@pitiquitoyr @TheMoneyApe That was probably mainly a reference to Pearl Harbor, although it could also refer to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

@TheMoneyApe He also remarked, in the presence of the Prime Minister of Japan, "Who knows more about surprises than Japan?" alluding to the atomic bomb attack.

@jazziejaf @MarkHalperin @KurtSchlichter @SophiaCai99 @politico But it is THE item. Republicans should ALL run on a platform of getting packages of 10 turkey sausage links back to $1.99. They’ll sweep the midterms!

Susie Wiles should take them on a trip to the grocery store because that’s where things really hurt. Last year a box of 10 turkey sausage links was $1.99 and then it went up to $2.49. Yesterday I bought the same box at $2.79. What is going on? Why an $.80 increase in less than a year. And this is just one item.

NEWS Last night on Capitol Hill, the senior Trump political command briefed its core team on the midterms. Some of what occurred was previously reported on by @SophiaCai99 of @politico. Here is a more detailed account, according to one of the attendees at the meeting at the Capitol Hill Club. The group was served a chicken and steak buffet. The program went for almost two hours, starting at 530pm. This was a veteran group, not panicked or shaken. Just focused on the work and the task at hand. There were about 75-100 people in the room. Many cabinet members were there, including Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick, RFK, Sean Duffy, along with their most senior aides. The meeting was hosted by Susie Wiles, who spoke briefly. The pollster and strategist Tony Fabrizio presented with about 25 slides on the data on what voters care about — the demographics, the issues, what messages resonate and what do not. The economy will be THE issue in the election, he said. Messages that break through: Banning stock trading for Congress, transparency on health insurance data (including on pricing and claims reimbursement), lowering prescription drug costs, the Trump tax cuts. Housing affordability is a huge issue for voters, especially young people. Taking credit for closing the border does not resonate much. Men, moderates, true independents, and Hispanic voters are the true persuadable voters. His message was not pessimistic. He made recommendations to spend time on podcasts and social media more than national news interviews. Paid media should go on targeted media, not broadcast or even cable. Facebook is still king for voters, then Instagram and TikTok. There are currently 6 targeted House races and 7 key Senate races. The only way Republicans will lose the Senate majority is if Democrats take 50 House seats. Then political czar James Blair spoke and presented the historical data of how rare it is for a president’s party to not lose a lot of seats in a midterm. Tennessee 7 special was going to be lost before a huge push for Election Day, from which they have taken lessons about messaging and grassroots. Trying to argue about wages being up will not help; voters have to feel it, he said. He acknowledged that Donald Trump will do what he wants to do, say what he wants to say, not be data driven. Everyone else has to stay on message and be driven by the data. In effect, two separate but related campaigns. They expect Democrats will run in large part on the “Stop Trump” message.

@NotHoodlum OMG

Aretha Franklin was a surprise guest performer at the Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “Natural Woman.” Aretha noted in a Vogue interview, “Carole didn’t know I was going to be there at all. That’s one reason she was excited.”

Kristi Noem’s message to the NFL for selecting Bad Bunny for the halftime show: “The NFL sucks and we’ll win and God will bless us and we’ll stand and be proud of ourselves at the end of the day and they won’t be able to sleep at night because they don’t know what they believe and they’re so weak. We’ll fix it.”
