Overall, I found this Focus Group to be very depressing. Most voters were unhappy with aspects of Trump’s policies but still found ways to compliment his Administration. And God forbid they admit that their vote was a mistake.

An Immense Solar Project Just Got Canceled Under Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/c... Even though the company contributed a large sum to the construction of Trump’s ballroom. Loyalty only flows one way in this Administration.

Then the Senator should tell the President that she will not vote for the budget bill until this is reversed. But that would require some courage.

“Never before have we issued a joint public warning like this. But the profound, immediate and unprecedented threat that Kennedy’s policies and positions pose to the nation’s health cannot be ignored.”

Opinion | Six surgeons general: It’s our duty to warn the nation about RFK Jr.

We took an oath to declare dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today.

And the rest of us, whether we’re elected officials or ordinary citizens, should do everything we can to let our fellow Americans in uniform know that if they risk their careers and even their freedom to protect the Constitution, we will stand with them.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social It’s our duty too.

We elected the most soulless, self-absorbed empty suit we could possibly scrape from the gutters of late-stage capitalist grift. Twice.

This is on us as much as on him. As a country, we showed ourselves as infantile rubes and slack-jawed marks. As a people, we asked for this. Twice.
