Trump just hit 39.9% approval in the G. Elliot Morris poll aggregator. First time under 40% in his second term.

Trump’s idea to kill the filibuster to reopen the government and gut the ACA seems like strategic insanity. Yes, the GOP would get the marginal benefit of ending the shutdown but then they own the bigger political problem of health care premium spikes heading into midterms.

Some comments here..”Ooo, look at the strength of Platner!”. And some responses, “Yeah, but Mills had just announced, it’s pre-tattoo, etc”
Folks, the important thing here is beating Collins. This poll was conducted a couple weeks ago. What do you suppose it would look like today?

In 1500, the “white population” (Europe) was about 12% of the global population.
That share rose with European settlement of the Western Hemisphere and technological advances over the next few centuries.
As advances spread globally in the last century, the original pop. share was re-established.

How is that possible? I was told by the NYT just three days ago that he was “winning”

The huge downward revisions (-258,000 jobs) are the big surprise. Trump’s tariff insanity is discouraging hiring. And yet, just three days ago our nation’s newspaper of record said that Trump was “winning” his trade war. Is this what “winning” look like to the Times?

The bizarre thing here is that the site for the proposed 4 story school is surrounded by 12-15 story buildings. So it’s not exactly dominating adjacent uses.

So, to sum up…
We had a deal with Iran. We wouldn’t sanction if Iran halted its nuclear program. Trump tore that up. So Iran began to enrich again. A worried Israel attacked Iran. Trump joined. But, the nuclear program has only been delayed by a few months. Now Trump says a deal doesn’t matter. wtf

emptywheel is one of many analysts who put the blame most squarely on the SCOTUS. Here’s another from David Lurie today.
I won’t die on the hill of “DOJ was as fast as possible”. But there’s no reason to think that the SCOTUS ruling would have been different if indictments had come sooner.

About 500 (?} people showed up to the Tesla Takedown in Berkeley. It’s nice to see that protest is alive but this movement needs more people and a lower median age. #TeslaTakedown

The vision is an alliance of authoritarians who “rule with a iron fist” and carve up the world.

Unfortunately, I think it’s more sinister than that. The vision is an authoritarian alliance that divides the world into spheres👇

Young and old voted in similar ways from 1976 to 1992. It was Bill Clinton who started the trend of attracting young people to the Democratic Party, which continued with Obama, Hillary, and Biden. Unfortunately, in 2024, there was serious movement back toward Trump by young men in particular.

There it is. Trump is now officially underwater in his approval rating, per Nate Silver’s Bulletin. He went under on 538 a few days ago right before ABC/Disney pulled the plug on the enterprise.

Long Beach City College (LBCC) is having a Board of Trustees meeting this Wednesday, the 22nd. There’s always a public comment period at the beginning. You can Zoom in and make your feelings about the coach known. Why should a publicly-funded college employ someone who threatens journalists?
