Political analyst Nate Silver noted that disapproval of President Trump is slightly higher now than at a comparable point in his first term, with 55.9% disapproving. This negative sentiment is attributed to factors like the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, economic policies, and general fatigue. Recent polls from The Economist/YouGov and Fox News indicate declining approval ratings and negative views on the economy, potentially impacting the upcoming 2026 midterm elections.

Republican lawmakers grow alarmed over signs of 2026 election wipeout is what they should be. It’s almost comical how they’re just now getting worried. Many are pointing to the “shit show” they’ve created as the main catalyst for their potential downfall. There’s a prevailing sentiment that the Republican party’s actions, policies, and overall direction have led them to this point.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Exit Deals a Blow to Republicans’ Majority in Congress
So, here’s the deal: Marjorie Taylor Greene, a name that certainly sparks a reaction, is leaving Congress. Now, in the grand scheme of things, some might brush this off.

Senate reaches deal on ending the shutdown. Well, that’s the headline, isn’t it? But, reading between the lines, things aren’t quite as straightforward as they might seem. The agreement, it seems, hinges on a promise – a vote in December to extend those Affordable Care Act subsidies. Now, on the surface, that sounds good, right? A vote to potentially protect healthcare coverage. But let’s really look at it.
The devil, as they say, is in the details. That “promise” comes from Senate Majority Leader John Thune. He’s promising the Democrats a vote. But a vote is just a vote. It doesn’t guarantee anything.… Continue reading
