From @gelliottmorris.com Strength in Numbers - "A broad majority of 65% of voters said they do not think Trump has kept his promises on the economy, while 24% say he has." How can even 1% believe he has kept his promises to lower prices?

DHS is rushing new hires to their academy without background checks What could go wrong? “ICE officials...discovered some of the recruits failed drug testing, have disqualifying criminal backgrounds or don’t meet the physical or academic requirements to serve,” 200 recruits have been dismissed

ICE has $75B dollars to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 new deportation officers It turns out, if you’re hiring for a pariah agency using fascist and racist messaging, recruiting for a job where you are so hated that you refuse to show your face, America’s best, brightest, and most fit don’t apply

What a disgusting human being.

Sure, Nick. No one is buying what you're selling. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

ICE has cut its training program from 5 months to 47 days and is no longer interviewing candidates before hiring them Why 47? Because Trump is the 47th president, of course. Not even kidding.

I am not happy that 8 Senate Democrats caved and backed the funding bill, BUT Democrats did save SNAP benefits, air traffic controllers, and the jobs of federal workers (many of whom were under threat of being permanently fired). Not all bad news

If Trump thinks he will get people to "rally round the flag" by invading Venezuela, he should think again The killings of Venezuelan citizens is deeply unpopular and certainly illegal, not to mention immoral

Trump's long-awaited plan for Americans' healthcare is to replace the ACA with... nothing. That's right - you're on your own. Trump does not understand healthcare, insurance, or risk pools(nor does he want to)

There is no denying it - prices were trending down until Trump assumed office, then they began increasing Tariffs are making most goods more expensive for Americans

Jon Voight, who was appointed the made-up title of special ambassador to Hollywood earlier this year, made a plea to Trump: void the election of Mamdani as NYC mayor Never mind that Voight doesn't live in NYC or that such an action would be patently illegal The entitlement is astounding

Trump says that polls showing Americans are unhappy about the price of goods are "fake", but we know that gas is not $2/gallon and the price of groceries is high He may have told one lie too many

Trump's approval is underwater in all but 10 states Even GOP strongholds like TX, FL, and SC disapprove Who knew that ordering a secret police force to kidnap people, withholding food from children, spiking inflation with tariffs, and causing insurance premiums to skyrocket would be so unpopular?

Remember the dramatic raid on the Chicago apartment building, where ICE used helicopters, flash-bangs, brandishing automatic weapons? They dragged residents outside in the middle of the night and zip tied kids? "Federal prosecutors have not filed criminal charges against ANYONE who was arrested."

Uhhh...didn't virtually all reputable economists tell him not to put tariffs on these food items in April? He's desperate.

Here is the thing: He CAN'T ignore Epstein. He was obviously heavily involved with the most notorious pedophile of this century. It's a lose/lose situation for Trump and therefore the GOP. Delicious!

Trump's approval has declined 24% since January with voters whose primary concern is the economy For all other voters, his approval has held steady Democratic leaders, please take note: It's STILL the economy, stupid

Isn't it weird how, all of a sudden, so many Democrats are involved in mortgage fraud?

Here is my definition of fascist for you:

From @propublica.org Hint: if you're not following them, you should And Kristi Noem is a grifter, just like the rest of the administration. Surprise!

He said it out loud - he doesn't care if they are arresting criminals or not. Just "people". Not "the worst of the worst"

We have a housing crisis in the US In 1985, the median income was $23,620, and the median price of a home was $84,300 - 3.6 times the typical income In 2023, the median price of a home was $428,600 - 5.3 times the median income of $80,061 50-year mortgages are NOT the answer; we need more houses

So, Elon Musk just got a compensation package of $1 Trillion His companies have received over $13 Billion in federal benefits He laid off over 14,000 people within the last year And the GOP is big mad about feeding poor kids Sure...those freeloading kids are the problem

ICE agents pepper sprayed a 1-year-old baby, then lied about it That's where we are now A BABY!!!

You have hit the nail on the head AGAIN, Governor. Paying more and getting less is NOT what Americans want.

