Trump's team recently reviewed private GOP polling that showed support for his immigration policies falling. The results, reflected in public surveys, bolstered internal concern about the administration's confrontational enforcement tactics.

In 2020, Trump tried to overturn the election. In 2024, he built an army of election deniers.
This year, he is raising the stakes. He said he wants to control vote counting. He suggested that he should've seized ballot boxes. Today, he said "We shouldn’t even have an election" at all.

So a new 25% tariff on China and India effective immediately? When do these new tariffs start getting collected? This is on all goods from those countries immediately? What about the limited trade deal we just made with China? That’s over now or is this just more bs?

The Morphos are common here at @casabentbill.bsky.social #CostaRica, as I see them flitting through the garden every day. But they rarely cooperate for photos. So this was a rare treat this morning as this beauty spent a few minutes soaking up the early sun.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.
