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.

Judging by their ineffectiveness and acquiescence to the Trump Administration, even when they’re in the Capitol they’re on vacation.

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.

Leavitt "conceded the rationale for EMTALA and Emergency Medicaid—and acknowledged that the Trump administration actually supports taxpayer-funded health care for illegal immigrants. Maybe someone should tell JD Vance." www.thebulwark.com/p/government...

Illegal Immigrants Are Already Getting Health Care Under Donald Trump

The program financing ER care for illegal immigrants has been around for four decades, and not even Trump wants to take it away.

And we’re the beneficiaries of the change in your work life. As my sportsball team tanked today, I took the opportunity to revisit the Second Edition of The Death of Expertise. Once again, I’m not only impressed with your scholarship and insights, but your writing continues to impress me. Kudos!
