Donald Trump's approval on immigration has collapsed 17 points since taking office, and support for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement has swung 50 points since Sept. 2024.

FUN FACT:
My favorite part of tonight's election results is that all three of the major trump endorsements (Ciattarelli, Miyares, and Cuomo) LOST bigly.
And trump handed out 53 down-ballot endorsements in New Jersey and Virginia. THEY ALL LOST.

The Supreme Court has no pending emergency appeals from the Trump administration for the first time since March 25.
With today’s ruling permitting Trump’s firing of CPSC members, all *20* of the admin’s emergency applications have been disposed of one way or another.
