Warring Democrats will need more than Trump hatred to win in 2028 |
The Democratic Party is fracturing from within, held together only by shared opposition to Donald Trump. Deep divisions over taxes, gender issues, climate policy, and Israel threaten to explode once Trump leaves office. With progressives like AOC and Zohran Mamdani pushing costly socialist agendas and moderates struggling for relevance, the party's lack of vision is glaring. History may favor a Democratic House takeover in November, but come 2028, the real battle begins — and Trump hatred alone won't be enough to win. |
"Currently, shared hatred of Donald Trump is the baling wire holding the fractured Democratic Party together." |

Someone just spent $236,000,000 on a painting. Here’s why it matters for your wallet.
Late last year, a Klimt sold for the highest price ever paid for modern art at auction.
An outlier sure, but it wasn't a fluke. U.S. auction sales grew 23.1% in 2025. The $1-5mm segment even grew 40.8% YoY.
Now, the S&P, teetering on all time highs, just posted its worst quarter since 2022, oil was up 94% (briefly), and Moody's puts recession odds at 48.6%.
Each environment is unique, but after dot-com, post war and contemporary art grew about 24% annually for a decade. After 2008, about 11% for 12 years.
It’s also had near-zero correlation with the S&P 500 since ‘95.*
Now, Masterworks lets you invest in shares of artworks featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso.
$1.3 billion invested across over 500 artworks.
28 sales to date.
Net annualized returns on sold works held 12 months+ like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8%.
Shares can sell quickly, but my subscribers can skip the waitlist:

Nike Withdraws Boston Marathon Commercial Amid 'Pace-Shaming' Controversy |
Nike pulled a controversial Boston Marathon ad after widespread backlash over perceived "pace-shaming." The original message at their Newbury Street flagship store read "Runners welcome. Walkers tolerated," sparking criticism for marginalizing participants who walk due to injury, disability, or personal preference. Nike replaced it with "Boston will always remind you, movement is what matters." But the reversal triggered its own backlash, with many defenders arguing the original slogan captured the competitive spirit of the race and that critics were being overly sensitive about what is, after all, a competition. |
"For those new to running — The Boston Marathon is a race." |
