This isn’t confidence. It’s insecurity. It’s the emperor with no clothes demanding applause. The frantic attacks on the press and claims of “perfect” everything are exactly how authoritarian leaders behave when they feel control and support slipping away.

According to the White House physician from 2000-2013 "“They show him as effective,” Dr. Kuhlman said of Mr. Trump’s aides, “but every time he’s in the Oval Office, he’s sedentary.”"

In contrast, George W Bush and Obama exercised every day. Obama worked 10-7, W showed at 6:45 am. Trump at noon.
My theory is that Trump has always used stimulants and they no longer work well enough to mask his cognitive decline and age related problems which were always there www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

According to a new Economist/YouGov poll, Trump's approval rating is underwater in the majority of states — including 20 states he won last year.

He's flailing on the economy and his party's odds for 2026 are crumbling.

Do not let him convince you he is all powerful.

I've led negotiations with Russia, and nothing I'm hearing shows the Russians are serious about ending the war.

But the U.S. side must articulate our positions and advance our interests - and that's not happening.

Peace at any price isn't peace. It's appeasement.

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?
The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.

But I won't back down — and neither should you.

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.

I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail
