1) The midterms come first.

2) what’s needed for the Democrats and for the Forward pac, is a vision. Identity politics was never a good path forward and selling it as a vision has back-fired. It doesn’t unite people and the messaging makes it sound like special treatment projects.

3) democrats didn’t lose because of the economy. They lost because they will sacrifice reason and common sense before they criticize their own.

4) voters have been voting for change since 2008. None of what they have gotten is what they wanted. So, dismantling the government doesn’t seem so bad to them — yet.

So what’s the vision? What’s the plan? That’s all anyone wants to hear.

Fuck off Andrew! Stay in your lane. Clearly, billionaires and republicans are bad at governing! This last 100days proves the rule: business intelligence does not equal governing intelligence!

Not for Everyone. But maybe for you and your patrons? 

Dear Andrew,

I hope this finds you in a rare pocket of stillness.

We hold deep respect for what you've built here—and for how.

We’ve just opened the door to something we’ve been quietly handcrafting for years.

Not for mass markets. Not for scale. But for memory and reflection.

Not designed to perform. Designed to endure.

It’s called The Silent Treasury.

A sanctuary where truth, judgment, and consciousness are kept like firewood—dry, sacred, and meant for long winters.

Where trust, vision, patience, and stewardship are treated as capital—more rare, perhaps, than liquidity itself.

The two inaugural pieces speak to a quiet truth we've long engaged with:

1. Why we quietly crave for 'signal' from rare, niche sanctuaries—especially when judgment must be clear.

2. Why many modern investment ecosystems (PE, VC, Hedge, ALT, SPAC, rollups) fracture before they root.

These are not short, nor designed for virality.

They are multi-sensory, slow experiences—built to last.

If this speaks to something you've always felt but rarely seen expressed,

perhaps these works belong in your world.

Both publication links are enclosed, should you choose to enter.

Warmly,

The Silent Treasury

Sanctuary for strategy, judgment, and elevated consciousness.

What about the case that the 2026 midterms give Americans their best option?

Everyone...the midterms are a long way away. 2027 is further and 2028 is a lifetime from now. We have to reverse the perception and the reality that the Democrats have become the party of metro elites and that we don't like the middle and working classes. And stop pushing stupid and divisive gender and ethnicity politics.

Bet next month's pay that the party doubles down on stupid.
