People who still might be holding out on showing up en masse to protests or still doubting that No Kings held any use, this is the result - doing so makes it visible to others on how unpopular the ruling power is and helped push ones on the fence to view Trump as such.
Keep protesting.
Props to @motherjones.com for being one of the only outlets to actually print Trump's disgusting words in their headline:
"Finally, what really stands out about Trump’s trajectory is not just how low his approval is. It’s that it basically never bounces, either. Over 14 months, there hasn’t been a single sustained recovery in his overall approval rating."

This is the good stuff right here.
Today was the day Trump truly became Fuckin’ president

What a perfect distillation of how a certain type of mind operates.
And it’s not just the tweet. The entire AP article leaves out, “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards.”
New episode of @davidnir.com & Rupar is live and features a discussion of Trump's losing streak across a number of fronts -- in Iran, at home, and in the realm of public opinion

hey is anyone hiring
It’s pretty amazing. I just checked out all the replies and all the quote tweets. Literally 100% clowning on them, zero exceptions.
As I noted last week, I called the SoS and they said their LONGSTANDING INTERPRETATION was to extend filing. This is the very definition of arbitrary and capricious. Absolutely outrageous.

Going live with @davidnir.com at 1pm eastern to talk about Trump's back-to-back-to-back setbacks this week, and we'll take live questions from viewers too.
Tune in:
Graph showing only 51% of Republicans say the economy is currently getting better, down from about 70-75% before the Iran War.
Something interesting is happening here. This is *just Republicans* souring on the economy.

Democrat Hector Mujica has launched a campaign to unseat Republican Rep. Carlos Gimenez in a Miami-area U.S. House district that swung massively to the right over the last decade. Trump's nosedive with Latino voters, though, gives Democrats reason to hope for a rebound.
These are all good questions! I'm not in a hurry to hazard a guess simply because it's too easy to fall into a trap of, "Dems must be doing better because they're finally doing what *I* think they should do!"
But @gelliottmorris.com & I are working on a poll designed to tease this out!
Great chart here showing that the improvement in the standing of congressional Dems is due to a *big* shift among the most liberal Democratic voters.
There's any number of possible reasons why, but we'd need further data to do anything more than guess (which Montgomery wisely avoids).
"What makes this slim comparative Democratic advantage—disliked, but slightly less disliked—noteworthy is that it’s the first time since right before Trump took office in January 2025 that congressional Democrats have had a higher net favorability than congressional Republicans."

I've never personally participated in Learned League, but I do love their #bestwronganswers and wish they would post them more often!
You're telling me a shrimp fried that private equity?
I think it's a pretty serious problem that the second highest-ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee thinks that Pam Bondi—who delayed an execution to attend a fundraiser, who dropped an investigation into Trump University after getting a Trump donation—ever had integrity to begin with.
The struggle was real! 😂
Ah. In the U.S., it's always been "Sun"! Ain't seen one of those pouches in a long, long time, though...
This is one of the most vexing stories we’ve ever written. It’s impossible to square this circle unless you start indulging some outlandish theories that are pure speculation. But who knows?
Join me and @davidnir.com for our live podcast recording tomorrow at 2:00 PM Eastern. We're going to talk about Trump's new record polling lows, the generic ballot - approval gap, and whatever Trump announces re: Iran tonight.
