Trump approval falls to 35% as rating on handling prices hits a record -46 Our new Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll finds the president's overall job approval at a new low, Democrats leading by 7 on the generic ballot, and a majority says the Iran war is not worth the cost

New Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll conducted April 10-14, 2026 finds 55% of U.S. adults say the House should vote to impeach Trump. 37% oppose, and 8% are unsure. A surprising percentage of both Republicans and Trump’s own 2024 voters say they would support impeachment if a vote were held today.

Yep. Their position is *explicitly* that they can do it and Dems can't -- that's what Trumpism is

Pick your poison: speech, discrimination, voting, violence, etc. etc.

@gregsargent.bsky.social nails it here that the essence of Trumpism is that he and their followers can do what they want, but when the opposition does the same it is wrong.

🧵 A story about academic publishing, a student-run journal that restored my faith in humanity, and why I just passed up the chance at a "higher-ranked" placement on purpose.

Call it "Why I'm Not Expediting." #AcademicSky #LawSky

Like my new sticker?

No fuel stops. No price shocks. Just charge at home and drive.

This isn’t a drivetrain swap, it’s a system flip. From imported oil to rooftop energy.

Once the fleet scales, the economics break fast.

Cost always wins. #Bettrification

Zillow: "Zillow economists just published their updated 12-month forecast, projecting that U.S. home prices—as measured by the Zillow Home Value Index—will shift +0.0% between March 2026 and March 2027."

With 3% inflation, that is a decline in real prices.

Testing finds toxic metals where Tesla discharges wastewater The drainage district that commissioned the testing has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the company, which says it is in compliance with all requirements for its state wastewater discharge permit.

I’m shocked. www.texastribune.org/2026/04/21/t...

I also think a lot of American GOP propaganda around bombing Iran is built around the racist idea that Iranians are some kind of primitive people who don’t know what modernity is and reject it. So in that sense making even better memes than the stupid shit Trump puts out is smart contradiction

I know we’re not supposed to like the Iranian social media teen meme army seeing us for what we’ve told them we are on the Internet but I like to think this kind of thing is really just them reaching out and saying we don’t like this either and know you’ll appreciate the hilarity

Today is a good day for democracy 💥

Donald Trump, Greg Abbott, and Mike Johnson tried to rig midterms… and still took the L.

Virginia voters understood the assignment. They saw it for what it was and obliterated it.

"When I started writing about the climate crisis in the 1980s I was in my twenties, & I didn’t fully comprehend that there could be a force on this planet so steeped in greed & power that it would sacrifice the earth and its inhabitants for its own narrow interests. But there is, and it’s Big Oil."

one of the single most important bursts of legislative activity in the nation's history happened because the governing party did not hesitate to remove their opponents from congress itself when they had the opportunity. 🤷🏿‍♂️

if there is a path to either national nonpartisan redistricting or proportional representation, it is going to go through one party or another. but the first step toward it actually happening is for that party to win power, and you go to war with the system you have, not the one you want.

but the fact of the matter is that with the notable exception *of* the mid to late 20th century, every major change in our political system and government has been a partisan or ideological political project.

one of the ways the mid to late 20th century political world has distorted the historical memories of even sophisticated observers is in the idea that you can achieve major transformations of american political life through something like bipartisan consensus

the shift to a winner-take-all distribution of electoral votes? a partisan project. the development of the mass political party? a partisan project. antislavery and reconstruction? a partisan project. even direct election of senators comes out of populist agitation in the late 19th century.

I love how people in the US says AOC can't win in 2028, but they keep putting her name next to other candidates as their choice. Sometimes as president with a "supporting" vice president, or as vice president.

Come on. Who are you trying to fool?

AOC will be president.

Winners ignore the haters.

Thirteen U.S. troops died trying to get these people to safety — Afghan interpreters, soldiers, and the families of our service members. Veterans spent sleepless nights during the chaotic withdrawal fighting to keep them alive. Now our own government is going to abandon them.
