When was the last time a president outright tried to buy votes. And this is just the beginning of Trump’s desperate attempt to distract from his failures

We are a month from the election. Fully expect more of this.

The coal industry asked Trump to use rarely used emergency powers to keep polluting coal plants running past their retirement dates. Trump obliged. More evidence of why the US lags in transition to cleaner energy. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/28/c...

A new Trump tactic. Don't like what someone does (or doesn't do) make their cell number public.

11,000 fish dead. Downstream from a Maryland dairy farm. Preliminary cause: overflow at a manure lagoon. The state has sued the farm over repeated discharges of harmful liquids into the water.

Trump personally directed the TV ads praising him to be paid by the taxpayer. There it is. His PAC has millions. But he put the bill to the taxpayer. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/u...

Trump Directed Use of Taxpayer Money for Ads Praising His Presidency (Gift Article)
The government-funded ads show just how much President Trump has been able to use federal money for his own aims.

The US taxpayer is spending a lot of money on the pro-Trump ads that keep popping up on TV. How is this possible that taxpayers pay for this. They're only intended to make Trump look good against his historic low approvals.

Trump is making more than 30 campaign stops in the next few weeks. Spreading this kind of complete misinformation. People know we just had the hottest summer on record. They see the results of climate change fueled extreme weather. Guess his base still believes him.

The 2026 mid terms should be a routine election. Except for all the things Trump is thinking about doing to disrupt it.

Feds want no one to know the people carrying out the mandate to meet deportation quotas. In a brutal fashion in many cases.

What happened in Tennessee with the botched execution of Christa Pike is just one more reason we need to get rid of the death penalty.

Neither will a whole lot of us. Ever understand.

This should be front and 'center' in Congress and the WH. People are sick of false claims about the economy and how well they are supposedly doing. And the ever widening wealth gap.

Jayne Miller @jemillerbalt.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Trump blames bad pr for the perception of the economy. He needs to go to the grocery store. Full up the tank on the way. Pay an electric bill. It's way more than bad public relations.

How do you knock down barriers to affordable housing. Zoning. Stigma. Layers of regulation. My latest podcast from Maryland Capital - the affordability campaign underway in affluent Howard County MD. Where most teachers can't afford to live where they work. open.spotify.com/episode/0DT2...

Just saw one of those pro-Trump ads during the Today Show on NBC. This is a guy who is ripping up forests and protected land. Slaughtering wild horses. Lifting protections of wildlife. So the ad rings hollow. But... "Paid for by the U.S. Government" He needs to use his own money to fool people

Pays to do your homework in the US Senate. Sen Eric Schmidt's failed attempt to embarrass Jack Smith backfired.

Agree. On all counts.

This is a real life ad.

A mistake. People can't afford health care coverage. Focus on that. Not taking it away from them.

20 months of the steady erosion of the rule of law.

There is no good reason anywhere to declare martial law for the elections. This is another desperate scare tactic to suppress voting

The reflecting pool isn't reflecting. The Kennedy Center is boarded up. The WH grounds include a demolition site. Not even 2 years in office.

Canada is a neighbor and an ally. Will never understand Trump's effort to weaken the relationship

Another Trump policy to harm the environment. Auto manufacturers should tell him no thanks. People want fuel efficient vehicles. This is just another way to benefit fossil fuel companies

It's so disheartening to hear Trump and his regime claim a great economy with little recognition of real life. Including the demand for food. Kids going a day without a meal. Trump's policies have so driven up cost.

The GOP leadership and Trump do things that are in complete reverse of what the American public supports. Both D's and R's

Trump seems to have no interest in ending the war. Only in bombing campaigns After the election

And SCOTUS cleared the way for Trump and DHS to use a national database to look for non citizens. This is going to be a big problem in the midterm elections as legitimate voters get thrown off the rolls.

Goldman Sachs warned big tech companies like Meta have to generate $300 bil per year in AI services to break even on their capital spending... And $1 trillion to make meaningful profits. Unnerving investors.

Illustrations usually get right to the point.

States have authority over voter registration and elections. But who knows what Trump is going to do with this database. Vote early!

The US taxpayer should not be expected to pay for a pro Trump ad. He has all kinds of money. Pay for it himself.

Sure hope this isn't a game plan for the November elections.. Law enforcement seizing ballots. CA Supreme Court justice: "..a substantial risk to election integrity"

All the preaching about waste, fraud and abuse. And Trump’s own cabinet member diverts money from health care for low income people to pay for his personal security

Stephen Miller is essentially admitting the SAVE act is intended and designed to suppress D votes and get R's elected

Trump mocking Pres Biden. In the White House where he's replaced his portrait. With the president of China. Unprecedented. Embarrassing. Shameful.

Whatever happens with Harborplace in Baltimore a top priority is rising sea level. Which requires rebuilding the infrastructure. This is near low tide this morning. And before the expected effects of the NE storm taking shape.

A federal judge (a Trump appointee) blocks Trump's ban on several media outlets and orders access restored. Finds the decision likely unconstitutional. Which is often the pattern of Trump's decisions.
