Trump’s trailing in favorability polling against figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders, as a recent Gallup survey indicates, is perhaps not surprising, given the political climate. When we break it down, it’s interesting to see how this plays out. The poll reveals that Trump’s net favorable rating is significantly in the negative, standing at minus 16 points. With 41% viewing him favorably and a concerning 57% holding an opposite view, it’s clear there’s a substantial portion of the population with a negative perception. An additional 2% are undecided, which could potentially sway the numbers.
It’s also worth noting that favorability ratings don’t always directly translate into votes.… Continue reading

😭😭😭😭 tRump is a pedophile, a convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist and the reason none of us get to have nice things.
This is the heart of the matter, isn’t it? The core sentiment driving a lot of the frustration and anger. It’s a blunt assessment, a raw declaration of the perceived reality: that Donald Trump is not just a problematic figure, but a dangerous one. The allegations, the legal consequences, the perceived impact on society – they all coalesce into a feeling of betrayal, of lost opportunities, of a future diminished by his actions. It’s a statement that cuts deep, a condemnation that leaves little room for nuance or compromise.… Continue reading
During a press conference, New York Governor Kathy Hochul stated that a “war” is occurring regarding the redistricting of U.S. House maps, specifically referencing actions in Texas and other Republican-led states. Texas Democrats have left the state to prevent Republican Governor Greg Abbott’s efforts to redraw maps, which could favor Republicans. Abbott has threatened to remove the absent Democrats from their positions if they do not return, as the new map could significantly increase Republican representation. In response, California Democrats are reportedly considering a plan that could increase their representation in the state.

A recent national poll revealed a significant portion of voters believe President Trump was involved in Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes, with 46% of respondents answering yes. This belief is strongly divided along party lines, with a large majority of Democrats holding this view, while independents were in the middle and Republicans largely disagreed. The same poll also found that a majority of voters, regardless of party affiliation, believe the Trump administration is covering up evidence related to the Epstein case. Concurrently, the poll and others indicate a continuing trend of declining approval ratings for President Trump, reflecting a broader pattern across various polling organizations.

If Trump and the GOP keep this up, AOC is going to be president. This is a fascinating, and frankly, quite plausible scenario. There’s a real sense, sifting through the commentary, that the current political climate, particularly the actions of Trump and the Republican Party, could inadvertently pave the way for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to take the highest office in the land. It’s a complicated prediction, riddled with doubts and skepticism, yet underpinned by a core belief that the status quo is unsustainable.
The common thread woven through many of the thoughts is a deep-seated frustration with the Republican Party and, to a lesser extent, the Democratic establishment.… Continue reading
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has publicly criticized the Republican Party, stating she is unsure if she relates to the party anymore, particularly concerning the treatment of women. Greene expressed dissatisfaction with the GOP’s direction, accusing it of neglecting the “America First” agenda and reverting to a “neocon” past. She also highlighted disagreements on foreign policy, especially regarding the Israel-Gaza conflict. Political analysts suggest these statements reflect inevitable splits within the MAGA base following the 2024 elections, potentially benefiting Democrats in the upcoming 2026 midterms.

During a recent appearance, President Trump claimed his administration had lowered drug prices by an impossible 1200-1500 percent.

This claim also occurred just days after the firing of a top government statistics official due to job growth data. The president has been previously criticized for making similar inaccurate statements regarding inflation and poll numbers.
