Quillian told Matt Egan of CNN in February.

Dow Extends Winning Streak
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) cinches another good day, closing higher for its eighth straight session. The index has risen by 4.25% over the past week in its May rally. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) stays in the green, while the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) drops just below its flatline in the session.
bad news for bad guys
Trump Is Not Invincible
Let’s look at the situation as it stands. Despite his best efforts, Trump has not been able to summon the grass-roots activity that signals political strength. There are no febrile crowds demanding justice for him at the courthouse door, no mob poised to wreak havoc in his name — not that he didn’t try to make one appear. And the broader public does not appear to have a problem with either the trial or the prospect of jail time for the former president.
A majority of Americans — 54 percent in the latest poll conducted for NPR and PBS NewsHour — say that the hush money trial and other investigations into Trump to find out whether he broke the law are “fair.” Forty-two percent of Americans, according to a CNN poll released last month, say that Trump’s conduct in his Manhattan trial has been “mostly inappropriate.” Twenty-five percent say that his behavior has been “mostly appropriate.” And according to a January Reuters/Ipsos poll, 71 percent of Americans — including 55 percent of Republicans — say that if Trump did break the law, he should be prosecuted, and if convicted, sentenced to prison.
If there were any sign that this trial was an asset for Trump — any sign that it put him on stronger ground with the voting public — you would find it in national polling. It’s not there.
Since 2015, there has been this strong desire to make Trump more complicated than he is, as if his power and influence mean that he must have depth and substance. But he doesn’t. Trump is a glorified bully. And like all bullies, he wilts in the face of anyone willing to stand up and say no.
Trump team throws out GOP plan and builds a ‘leaner’ 2024 operation
This is in WaPo but I got a lot of it from the amazing Simon Rosenberg, who said it made him laugh out loud several times!
Strategists for both major parties expect Democrats to raise and spend more than Republicans over the coming months, a dynamic that has been magnified by the significant legal costs Trump’s fundraising apparatus has absorbed to defend him in state and federal courts.
The situation has alarmed GOP officials in key states like Arizona, Georgia and Michigan, who have yet to receive promised funding, staff or even briefings on the new plans since the Trump team took control of the Republican National Committee in March. An earlier party blueprint for a general election build-out has been discarded, party officials say. Plans to open new offices have been scuttled. Hiring has been slowed.
“In order to win close elections in Georgia, you have to have a ground game that emphasizes turning out early votes and absentee votes,” said Cody Hall, a senior adviser to Gov. Brian Kemp (R). “I have seen no evidence of them having any of that. The Trump campaign has a consultant in Georgia, but there is nothing else that I can see. … Everyone is generally concerned.”
and…..
Arizona GOP chairwoman Gina Swoboda called RNC Chairman Michael Whatley on Monday to raise concerns that Arizona was not getting enough resources, according to three people familiar with the call, who like others for this article, spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal discussions….
“There is no sign of life,” said Kim Owens, a Republican operative and public relations professional in Arizona. “Especially in a state that Trump lost so closely last time, you’d expect to have more of a presence. I would think, ‘Let’s step it up.’ I think it’s a terrible mistake.”
In Michigan, some of the state’s operatives and Republican lawmakers have grown concerned about a lack of an operation there, according to four people familiar with the matter…
and a reminder that the idiocy remains very very strong with Trump:
Trump himself has echoed that view in conversations with multiple top advisers, according to people familiar with the conversations. He has told people in charge of the RNC to focus on election security more than field programs, because he believes he will be able to personally motivate his voters to the polls in the fall, these people said.
In private conversations with both Whatley and McDaniel, Trump told them to not worry about getting out the vote since he could do it himself. He told them to “focus on the cheating.”
and……
But in the meantime, the complaints have continued. One person who works on battleground issues for the Trump campaign said there has been a lack of strategy articulated to workers in the field.
“What they are totally missing is a rank-and-file army,” a Republican involved in Trump’s efforts said.
Another key Republican familiar with the national GOP’s operation in Arizona bemoaned the lack of money, staffing and direction from Trump’s team in the sprawling battleground state. In 2020, he lost the state by 10,457 votes and its 11 electoral votes went to Biden.
“They haven’t even sent a data person,” the Republican said. “I said to someone yesterday, ‘No one’s coming — it’s just us.’”
The New York trial is wearing down Trump — and it shows
Pundits inside the courtroom chime in to inform Americans when he nods off. You can believe Trump’s sleepiness has become noticeable when Fox News propagandists try to cover for him by praising his naps.
