In detention human rights abuses are rampant. People are being tortured & even dying.

I’m single and cook most meals from scratch and grocery prices went up 20 then 40$ for me. Meanwhile community is being replaced with cruelty. His reign can’t be over soon enough.
To sum up Trump's speech it was in essence Trump saying he made America the "hottest country" in the world and we should all be thanking him. Not a single word about people struggling, unemployment rising, costs climbing etc. Instead it was I made America great so thank me!

This bah, humbug speech was not an address by a self-confident man. It smacked of desperation as if he could feel the December windchill of opinion polls – a Reuters/Ipsos poll on Tuesday showed just 33% of US adults approve of how Trump has handled the economy.

Trump’s ‘Bah! Humbug!’ address suggests he is feeling the chill of opinion polls
Primetime speech – delivered with shouty spirit but no cheer – betrayed a figure dogged by a cost of living crisis and the looming release of the Epstein files

I specialize in strategic operations for complex organizations- what the Left needs to do is scale and replicate what @governor.ca.gov has done. He has drawn a blueprint- and quite frankly so has Mamdani- and @aoc.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov with their grassroots rallies- so now follow it!
Newsom has gotten well-deserved credit for skewering Trump on social media and defying his efforts to abscond with California’s national guard. But in fighting fire with fire and preserving Democrats’ hopes for a midterm victory, he showed Democrats around the country how to fight—and win.
Gavin Newsom beat Trump at his own game and changed the 2026 landscape.
Despite skeptics and many Democrats tut-tutting about adhering to norms (even when Republicans have burned the rule book), Newsom was determined to counteract Trump’s Texas gambit.

No, no one should have this much. But history shows us that when inequality gets this extreme, a shift happens- it’s not sustainable. Buckle up buttercup- the stars haven’t looked like this since 1776 and well, we all know how that turned out.🍿🍿🍿✨✨✨
I don't think people realize how much a trillion dollars is.
Let's say you get paid a million dollars per day. That's a lot, right?
If you spend none of it and pay no taxes, you'll have a trillion dollars in approximately two thousand seven hundred (2700) YEARS.

Maybe he thinks Affordability is a proper noun like Asylum 😉
Trump's answer to those worried about higher prices is to STFU. Literally! Trump denies prices are going up, instead declaring: ‘I Don’t Wanna Hear About the Affordability’ www.mediaite.com/media/tv/i-d...

lol Trump literally ran on fixing everything on day one and has spent the last few weeks telling us he ended 8 wars.
Mike Johnson: "If you run as a socialist, you run on a big list false claims. You promise everything to everyone, and you can't deliver, and if you were able to deliver it would be to the great detriment of the people you lured in to vote for you."
