In a moment that calls for courage, we get this:
Gallup announces, after 88 years, it will no longer track public approval of presidents. Trump's second-term approval rating fell to 36% in December, among the lowest ever recorded by the company. The president repeatedly has threatened to sue media and polling firms that portray him negatively.

Let’s see if any Republicans other than Massie criticize Bondi’s insanity. But in truth, she had an audience of one. I’m sure Trump was watching and cheering.
Massie: "She didn't answer anything. She came here ready to talk about the Dow Jones and the Nasdaq, which seems kind of crazy to me."

Burgum: "CO2 was never a pollutant. When we breathe, we emit CO2. Plants need CO2 to survive and grow. They thrive with more CO2. So the whole endangerment thing opens up an opportunity for the revival of clean, beautiful, American coal."

The Post reporters were laid off and the desks were shut down instead.

Turns out one of the benefits of mass deportation is low growth and anemic job creation.
Peter Navarro: "The jobs report comes out tomorrow. We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like ... Wall Street has to adjust for the fact that we're deporting millions of illegals out of the job market."

The racism keeps them in the tent.
Most White evangelicals (69%) approve of the way Trump is handling his job as president. However, their views of Trump are less positive than in the early days of his second term.
