Donald Trump No Longer Seen as Strong Leader by Voters is the crux of the matter, and honestly, it’s a headline that’s been a long time coming. The idea that anyone ever perceived him as a “strong leader” feels baffling, like a collective hallucination. The fact that the proportion of people who saw Trump as “strong and decisive” has declined is, well, it’s something. But when you consider that the data shows almost half the country still sees him that way, it’s honestly depressing.
Donald Trump No Longer Seen as Strong Leader by Voters feels less like a surprise and more like a sigh of relief.… Continue reading

Witkoff, who has made several trips to Moscow, met with Putin without traditional diplomatic support, and the Kremlin carefully assessed his openness to Russia’s perspective. This approach reflects Putin’s effort to bypass established diplomatic channels, which is possibly aimed at influencing the current peace plan discussions and Trump’s decisions.

The Newest Trove of Apparent Epstein Files Posted on DOJ Site Disappears: The story has taken a truly bizarre turn. Tens of thousands of documents, seemingly from the notorious Epstein files, were briefly uploaded to the Justice Department’s website. But like a digital phantom, they vanished as quickly as they appeared. The Justice Department, remaining tight-lipped, has yet to offer any explanation for the sudden removal, leaving a vacuum of speculation and questions in their wake.

One of the most immediate reactions I had was the way the information was being handled.… Continue reading
