Summary

Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Adam Parkhomenko, Democratic strategist, former DNC National Field Director, and advisor to Hillary Clinton. We discuss the new leadership at the DNC under Ken Martin and the urgent need for a stronger Democratic messaging strategy to counter Trump. Adam explains how Democrats can push back against right-wing media dominance, connect with rural voters, and energize young people ahead of the 2026 midterms. We also break down Trump’s escalating mass deportations, extreme government cuts, and the GOP’s ongoing use of fear-based tactics to manipulate voters.
