I haven’t talked much about my work here, but it’s a big part of what I do.

Through my firm, Nexus Public Affairs, I work with campaigns, companies, and mission-driven orgs to help them communicate more clearly, strategically, and effectively.

For a person so committed to stopping “endless wars” and US engagement in foreign conflicts as a candidate he seems to really love endless wars and foreign conflicts as a President!

Another campaign pledge to flush down the newly renovated Lincoln bathroom toilet!!

Thank God we tackled the Lincoln shitter upgrade. Top issue keeping Americans up at night for sure! Now on to more trivial stuff like skyrocketing grocery prices and energy costs…

Dude definitely popped up to deliver some bad news to the world

Amazing to watch a political base that spent the last four decades screaming “don’t trust the big bad government!” turn into a bunch of of lemmings so willing to believe and follow everything the government says and does.

Gotta love politicians. They rage bait everyone into hating each other all week long and will then post a lecturing or love promoting bible scripture on Sunday mornings.

Sociopaths - all of them.

Not gonna lie though, the administration did a fantastic job “flooding the zone” with a bunch of other crazy stories and drama through the summer to distract from the Epstein stuff. They’re really really good at it!

My preferred stance toward Nazis. Maybe I'm just old fashioned...

Rob Shrum @robshrum.bsky.social · 12d

2025 American politics:
Democrat: "I'm sorry I'm a secret Nazi"
Republican: "It's not a big deal, they're just young Nazis"

How far out are we from having PACs named "Your Mom" and/or "Deez Nuts"?

I bet a lot of Trump admin officials are deleting tons of group texts tonight!

Things that will lead to the undoing of the 2nd Trump administration/GOP control in Washington:
- Handing free rein over domestic policy to Stephen Miller.
- Allowing Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnik to run economic and trade policy.
- Using Pam Bondi as a de facto personal attorney.

Who’s gonna tell him… 🙃

Rob Shrum @robshrum.bsky.social · 22d

Why things are about to backfire big time on Republicans heading into 2026: There are more people in MAGA like this than Stephen Miller and other DC MAGA elite by far - and they are feeling shafted

“It shouldn’t be about helping your crypto donors.” Marjorie Taylor Greene completely torches Trump’s economic policy.

Pro tip for this weekend: If you want to quickly identify the weird unstable people in your network, criticize Taylor Swift and/or her new album.

This era of ‘leaders’ is failing America across the board. Every elected official deserves the same F grade, whether they wear a donkey or an elephant badge.

Vote them all out.

Rob Shrum @robshrum.bsky.social · Oct 3

It’s great to see our political discourse on social media isn’t getting dumber and more provocative after a series of horrible events in our country. Oh wait

Rob Shrum @robshrum.bsky.social · Oct 2

America, 2025 🤡🔥💩

Rob Shrum @robshrum.bsky.social · Oct 2

America's leadership across the board is absolutely worthless. Failing the people in almost every way possible. We are being led around by children.

Mark Zuckerberg has a vision for how A.I. could be used in Meta's universe.

But the actor and filmmaker Joseph Gordon-Levitt is here to point out a flaw in the technology: an apparent lack of guardrails around how the company's chatbot interacts with underage users. nyti.ms/3ILwCNo

Good God, what have we done to ourselves America... 🤦

Trump: I am a very aesthetic person. I don't like some of the ships you are doing aesthetically. They say it is stealth. That's not stealth. An ugly ship is not necessary in order to say you are stealth.