The budget bill passed by the GOP did not extend the tax credits for ACA subsidies. This means the subsidies disappear at the end of this year, raising the cost of insurance by over 100% No money, they said They DID, however extend tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations Priorities

You gotta love Pete. He doesn't mince words.

Trump's will is not inevitable The majority of lawsuits filed against his administration have successfully blocked his policies He is weak, not strong

I love this idea. But it will never happen with the GOP in charge.

What is $1 trillion or 2 among friends?

Trump's proposed 50-year mortgages are a scam that benefits only lenders With a 50-year mortgage, the buyer of a $400K home will have paid over $1 million in interest, compared to $493K for a 30-year mortgage The monthly payments are not that much cheaper - $2481 vs. $2346 for a 50-year loan

THIS is why all the tech oligarchs gathered at the Trump inauguration THIS is why they are willing to overlook fascism and cruelty THIS is why they donate to the GOP It's all about the money

Let’s get to work to make sure the criminals don’t win office again: Graham primary: 6/9/26 Hagerty primary: 8/6/26 Hawley: yr 2030 🏃‍♂️ Sullivan: Primary 8/18/26 Tuberville: Governor Primary 5/19/26 Johnson: 2028 Lummis: Primary 8/18/26 Blackburn: Governor primary 8/6/26

Trump does not care about the suffering he causes Americans During the shutdown he: *Bulldozed the East Wing *Cut SNAP benefits *Admitted importers pass on the cost of tariffs to consumers *Announced curbs on air travel *Participated in a Great Gatsby–style party at Mar-a-Lago.”

Hidden in the appropriations bill recently advanced after Senate Dems caved and ended the shutdown: The 8 GOP senators whose phone records were seized by the FBI for Jack Smith's Jan. 6 investigation may sue the government for $500,000 Apiece.

Trump keeps insisting, falsely of course, that "groceries are way down" Even MAGA isn't buying his lie

Newsom's Press Office is on fire! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

To celebrate my first anniversary on Bluesky, I did something new - I made a starter pack. I follow everyone on the list. If I missed you, let me know. I will do this again. go.bsky.app/JA3ugEg

One thing I could not understand is how returns on stocks could be so good under Trump when the rest of the economy seems to be deteriorating. Then I saw this graph. America (almost) last!

I don't care as much about individual Dems as I do about the Democratic agenda If some "squishy" Dems are not prepared to fight, let's primary them (looking at you, Schumer, Fetterman) We need Dems who are not afraid of power and are willing to use it @rokhanna.bsky.social is one of them

Trump pardoned Rudy Guiliani and others involved in trying to overturn the 2020 election Because, of course he did. The most corrupt president in history, hands down.

Assume all the yes and no votes from Dem senators are strategic and not sincere votes. The party caucus made a decision. No way to know how many were in favor. Then the caucus decided who would vote yes and no based on what would protect each of them politically the most. That’s how this works.

This is the message of a failed, feckless, and leaderless party. We need a party with backbone, and the only path to it is through a cleansing primary season. If your Dem is up for reelection, and you aren't damn sure they're fighting the fascists with everything they've got, primary the bastard.

None of the senators who voted to cave are up for election next year If you think this was not Schumer-engineered, you are not paying attention Dems needed a fired-up base for a face-saving win in an off-year election They got what they wanted from the shut down

Thank you, Indivisible. I hope YOU stick to your promise.

China has a solar energy farm the size of Chicago and has taken the lead on renewable energy Meanwhile, Trump's regressive regime just withheld approval for Esmeralda 7 project, “We will not approve wind or farmer destroying [sic] Solar,” he posted on Truth Social America Last

Wasn't "Sleepy Joe Biden" one of his childish taunts at one time? Karma...

More Americans believe the government is doing a poor job on the economy NOW than during recessions, stagflation, and a pandemic We know the deck is stacked against average Americans

Voters know that Trump’s promise to lower prices was just another scam His tariffs and deportations have driven prices higher The continued insistence by Trump and his minions that the economy is great and that prices are down adds insult to injury People believe their own eyes

Democrats offered a reasonable and popular (75% including GOP voters approve of extending ACA subsidies) deal Republicans refused because Trump insisted they must not negotiate. Republicans own the shutdown www.cnbc.com/2025/11/07/g...
