Remarkable: Trump's own pollster just found that in swing House districts, Dems lead by 5 points and voters want tax policy to prioritize working people, per Politico.
Yet GOP is about to brutally slash the safety net and give the rich huge tax cuts!

Trump’s Own Pollster Just Hit Him with Very Bad News—and a Warning
A poll of swing-district voters is already showing heaps of warning signs for Republicans bent on helping billionaires. That was fast.

This is it, in a nutshell. US media orgs are obeying in advance (@timothysnyder.bsky.social). And UK ones are acting as useful idiots to some of the worst companies on the planet
Perturbing article by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social on the opaque new ownership of the Observer. At a time when US newspaper owners kowtow to Trump, it's worrying to see a quality UK paper flog itself off for no discernable reason.
