This poisonous Trump regime is a disgrace. Their removal will be a day to celebrate.
Homeland Security is calling U.S. cities “sanctuary sewers.” The Trump regime wants Americans to hate other Americans. It’s deeply unpatriotic and must be stopped.

Between the shutdown, the drops in bitcoin and some speculative stocks, the electoral losses, and maybe a shift in the economy it does seem like Trump lost the new part of his coalition over the past month (plus some true believers like MTG):

There have been at least 154 cases in which federal district courts have issued preliminary relief against a Trump administration policy.

Those rulings have come from 121 *different* judges appointed by seven presidents (including 15 appointed by Trump) sitting in 29 district courts in 10 circuits:
