Let’s call the BBB what it is: The Big Betrayal. This bill guts Medicaid, SNAP, rural hospitals, clean energy & education — and adds more red tape just to access what’s left. It punishes those who need help most, while the ultra-rich keep cashing in.

Thomas Edsall’s recent column in @nytimes.com capsulizes what is happening in our country and highlights a core tactic of the Trump Administration: othering, or the demonization of out-groups to gain power. I break it down in the video below. Read Edsall’s column: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/o...

During the latest PSG Consulting webinar, @geoffgarin.bsky.social and the @hartresearch.bsky.social team highlighted new research on how younger voters are more likely to see Trump as divisive and to disapprove of his othering tactics. A few key findings from the research on young voters:

In a recent discussion with screenwriter and political strategist @billyray5229.bsky.social, he highlighted some surprising data. When asked what percentage of the population was transgender, Americans polled said 21%. The actual number is >1%. The pattern holds for other minority groups as well.

Our democracy relies on public trust and people’s belief in their power to shape policy. After the LA fires, 2.6M tons of toxic ash were dumped in landfills. Families tried but failed to protect their communities — and even the wealthiest couldn’t stop it. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/24/m...

Our latest #FirstMondaysWebinar explored how culture shapes our understanding of democracy — and why that understanding is key to protecting it. We discussed 4 forces pushing us toward authoritarianism: othering, distrust in institutions, distortion of facts, and religious & nationalist movements.

How did we reach a point where we must march in the streets to protest authoritarianism in America? Our latest #FirstMondaysWebinar explored how powerful interests spent decades reshaping culture, defining people’s realities and influencing how they vote. www.psgconsulting.com/videos/v/ret...

In our recent #FirstMondaysWebinar, Dori Howard shared how entertainment has shaped culture & policy at the highest level. From Will & Grace influencing views on marriage equality to The Day After impacting nuclear policy, stories have real-world consequences. www.psgconsulting.com/videos/v/ret...

We’re often told America is deeply divided. But on issues that affect daily life, many agree. As Billy Ray explains, voters support higher wages, climate action, infrastructure and taking on Big Pharma. The problem isn’t the issues — it’s that Democrats have failed to clearly say what they’re for.

For good reason, the Big Betrayal Bill isn't supported by the majority of Americans. Historic cuts to Medicaid & SNAP will leave millions without basic necessities. And now, many of those who stand to gain the most from the bill oppose it. ⬇️ www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Former CIA Officer Joe Kent warns Israel might orchestrate a massive false flag terrorist attack against the US. He confirms the Zionist regime is desperate to keep Washington trapped in the Iran war and will use extreme deception to force compliance.
