If Democrats Repeat The 2024 Problem, They Will Lose Again

Dash Dobrofsky — Thu, 30 Jul 2026 15:58:07 GMT

Republicans spent the entirety of yesterday berating Dr. Anthony Fauci, an 85-year-old public servant who dedicated more than fifty years of his life to science and life-saving medical research.

And as ugly and unethical and despicable as the hearing was, I cynically understood the political reason behind Republicans’ decision to hold that hearing in the first place.

They put Fauci on trial to remind America of what life was like during COVID in an attempt to distract Americans from the reality they have created for us—where there is sky-high inflation, new wars, unstable financial markets, unaffordable housing and healthcare, all in a country controlled exclusively by Republicans in every branch of government.

As gross as the Fauci hearing was, do you see how it is now being discussed everywhere in the media, drawing attention away from all of the aforementioned problems I’ve bolded above?

GOP objective accomplished.

Republicans understand that in order to win elections, controlling the narrative is more important than delivering for the American people

Republicans are solely focused on winning races and maintaining power, more than they are improving the lives of everyday Americans. It’s their most detestable quality as public servants. But it’s their most effective quality as politicians, and it’s where they are far superior to Democrats—a party whose policies aim to improve the lives of Americans, but a party that is utterly incapable of controlling the narrative.

Republicans can fail on healthcare, fail to lower prices at the pump, fail to bring down grocery costs, fail to deliver on human rights, fail on addressing climate change, fail on foreign policy, can cause recessions—which they have virtually every time they’ve gotten into power—yet they always reclaim power because they are better at saying whatever needs to be said, and doing whatever needs to be done to win elections.

What concerns me most:

Andrew Tate Begs For Mercy After Being Placed In Solitary Confinement

Dash Dobrofsky — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 15:13:15 GMT

Andrew Tate is now begging for mercy after being placed in solitary confinement following his arrest on multiple counts of rape, sexual assault, and sex-trafficking.

Here’s what the MAGA influencer posted (likely his lawyer or team posted) on his X account this morning.

We know this was posted on Tate’s behalf in an attempt to garner sympathy for him. His…

Andy Beshear Needs To Grow A Pair And Force Mitch McConnell's Hand

Dash Dobrofsky — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 00:56:28 GMT

If I were Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear I would have already visited the hospital Mitch McConnell is staying at, demanded an in-person visit, demanded he publish a proof-of-life video, and subsequently demanded his immediate resignation for vacating his Senatorial duties for well over a month—despite still getting paid—without explanation.

I then would …

Trump Falls Asleep At World Cup Final

Dash Dobrofsky — Sun, 19 Jul 2026 21:37:08 GMT

Donald Trump has fallen asleep at the World Cup Spain versus Argentina final.

Here is a photo of him dead asleep in the second half of the game. This photo was taken by Brian Snyder at Reuters. It is unedited.

Can we just acknowledge that the media went crazy against Joe Biden for having one bad debate? They called him senile, said he was unfit to serve,…

Trump Reveals Russia Tried To Rig Election For Him During Dumpster Fire Of A Speech

Dash Dobrofsky — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 11:59:16 GMT

In a desperate attempt to prove the 2020 election was rigged, Trump went ahead and declassified intelligence documents which inadvertently revealed that Russia tried to help him win the election by spreading false narratives about Joe Biden and using Trump officials to propagate those lies.

Why The Press Must Refuse To Air Trump's Speech Tonight

Dash Dobrofsky — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 16:28:12 GMT

Trump is planning to deliver a televised speech tonight in which he will falsely claim the 2020 election was stolen from him (yes, he is still harping on this).

He will also:

Falsely allege that China interfered in the election (no evidence)
Falsely allege Georgia’s election was rigged against him (no evidence, he himself was criminally charged for trying …

Trump Praises ICE After Agents Murder Innocent Civilians

Dash Dobrofsky — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 13:31:31 GMT

America is getting dangerously close to entering its own Fourth Reich—where police officers can kill civilians with impunity while the President celebrates and cheers them on, because he himself evaded accountability for his own crimes.

This week…

Two men were murdered by ICE agents in broad daylight. One in Houston, Texas and one in Biddeford, Maine.

Graham Platner Sabotages Democrats By Refusing To Drop Out

Dash Dobrofsky — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 13:39:36 GMT

Graham Platner is sabotaging Democrats by refusing to drop out of the race in Maine, denying voters the chance to replace him before the July 13th deadline.

As I write this, Platner remains in the race despite losing the endorsement of every senator and congressperson who backed him, which is perhaps his worst quality yet (and he has a lot of bad qualiti…

USA Loses To Belgium 1-4 And Gets Eliminated From World Cup After Trump Intervention

Dash Dobrofsky — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 02:42:57 GMT

USA just got destroyed by Belgium in the World Cup and eliminated from the tournament, losing by three goals with a final score being 1-4.

