I know Mike Bloomberg is doing a ton of good work on the virus front

But are he and his #TeamBloomberg ad geniuses doing anything on the #DumpTrump front?

The last email I received from his campaign asked everyone to sign a digital pledge that we would be in this to the end, support Biden and never give up. The last paragraph of his email said to paraphrase, "I'll be in this fight standing right there with you."

I was so excited that he was going to take a role in this because, as I've argued for months, he's in a particularly special position to humiliate and disgrace Trump. He has so much power to help topple Trump, I'm impatient to see him use it. Is he waiting for September/October? Does he want to stay out of it and let Biden hold center stage? What is his calculus? He's probably giving a lot of money to our Dem candidates. But I want him to use his psychological advantages...

Does anybody know if he's running ads, doing anything to pile on this despicable, horrible, homicidal president?

Anything he puts out now will likely be long forgotten by November. He'll have A LOT more ammo to unload in September and October, when it will have a much greater impact.

But damn, this president is so out of control. It seems like a good time to strike.

Towards opposing Trump. The last reports totaling his campaign costs added up to just over a billion dollars. Funny how that happened.

I will honestly be surprised if he spends more than a token amount further.
