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."
No doubt trump will demand this guy is fired from CNN, but jeez, what a great and memorable broadcast. He drove the message home how much trumped and the GOP are despised! Love the physicality of his performance 😂

DOGE was always a very thinly disguised con to dress up data theft and extraction class destruction of federal corporate oversight as innovative, and it's important to remember that part of the reason it worked so well is that the press helped legitimize it
hey don't be so hard on yourselves; it delivered oceans of sensitive government and citizen data to billionaires

Today a judge ordered the frivolous charges and cases against James Comey and AG Letitia James made against them by the fascist MAGA regime be dropped and dismissed.
Good, another loss for the Orange convicted felon. He’s probably angry and I love it. Lock him up.

Maybe putting a dozen narcissistic poser Fox hosts in charge of sprawling federal agencies with millions of combined employees and vastly important responsibilities with enormous power wasn’t the greatest plan.

Democratic lawyer Marc Elias said his election litigation boutique, Elias Law Firm, has been growing quickly in head count and demand since he launched it four years ago, partly thanks to a surge in litigation over voting rights and redistricting over the last year. www.law.com/newyorklawjo...
Marc Elias' Boutique Sees Rising Demand, Head Count, as Political Litigation Ramps Up| Law.com
The boutique has grown to 62 total attorneys since its founding in 2021, an increase Elias credited largely to redistricting fights at the state level.

Doctor here. Her story is that of tens of thousands of Americans.
Another example: When Chad Boseman was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer, his 5 yr survival was <14%: he died in 2020. Today his 5 yr survival would be >55%. So tragic.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.
The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
Textbook corporate greed.
