That Trippi Show
If you're looking for someone who actually knows how presidential and national politics works to explain what's going on in 30 minutes or less, this is the show for you. Joe Trippi is a longtime Democratic campaign manager who ran the progressive Howard Dean presidential campaign in 2004 and the historic Doug Jones Senate campaign to defeat Roy Moore in 2017. He's seen it all and isn't bogged down by the viral tweets or hot takes du jour. He's looking past the headlines to answer the questions that matter: How do Democrats win key races moving forward? How do we convince voters to make Republicans pay for January 6th and its aftermath? What are we headed for in November? Don't just listen to the talking heads. Learn from an expert.

OK, so we're winning on Epstein. They're losing. But what about everything else? How do Democrats put together a cohesive message that can actually win? It turns out it's pretty similar to last year's message from Trump. They're screwing you. They're part of the cover up. Everything benefits the rich and the powerful. Not you. And Joe's got a nugget from a new Zogby poll with a word everyone should be looking at. So how do we put a...

It's TACO Time for Trump... and he hates it. Great. Why this one sticks and why it's a lesson for us moving ahead. What about Elon? Is he sticking around? Why we shouldn't dance on DOGE's grave yet.

In light of the House passing the MAGA Murder Budget - Joe digs up some stats you have to hear to believe. Think America knows the truth about Medicaid cuts? Think again. Joe has a solution - but it's going to take a lot more than Democrats are doing right now. Americans generally like tax cuts... when they think it's for them. But when those cuts are framed as helping the rich? No-brainer. So let's get moving. And start repeating....

With another week of Trump chaos, Joe's just about had enough. Stop hoping for someone else to do the work we need to do.

How bad has Trump's first 100 days been? Don't ask the Canadian conservatives, either. New PRRI data shows that crucial parts of Trump's coalition aren't just eroding - they might already be gone.
