Ran across an idea on Democrats' messaging. Call it the "10 Minute Rule + Vision."

Every single time any of the felon's team has a press conference (DOGE and/or GOP henchmen) on ANY channel, Democrats hold a presser on two or more channels within 10 minutes after,
-- go over everything just said, disprove every statement,
-- demonstrate every single lie all the time.
-- THEN make news with a positive policy and/or action plan for youth (or govt, etc.)

When Democrats don't even wait 'til 'team fascist' comments get into the news cycle, 'team democracy' get into the same corporate headline cycle the felon's team gets. When they go digital, they hit online media at the same time.

Thoughts?

I like that. It's entirely doable when you put it in operational terms. The 1st or 2nd teams call in the press by ancianita Saturday #4
A sense of urgency is required in any action plan. This plan incorporates it nicely. CTyankee Sunday #5

It seems to me that we only need two teams here.

The first, done by the DNC, is a 24-7 fact checking team. They would create the entire script including the lie, truth and what Dems have been doing about it.

The second is a pool of those who will read these scripts. Folks like Hakeem Jefries, Elizabeth Warren, AOC...

Maybe a third group. This one would be the PR folks that the press could call to find out about any rebuttal announcements.

the 4 pm hour daily, and for as long as it takes -- the whole four years if need be.

Because right now we're in the flood the zone time.

It keeps Dems on their toes always. If we can do this, we can win!
