Mike Short @nyshort54.bsky.social · 29/05/2026We should allow Trump to put his face on the $250 bill, as long as he follows the current law: that only dead people can appear on US currency. 000

Mike Short @nyshort54.bsky.social · 22/09/2025The Trump Administration’s decision to cancel the Food Security Survey is like closing your eyes in the cage so the tiger will go away. Same with delaying the invasion inflation report. Memories of “we do too much Covid testing“. 220

Mike Short @nyshort54.bsky.social · 27/03/2025The GOP has discovered that ordinary people hate what they’re doing and will do whatever they can to stop them. And they are too cowardly to face ordinary Americans in red districts, because they know they will lose. 010
Mike Short @nyshort54.bsky.social · 18/03/2025Mark Twain had something to say about this. He asked, “If you call a tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have?” He provided the answer: “Four. Calling it a leg doesn’t make it a leg.” Guess that applies to Gulf of America, too. 000
