In this episode of Branding Democrats, we welcome back Stacy Hughes, known as @Belle Valise on TikTok. Stacy shares her inspiring personal journey from progressive advocate and social media influencer to first-time candidate, running for city council in South Jordan, Utah.

Together, we tackle the week’s pressing topics: Trump’s chaotic ICE raids and sudden immigration backtrack; escalating tensions with Iran after Ted Cruz’s troubling admissions to Tucker Carlson; and the GOP’s dangerous approach to foreign policy.

Stacy emphasizes the Democrats' urgent need for clear, emotional, and concise messaging. We discuss how Trump's destructive presidency continues to damage America’s global reputation, economic stability, and democratic institutions. And then we brainstorm actionable ways Democrats can highlight Trump’s endless failures and dangerous incompetence in relatable, unforgettable terms.
