It's a sign that things are changing that Dems are now circulating strategy memos saying they can take this issue on directly.
This is striking: New Senate Majority PAC poll finds that GOP's advantage on immigration has been wiped out by unpopularity of Trump's agenda. Dems now at parity with Republicans.

This is a Dem poll but it dovetails with what other polls are showing (see piece/thread below)

In 2023, under Joe Biden, the economy added 3 million jobs. In 2024, still under Biden, it added 2.2 million jobs. In 2025, under Trump, it added just 181,000 jobs.

You read that right - Trump is just that amazing.

Excluding recessions, 2025 was the worst year for job growth in America in nearly a quarter-century.

But hey, look on the bright side: Donald Trump is getting a free tricked-out Boeing 747 and a fancy new mega-ballroom and a new performing-arts center to show 𝙈𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙖 𝙄𝙄: 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙉𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙨!

“And this is why Bad Bunny’s performance hit us squarely in our feelings. It announced that everyone is invited to his party. You only need to show up with open ears and hearts,” @mctelevision.bsky.social writes.
Bad Bunny gave us a Super Bowl halftime show for all Americans
In an electrifying, fully Spanish performance, the Puerto Rican superstar showed what the joy of unity looks like.

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.

Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

"During In Living Color’s first season, a marketing impresario approached Fox with an idea that would stick it to CBS, the NFL rights holder and Super Bowl carrier that Murdoch had in his sights: a special episode of In Living Color that would air opposite the Super Bowl intermission."
time to remind everybody that the Super Bowl halftime show only exists in this grandiose fashion because a tv show called "In Living Color" stole the ratings from the NFL; the execs notoriously said, "get me Michael Jackson's agent" and thus began all the pomp

Bad Bunny and company created a show that was dazzlingly fun, danceable, and so rich in thought-provoking imagery/meaning/history that I can't wait to rewatch it and read about it. Awe-inspiring.

People arguing about Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl are behind the curve. Culture already moved.

The NFL didn’t experiment; it aligned with gravity. That’s how power actually changes.

Quietly, then all at once. 💥

Listen to this angry 3 time Trump voter. He goes on and on about the inhumanity of ICE. It's very powerful.

We need to narrow the targets and focus on criminals, not kids.
