The bad news is that it appears CBS News has fallen.
The good news is that independent media has been ready for this moment.

This Jack Smith deposition makes one thing abundantly clear:
If Donald Trump wasn’t re-elected, he’d be spending the rest of his life in prison.
And he should be.

Hours before it was set to air last night, CBS News executives pulled the segment, but Canada’s Global TV app received it prior to broadcast.

I’m no expert, but this is spot on and mirrors what we’ve been saying.
Trump has dementia and is visibly declining. The rambling, the speed, the confusion, the fixation, the sundowning. It’s happening before our eyes.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

I believe Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens have the pulse of the modern MAGA movement going forward.
You can laugh at them and dismiss them as cranks, but you have to pay attention to what they're selling.
This is what comes after Trump.

Enten: "This is probably the worst 10 day period for the president in the polls his entire second term. The numbers are just atrocious ... when your best poll has you 14 points underwater, you know it's truly bad and it's as bad as 26 points underwater ... -43 with independents! They despise him."

A gold-standard NORC poll just dropped Trump to a devastating 33% approval & Republicans are peeling off fast, down 13 points since March. When one of the most credible pollsters in America shows your own base running for the lifeboats, it’s not a “deep-state hoax.” It’s a collapsing presidency.

I don’t understand camps saying: Dems need to follow the Mamdani model to win the midterms; or Dems need to follow the Spanberger model to win. It’s a big country. Different approaches work in different places. Candidates who connect w/their specific constituencies is the model.
