The truth is that 66% of Americans disapprove of DJT. Only his diehard 30% of supporters still approve of him.
Trump e Un Coglione translates as Trump is an idiot. His AI fabrication that made it appear Italian Prime Minister Meloni was staring at him adoringly bombed. In the cartoon, she appears to be pouring the contents of the chamber pot onto him. What a PR disaster!
That is absolutely not true! AIPAC Tracker does not show that Talarico accepted $15m from AIPAC-related entities. Talarico just merited a warning, as he: • Does not recognize genocide • Opposes an arms embargo • Supports censorship
I just donated $15 to People’s Unity Project. It’s trying to raise $7,500 to fund a billboard in TX. It looks similar to this photo. I believe it’s very clever.
Congressional Democrats currently hold a net favorability rating of roughly -21 to -33 among all U.S. adults, with our polling generally hovering in the mid-30s. General polling from Gallup News reflects an approval of 10% for Congress as a whole, with disapproval tying the record high at 86%.
I read the sequel to We Know Who Killed JFK, JFK: Too Big to Fail, Part 1. “What the documents prove is not that a shadowy cabal killed JFK. What they prove is that when a government program operates with unlimited money, no legal accountability, criminal partnerships, and a built-in…” P 1/2
It’s Caturday! This is my Bella, ensconced in the small compartment of the tall cat tree, and sitting on an upper perch of said cat tree.
The FCC is trying to dictate which guests can appear on The View. ABC is fighting back and is asking viewers to submit comments to the FCC. I just submitted my comment.
Democrats are fired up and are swamping the polls! Per The Washington Post: More voters are casting ballots for Democrats compared with the numbers in previous midterms, fueling the party’s hope for big wins in November.
Perhaps, but Abbott and the entire GOP are facing a voter revolt of epic proportions this November. Nearly every competitive congressional district is dealing with the data center problem. TX has 500, and 150 more are in planning or development. Voters don’t want them in their communities!
The cost of the Iran War in blood and treasure is as follows: • Americans, Israelis, Iranians, and Lebanese dead • US military cost • Additional US Military budget ask • Iranian assets unfrozen • Iran reconstruction costs • US extra gas/diesel cost Total estimated U.S. economic cost is $132b.
Here I am wearing my taupe suit! Taupe is a color appropriate for a Winter. Barack and I are Winters!
Democrats met last week to discuss how they can push back against potential election interference by the DJT regime. Marc Elias recommended: 1. Prepare to vote and make a plan to vote. 2. Be educated about the threats and share info with others. 3. Prepare to mobilize and peacefully protest.
President Obama demonstrates his surfing skill in Maui, Hawaii.
On Saturday night, DJT posted six images of himself. What is wrong with him? His behavior isn’t normal! Perhaps he learned of our plan to post photos of former President Obama today—on his 80th birthday. Here’s a photo of President Obama kitesurfing while flashing his incandescent smile!
This is my youngest. Her name is Bella, and she turned four in February. I’ll have to rehire my kitty sitter, as I’ll be in a cast following my second ankle surgery and non-weight bearing for two months after the cast is removed.
Nice. I posted a small upside down US flag, a sign of distress, on my new privacy fence 18 months ago, and some assh*le scrawled Trump three times across the pickets. My small flag disappeared shortly afterward.
DJT lied on Meet the Press that the CA election is rigged. It’s a big state, and many people vote by mail. As long as mail ballots are postmarked by Election Day, there’s a 7-day window for them to arrive and be counted. Count every ballot—regardless of how long it takes. Carry on, California!
At least 97 of the pardoned insurrectionists have been arrested, charged with, or convicted of other crimes. None of the 1,500 deserve a payout from the “paused” $1.776b Anti-Weaponization slush fund. If it were up to DJT, the fund would get approved. He still believes it’s a good idea!
Per the NYT, the DJT regime has seen an exodus of federal lawyers between December 2024 and March 2026. Ten thousand attorneys have left federal agencies. Many are going to offices of Democratic states’ Attorneys General and nonprofits that are challenging DJT’s policies in the courts.

I had the pleasure of meeting Randy Villegas who’s running for the U.S. House in CD-22. He was traveling through Houston this evening. He’s a very impressive candidate with impeccable credentials. I also donated an additional $20 to his campaign. Go, Randy!
Jim Crow 2.0 is afoot. After SCOTUS gutted Section 2 of the VRA on 4/29, red states are rushing to redraw their lines to eliminate black opportunity districts. Below is a graphic showing the current congressional districts in the South and the likely districts after redistricting is completed.
DJT’s administration has been systematically removing high level black officials from federal jobs over the past 16 months.
Excellent! Just FYI, the median age of Democratic Senate candidates has dropped from 63 in 2018 to 45.5 in 2026. We must make way for a new generation of candidates that are closer in average age to their constituents.
DJT’s job approval poll numbers on his handling of the cost of living are “crashing and burning” per an Ipsos/Reuters poll taken April 24-27 MOE +/- 3% points: 69% disapprove 22% approve
Hegseth has repeatedly lied during congressional hearings. He asserts that the American people support the Iran War when 61% of people polled by Gallup/IPSOS do not support this war.
This is an excerpt from Environmental Defense Fund’s Spring newsletter. It’s titled EDF to Trump EPA: See you in court. The administration overturned the 2009 Endangerment Finding, which was the EPA’s landmark legal and scientific determination that climate pollution hurts people and that
Per The Atlantic, the Pentagon may not be telling DJT the full picture about the war. VP Vance is not certain that the president is receiving the full status of the war.
