What would the Republicans do I’d they were in control of Congress? Specifically?
So in the past nearly year and seven months of Democrats holding the House and the Senate, we’ve gotten:
- The American Rescue Plan
- The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
- Bipartisan Safer Communities Act of 2022
- The PACT Act
- Chips Bill
- Inflation Reduction Act
What would the Republicans do I’d they were in control of Congress? Specifically?
Ask them. They can’t tell you.
What are their official policies? They don’t have any. They no longer have a party platform.
But they haven’t used it. They have nothing. No ideas. No policies. No plans.
Except …

Note to Trump supporters asking “why do you keep bringing him up?” Easy answer: he won’t shut his lying pie hole.
This is HOW he lost.
Okay, so here is a more complete rundown of how the last three Presidential Elections went down. And some more mythbusting of Trump's lies about the 2020 Election. https://t.co/3M9c79wHop pic.twitter.com/eRNRKQZzzB

And this is HOW he lost.
He lost a lot of the white voters, college educated voters and independents who supported him in 2016.
So here, in charts and tables, are the exit polls for the five states that flipped in the 2020 election.

Arizona - the trend of the state (clearly trending toward the Dems after 2012) and the groups Trump improved/declined with between 2016, when he won and 2020, when he lost. pic.twitter.com/ZxUXyui83R
In 2016, Donald Trump won Independents in every one of the six states that he flipped from blue to red.
In 2020, Donald Trump lost Independents in every one of the five states that Joe Biden flipped from red to blue.
Is it somehow strange that Trump lost the election? No. It would have been much stranger had Trump managed to win the election.
No one as consistently unpopular as him has ever been re-elected. Like ever.

Respect you, Mr. K., but I keep MSNBC at arms length. I was upset when Ms. Ruhle used her huge platform to, in my opinion, attempt to soothe the masses, by calling around to some old Deutsche friends about Jstc. Kennedy's son BEFORE hard investigation had been completed.

@complainster @Eleven_Films @PDXEleven @RepJerryNadler @RepAdamSchiff @MSNBC @maddow ORIGINAL Ruhl video after she "called around" on Son of Kennedy.
I worked on US GAO audit teams for 12 years. This methodology is shady
Especially now that the "informal" calls and commentary by Ruehl ate being USED by The Daily Caller to argue to Trump base that she has "debunked" any claims of link between Deutsche Bank and Justice Kennedy's resignation.

Make a open source lib, make a small side project for yourself, do freelance work, ask friends to work with them, no friends? Find friends on Github, and Twitter.
Bonus points:
- Show you care about the company: I used the company's brand font and gradient for in the resume for my name and "Thank You" note.
- Don't list 15 things and libraries you worked with, pick the most related ones to the role you're applying.
-🙅♂️"copy cover letter"
"I got no firends, no work"
One practical way is to reach out to conferences and offer to make their website for free. But make sure to do it good. You'll get:

There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.
You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.
But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.
And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.
They find their own way.
