As one of the candidates featured in these polls - the infamous one in late June that showed me plummeting into single digits (which was at odds with our internals) - here's the impact of this "experiment"

To anyone who might have direct contact with executives who hire the people now in danger of deportation—remind them to call back any favors from donations to POTUS or his family. Their businesses could collapse for lack of staff. I’m thinking about nursing home owners, who own/manage large chains.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

For *all* people to react! AACN Alarmed Over Department of Education’s Proposed Limitation of Student Loan Access for Nursing url:https://www.aacnnursing.org/news-data/all-news/article/aacn-alarmed-over-department-of-educations-proposed-limitation-of-student-loan-access-for-nursing

So here’s a question for anyone who is a member of the WH press corps to pose at the next briefing. “How do you feel about being exposed to asbestos and lead on a daily basis after demolition of the East Wing that had no preventative measures taken to contain their release into your workplace?”

Just heard commentary on MSNBC about RFKjr hearing. Former member of FDA panel talked about RFK’s belief vaccines cause chronic diseases. Well—the diseases vaccines address cause chronic disease. I’m an old enough nurse to have cared for babies w/cong rubella. ❤️ problems. That’s a chronic disease!

This man is one of the most dangerous in this administration. He has no shame or conscience.

This disaster is 💯% on Trump, Musk & sycophant Greg Abbott. Those of us in central Texas and the Hill Country are exhausted, frustrated & ANGRY. We haven’t even begun to process the devastation to life and property. But we will. Vote out the fucking TXGOP. www.texasobserver.org/trump-texas-...

Re: Tillis resigning—when the $ that should have gone to his state for hurricane recovery went to ICE & Noem’s projects, and the admin is gutting research & attacking universities, and his state has/had a renowned university research triangle, why would he back the administration’s bill?

It’s hard to do much for anyone else’s benefit and the common welfare when you’re mostly looking out for your own.

My state has had a legislative GOP supermajority for 22 years. Missouri is ranked: 50th in classroom funding 49th in starting teacher pay 7th highest in gun deaths 6th highest in maternal mortality Republicans can’t govern and you can look at every red state to come to that conclusion.
