Assume polling is going to be bouncy these next few weeks but in the Economist/YouGov weekly track Trump's job approval with adults went from -13 (41-54) last week to -18 this week (39-57). He's -50 with independents, 19-69.

CALL NOW: Tell your Republican Member of Congress to sign the #Epstein discharge petition. I called #RepMikeCollins. Just two more Republicans need to sign on to the #Massie/Khanna legislation to force a floor vote demanding a full release of the Epstein files.

Wow - I knew cutting Medicaid is unpopular. I didn't know it is *this* unpopular.
There is not a single congressional district in the U.S. where more than 15% of voters support cuts to Medicaid.
