Oliver and Aaron need to help Rachel Bitecofer get more visibility. She's doing smart work on Dem messaging and strategy and gets ignored.

Voters need to hear the exact same message in the exact same way 1000 times before it sinks in, and it needs to fit on a bumper sticker. GOP gets it. Emails. Benghazi. MAGA. You see any one of those on a bumper sticker you get the message instantaneously. Baby Killers is very good but it needs to permeate the media sphere at the same time. So every Democrat for the next week after the vote pivots to that in every appearance. Like that.

Messaging, messaging . Why isn Biden saying now (or did he?) "send me the bill and I will sign it!" Conservative legislators should be feeling the heat instead of changing the subject. People are stove-piped into their sources and I am afraid many mindlessly listen to Fox or whatever talk ratifies their gripes. Republicans know how to grab 'em. Carlson is dangerous; he grabs your mind and then he infects it with his poison all the while giving the affect of intelligent reasoning. People give in to that and let themselves be taken, and then vote that way. People really want gun control for instance but that Republicans fear monger about "taking your guns away" and "slippery slope" (Cruz). So Democrats allow themselves to be put on the defense.They (Schumer) are now using the term "common sense gun reform", afraid of taking guns and rights away from people. That does not speak emotionally to people. Republicans do. Regarding abortion, the rant is a fetus is a baby and abortion is murder. Just that inconsistency about the government alone is an issue.

Aaron: How do you get the embedded tweets to look like that, with just the date?
