The Onion wants to make us submissive slaves to the New world order.

Correct.

Interesting perspective from a former SPLC staffer who’s been a vocal critic.

it kind of depends on which polls. generic ballot is not great for Ds, but individual polling in, say, MS Senate and AK Senate...

generic ballot just won't budget though; still D +5.

The poll was conducted April 16-20, during which time the Strait of Hormuz was reopened by Iran, then closed again, an example of the whiplash that has characterized the conflict.

Every poll conducted in this era needs one (1) paragraph to explain the million things that happened just before, during, or immediately after fielding

?? no, chart says 23-76 on cost of living? happens to be the same number for independent support...

probably generational Ds who are functionally republicans but still tell pollsters they're Ds because grandpa was.

and probably a fetterman or two in there I guess.

Trump is within sight of an under 30% overall approval rating.

One of the most important causes right now is to establish a media narrative and popular support behind severe punishments and consequences to our present criminals running things.

this was yesterday; he's had worse polls since.

this is I think the worst polling day for trump in his second term. lots of polls, and they're uniformly brutal for him.

Speaker Johnson's beginning of the end Trump's elfish toady is quickly losing control of the House.

"Up to now, moderates have seemed more scared of primaries and the wrath of Trump than of their own Trump-skeptical voters. But as midterms loom, and Trump's approval stagnates at historic lows, the calculus appears to be changing. That bodes ill for Johnson — and for his party’s 2026 prospects."

Trump Net-Approval On:

Cost of Living: -53%

Iran: -35%
Immigration: -19%

that arc-norc poll I think pushed trump to 22 underwater in fiftyplusone aggregator for first time. fiftyplusone.news/polls/approv...

not entirely clear about that; desantis seems to be wavering too.

23 percent approval from Independents—and only 68% from Republicans. these are brutal numbers.

and 53 points underwater on cost of living.

In a new post on Truth Social, President Trump says he’s extending the ceasefire with Iran until an agreement is reached.

Meanwhile, Iranian State media is reported that Iran to the US delegation that they will not be attending the peace talks on Wednesday.

yeah, that doesn't seem right.

fwiw, I'm perfectly happy to criticize liberals for bigotry too.

they are investigating Mills. I suspect he'll be next to go.

This should be a bipartisan litmus test for Fed Chair: Will you support the independence of the Fed?

The fact that Warsh’s answer is shaky, because he believes he’s beholden to Trump, should be disqualifying. But the GOP doesn’t believe in the independence of any agency. Only Trumps.

It is impossible to understate how weird these guys are.

The Hasan Piker stuff is bizarre to me because (a) it’s totally normal to say “don’t do events with x, because y” in politics, (b) he seems like an obvious case of someone politicians should avoid, and (c) “a Twitch streamer is an asshole” is peak dog-bites-man.

you've got to call them something...