Of course, all of this comes after Donald Trump intervened on Team USA's behalf and called the president of FIFA last night, getting him to overturn a red card in a reversal that hasn’t been done since 1962—putting o…

With Democrats Like These, Who Needs 'Em?

Dash Dobrofsky — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 14:53:45 GMT

Let me get this first piece of crappy news out of the way before I get into the main point of today’s article.

A Colorado Supreme Court just struck down a Democratic redistricting proposal that would have awarded Democrats three more House seats ahead of the midterms.

And if that wasn’t bad enough, every single justice was appointed by Democratic governor…

Can Democrats Stop Fighting Amongst Themselves And Unite Already?

Dash Dobrofsky — Wed, 24 Jun 2026 15:32:22 GMT

The Democratic Party needs to decide who it wants to be.

That doesn’t mean everyone has to agree on every issue. It doesn’t mean progressives and moderates and independents need to suddenly become best friends. It doesn’t even mean one side is necessarily right and the other is wrong.

But at some point, the party has to consolidate behind one direction, o…

Opinion: The Iran War Was The Greatest Market Manipulation Scheme In U.S. History

Dash Dobrofsky — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 13:08:30 GMT

It is not hard to understand why Trump went to war with Iran, and why he announced a deal was reached—numerous times—before an actual deal was reached.

It was all a strategy to create volatility in the stock market and oil prices

In the same week Trump would announce a deal was in the works, he’d attack Iran and announce that he was bombing them, causing …

Ariana Grande Slams White House For Using Her Music In Pro-Ice Video

Dash Dobrofsky — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:26:13 GMT

Ariana Grande just called out Donald Trump and the White House for using one of her songs in a video compilation of ICE officers cuffing people, and apparently they did it without her permission.

Here's what Grande commented under a TikTok video published by the White House that showed ICE officers arresting immigrants.

Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed James Talarico over Paxton in the Texas Senate race.

Marco Rubio Gets Taken To The Cleaners During Congressional Hearing

Dash Dobrofsky — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 20:03:06 GMT

Marco Rubio was shown a video of Donald Trump falling asleep next to him during a cabinet meeting after Rubio told Congress he’d never seen Trump fall asleep before.

Here is a video of today’s masterful exchange by Ted Lieu, who took ‘Little Marco’ to the cleaners by using his own words against him (and bringing the visual receipts).

Trump Falters Bigly On Inflation, Trouble Ahead For Republicans

Dash Dobrofsky — Wed, 27 May 2026 14:26:57 GMT

It has been a disastrous week for Trump and the Republican Party at large.

First, inflation

Not only is Trump’s approval rating in the gutter, but he’s now polling at all-time lows among Republicans on inflation.

Which is why…

His economic advisors are now trying to convince Americans that inflation is actually…good!

Here’s what Kevin Hassett (Trump advisor) said yesterday morning: “The thing I’ve seen is that while people have been spending more money at gas stations, they’ve been spending more money on everything else, which means they’re still very very optimistic about the state of the economy.”

No. People are spending more because everything costs more. And in fact, consumer sentiment is at historic lows, showing Americans are deeply pessimistic about the economy…Trump’s economy.

Also, Trump has been caught falling asleep on TV, and the White House desperately tried to spin it away

Trump’s ‘rapid response 47’ team spent the day trying to convince the public that reporters are the ones falling asleep on camera—not Trump. They literally circulated screenshots of reporters blinking and claimed they were sleeping, all to distract from the fact that Trump has now repeatedly been caught falling asleep in public.

He fell asleep standing up during a healthcare conference, nodded off during Hegseth’s Memorial Day speech, and has fallen asleep multiple times during televised Oval Office meetings…all of which occurred before lunchtime.

Nice to see the media’s been covering this more aggressively.

Meanwhile

Things are starting to go sideways for Republicans:

I'm Watching Trump Get Away With Things Biden Would've Been Crucified For

Dash Dobrofsky — Thu, 21 May 2026 14:24:55 GMT

In just one week, Trump set up a $1.7 billion slush fund for convicted insurrectionists, barred the IRS from auditing his family or businesses, said he doesn’t care about Americans’ financial situations after proposing a $1B ballroom, caused inflation to hit an all-time high during a 10-week war he claimed would end in 3 weeks, and fell asleep during a …

Javier Bardem, the Oscar winning movie star, just spoke out against Trump, Netanyahu, and Putin during a fiery press conference at Cannes Film Festival.

Here’s what Bardem said specifically when asked about one of the themes in his film, which was toxic masculinity: "And that problem also goes to Mr. Trump and Mr. Putin and Mr. Netanyahu, those ‘big ba…

Donald Trump just admitted that he does not care about how the war in Iran is impacting Americans' financial situations.

This afternoon, when a reporter asked Trump, "What extent are Americans' financial situations motivating you to make a deal with Iran?"
