The comps are probably Nixon and Hoover (who was not in the polling era).

It is hard to think of a president who approached this level of unpopularity this early in their term.

Paying informants? With fictitious entities?

Based on the SPLC indictment the FBI should indict itself

BREAKING: Storied civil rights group Southern Poverty Law Center indicted on 11 counts, including fraud conspiracy, bank fraud & money laundering. DOJ alleges SPLC fueled hate groups while raising money off threat. Ind: www.documentcloud.org/documents/28... Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Is that bad?

This will be about SPLC

"There were signs of low character." Oh really?

It is always, I'll say, amusing when one of these people (Sohrab is another) are like "Wow, didn't see this one coming. My bad," when anyone not brain-poisoned could have told them and did tell them that this was coming.

The president is very stupid.

Aliya Rahman Files Complaint Against DHS, Sets Stage For Federal Lawsuit The Minneapolis resident was in a viral video of federal immigration enforcement agents dragging her out of her car on her way to a doctor’s appointment.

JUST IN: Aliya Rahman, the Minneapolis woman whose violent arrest by ICE agents in January was filmed and went viral, today filed a complaint against DHS over its agents' "brutal tactics and conduct."

My final splash for @huffpost.com after nearly 12 years - on today's historic rebuke by senators of bombs and bulldozers for Israel.

From police presser: "I'm here to confirm the identity of our shooter in this murder suicide that happened several hours ago as former Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax. Former Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax shot and killed his wife inside of their home and then shot and killed himself."

It is interesting that someone so concerned about "bias" was blinded by their own bias to not believe that these people were indeed not just worse but the worst.

Scott Alexander is sensible

*Forty* senators voted against US weapons for Israel tonight.

~1/2 the chamber & the overwhelming majority of Democrats + allies. No such vote had ever occurred in Congress before November 2024.

A sea-change that will resonate in Tel Aviv, dramatically boost calls for a Dem overhaul + reckoning.

My theory is that Republican employ Gingrichian mad-libs in inverse proportion to the confidence they have in the popularity of their positions. Using three of more "contrasting words" consecutively is a rhetorical Hail Mary and suggests they know they are unpopular.

NEW: A key Senate vote today could send a big signal about the US-Israel relationship & Trump's wars—and the future of the Democratic Party
