Police have set up a checkpoint and appear to be stopping every single car on 14th st NW, between W+V, here in northwest DC. Some cars are being pulled over after being stopped.

Some police are wearing “HSI police” vests (Homeland Security Investigations)

Never once heard a FG participant say they wish we'd spend less time remembering kids killed by gun violence.

From @theatlantic.com @elainegodfrey.bsky.social. In early April NYT fg, no Trump vtr would change their vote. In our late April fgs & survey, more (not all!) shared regret. Trump voters shifting? Or diff btwn “regret” & “would change vote”? We’ll keep exploring. Majority of Trump vtrs still w/him.

How many Trump voters regret their choice? I would have guessed less than 11%, but it's consistent with what we're hearing in focus groups. From the latest @navigatorsurvey.bsky.social release:

Trump is preparing to make JD Vance the “tariff czar” to deal with the rising prices and other problems that are about to arise because of their tariffs on China.

From our latest @nytopinion.nytimes.com focus group, this time with Trump voters. They give him mostly Bs & Cs, and are at times both worried and optimistic about tariffs, hoping to pay no more than 3-5% more in prices. No one would go back & change their vote.
