Polls now show Trump's approval ratings consistently below 40%, with the public turning on both his presidency and his ICE raids. Support for ICE reform is climbing. And an upset Democratic victory just flipped a district Trump won by double digits. Get the full rundown in this Week in Wins.

It’s hard to find logic in attacks like this. Russia is literally waging war on chocolate bars – absurd and deadly. This isn’t warfare by any rules; it’s terror against civilians, for the sake of terror.