Outside of MAGA-friendly media, observers are less sanguine about his dozing off. The Atlantic’s David A. Graham called Trump’s slumbers “worrisome.” He asked, “If Trump can’t manage to stay awake during a trial when his very freedom is on the line, what are the chances that he will be able to focus on the intricacies of a spiraling regional war, a trade policy, or any new crisis that might face him if he returns to the White House?” (One might ask the same of his unhinged rants, juvenile musing about Gettysburg and slurred speech: Is this a man ready to resume the presidency?)
As president, Trump usually appeared in the Oval Office only after extensive “executive time” up in the residence, so perhaps sitting in the courtroom all day is too taxing for him. Others speculate that he does not get enough Diet Coke.
Whatever the cause for his frequent drifting off, Trump has drawn plenty of fire from social media and late-night comedians. The man who has an insulting nickname for so many political foes now gets ribbed as #DonSnorleone or “Sleepy Don” or #TheNodfather.
The trial is aggravating Trump’s lifelong fear of humiliation and his insistence on being the toughest bully on the block (being a “killer” was apparently his father’s highest compliment). Any objective observer would acknowledge that things have not been going his way, to put it mildly. The judge held him in contempt. David Pecker exposed the “catch and kill” scheme Trump had long denied. Hope Hicks’s devastating testimony confirmed that Trump knew the payments to Michael Cohen were not for legal services (backing up expected testimony from Cohen). And Trump now knows that if he takes the stand, a slew of embarrassing and negative facts can be introduced to impeach him. At some level, even he must realize this trial is not providing him with a campaign advantage.
Trump cannot afford to lose the aura of power, control and defiance he wields to keep his supporters entranced. A weak, sleepy and docile Trump is not what drew them to the cult. You can understand why Trump might prefer to saw logs than to confront his worst nightmare.
GOP Pays the Price for Booting Kevin McCarthy
Former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) failed at many things: building unity in his conference, making deals across the aisle, and, obviously, fending off the revolt that made him a former speaker.
In one crucial area, however, McCarthy was a legendary success: raising money.
When Republicans booted McCarthy last year and elevated Mike Johnson to the speakership, some lawmakers believed they were getting a leader with more scruples. While the conference seems divided on that question, what’s painfully clear already is that the GOP got a leader with far less skill in scaring up valuable campaign dough.
According to federal campaign finance records, Johnson still has yet to match his predecessor’s fundraising success, specifically when it comes to boosting the most vulnerable incumbent Republicans.
McCarthy outraised Johnson on behalf of at-risk Republicans several times over, according to a Daily Beast analysis of the two men’s various campaign, joint fundraising, and leadership committees.
RNC troubles continue as party parts ways with its chief counsel
Almost immediately after Donald Trump’s handpicked team took the reins at the Republican National Committee — a team that includes his daughter-in-law — the party’s new leaders got to work making significant staffing changes. In fact, in mid-March, the RNC hired two new lawyers to oversee the party’s election-year legal efforts.
Ordinarily, that wouldn’t be especially notable, but nearly two months later, it’s worth checking in on the duo.
One of the attorneys hired at the RNC was Christina Bobb, who was tapped to serve as the party’s senior counsel for election integrity. It wasn’t long, however, before an unfortunate problem emerged: Bobb was recently indicted for alleged election-related crimes.
All was not well at the RNC before its new leadership team took over. Recent developments suggest the party's troubles persist
Steve Bannon's Conviction Upheld By D.C. Circuit
The United States Circuit Court for the District of Columbia has officially rejected Steve Bannon's appeal of his contempt of Congress convictions for his failure to comply with lawful subpoenas issued by the January 6th Committee. Following his conviction, Bannon was sentenced to four months in federal prison, a similar sentence to the one received by another former Trump advisor, Peter Navarro.
Unlike Navarro, who is currently serving his sentence in federal prison, a D.C. federal judge allowed Bannon to remain free pending his appeal to the D.C. Circuit. As a result, the 4-month sentence was put on hold. Given today's decision, Bannon will likely be ordered to federal prison to begin serving his sentence absent a ruling from the United States Supreme Court.

First Patient Begins Newly Approved Sickle Cell Gene Therapy
On Wednesday, Kendric Cromer, a 12-year-old boy from a suburb of Washington, became the first person in the world with sickle cell disease to begin a commercially approved gene therapy that may cure the condition.
For the estimated 20,000 people with sickle cell in the United States who qualify for the treatment, the start of Kendric’s monthslong medical journey may offer hope.
The UK’s Conservatives suffer historic losses in local elections as Labour edges closer to power
Britain’s governing Conservative Party suffered heavy losses in local election results Friday, further cementing expectations that the Labour Party will return to power after 14 years in a U.K. general election that will take place in the coming months.
Labour won control of councils in England that the party hasn’t held for decades, and was successful in a special election for a seat in Parliament.
If those results are repeated in the general election, it would lead to one of the Conservatives’ biggest-ever defeats.
