Trump cult supports his bad ideas on military action

I don’t think Trump will let Democrats win the House in 2026

He is rightly worried that they would have non-stop hearings on his illegal and corrupt actions.

Trump won’t let the Democrats win the House in November. Options:could he use martial law to prevent elections – emergency? If elections are held, he could challenge results of enough Democratic wins to prevent them from taking over the House on time.To him the end justifies any means.

He wasn’t joking:

Negative double digits across the board.Add in Epstein Files, and he's -30 on that.Trump is weak, MAGA's policies are unpopular, and he has NEVER HAD SUPPORT OF 50% of the country.This should shame every institution that has bent the knee and continues the bend the knee to this fascist regime.

With CBS/YouGov approval coming in unchanged 41/59 looking more and more like there's either no rally effect or at best a very small one. It's worth making noise over this because there's a ton of "wag the dog" nonsense out there assuming that military action makes presidents popular.

This dip comes as concerns over the economy, health care, foreign policy and the Epstein Files have increased dissatisfaction.

Trump said on "Truth Social" the other day that his "real" approval rating is 64%. He is a liar. It is 40% (56% disapprove).It is important to call out authoritarians when they try to manufacture consent for their unpopular agendas. Remind people how unpopular he is.substack.com/@gelliottmor…

Polls show people don’t like what ICE is doing

This shift in public opinion comes amid heightened scrutiny of ICE after the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good.

Newsweek (@newsweek.com) 2026-01-18T19:02:26.715Z

New CNN polling: Most Americans see an immigration officer’s fatal shooting of Renee Good as an inappropriate use of force. Roughly half view it as a sign of broader issues with the way ICE is operating, w/under 1/3 saying that ICE operations have made cities safer. http://www.cnn.com/2026/01/14/p…

Enten: "Americans at this point do not like ICE. And that's very different from what we saw during Trump's first term. We're talking about -17 approval rating. That's a 17 point drop from where we were during Trump's first term. Among independents, the number is even lower."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-01-15T02:47:08.680Z

Change is coming whether party moderates want it or not."Among the 18-to-34 set, 70 percent disapprove of ICE enforcement, 65 percent say the shooting was unjustified, and 83 percent have seen video of the killing."

New YouGov poll finds a majority of Americans believe ICE agent Jonathan Ross should be charged for killing Renee Good. Despite repeated lies from the Trump administration, Americans watched the videos and are demanding accountability.

"After an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis one week ago, reactions on social media and among politicians and political influencers rapidly polarized," writes Aaron Blake. "But how do the rest of Americans – i.e. those who didn’t so quickly weigh in – feel?" | Analysis

Window shutter in a tree

Here’s a window shutter stuck in a tree on Poppleton St, in southwest Baltimore. I walk by it most days and it has been there for about 10 days. We had a really windy day and I assume that’s when it took off. How long will it be there? You would need a ladder to take it down.

Polls on ICE

Trump has gone way too far.

lots of political space to convert those “not sures” into somewhat supports and those “somewhat supports” into strongly supports on eliminating ICE. also, with a funding battle coming up, plenty of political space to say “no government funding unless we claw back last year’s new ICE funding”
