Trump Is a Weak, Failing President. These Brutal New Polls Confirm It. As new national polls show Trump’s approval tanking, a leading analyst explains how the data shows that Trump is far more unpopular than is commonly acknowledged—and details why this matters for 2026.

Media and Dems are still getting this badly wrong: Trump is deeply unpopular! Recent approval numbers:

38-54 (Quinnipiac)
39-60 (AP)
40-56 (Gallup)
41-58 (Reuters)
39-56 (Economist)

On the pod, @lakshya.splitticket.org explains these numbers brilliantly. Listen:

Cool! I don't know how common these are, but just last week my spouse casually proposed flashing yellows as a phase that our neighborhood bike lane signals should have and it made a ton of sense to me.

My public history grad course had solid readings, but if I were to revise them this looks worth consideration.

Tbf there's a longer precedent of blurring the line between museum and amusement park, like the whole field of natural history going back to cabinets of curiosities

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

"AI infrastructure spending will require $2 TRILLION in annual AI revenue by 2030."

"Morgan Stanley estimates that last year there was around $45 billion of revenue for AI products."

That's quite the gap to overcome.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

#EnvHist folks - what are some go-to readings for narratives about conservation in the UK, especially late 19th-early 20th C.??

If you want the Forest Service to be anything other than just a logging company get in those public comments, people

Medicine and Pregnancy: An Overview Learn how common it is to take medicines during pregnancy and what you should do if you're pregnant.

⚠️ CDC quietly updated its webpage to caution pregnant people about acetaminophen (Tylenol).

Sneaky changes driven by politics instead of science erode public trust and put lives at risk.

As scientists who once shaped CDC's webpages, this is heartbreaking. 💔

Nexstar And Tegna Announce Merger Plan: What To Look For Next Nexstar, already the largest owner of broadcast TV stations in the U.S., announced yesterday that they will be purchasing Tegna, Inc. for $6.2 billion. What's next?

full Homonoff piece in Forbes:

Media industry expert Howard Homonoff actually predicted this in August when the proposed Nexstar-Tegna merger was announced. This is what he wrote after first saying Trump's FCC is likely to ignore legal precedent and approve the deal without involving Congress.

I am once again asking @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social to come on The War on Cars podcast to talk about his transportation, public space, and climate policies.

AI ‘Workslop’ Is Killing Productivity and Making Workers Miserable AI slop is taking over workplaces. Workers said that they thought of their colleagues who filed low-quality AI work as "less creative, capable, and reliable than they did before receiving the output."

A new study, based on a survey of 1,150 workers suggests that the injection of AI tools into the workplace has not resulted in a magic productivity boom and instead increased the amount of time that workers say they spend fixing low-quality AI-generated “work.”

World news organisations urge US not to slash journalist visas Planned change would hurt its image abroad, they tell the US. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at straitstimes.com.

The latest example of Trump’s relentless assault on free speech.

He's rewriting visa rules to make it harder for foreign reporters to cover his presidency - so he can just kick them out if they write stories he doesn't like.

The most intriguing 19thC prison reformer I've read complained about the system's sexism, arguing that the US wasn't locking up enough women. He might be pleased with this.

He also believed in absolute solitary confinement as universal cure for criminality, so realizing his dreams isn't a win.

I never got to take a class with him b/c of how his sabbatical and my program of study worked out! What a character. Also, would surreptitious coffee roasting be harder or easier in the new building?

Pause your doomscrolling and listen to this story.

Screenshot of post on X from VA Secretary Doug Collins. The text reads: @ProPublica is an extreme liberal news outlet that will do anything to make the Trump Administration look bad. But this week, the far-left editors there reached a new low by sending @VernalColeman to stalk @DeptVetAffairs employees at their homes. This creepy behavior will discourage good people from coming to work at VA. @ProPublica, please do better and stop letting your hatred of the Trump Administration continue to warp your judgment.

It's a journalist's job to ask questions of government officials, no matter which party is in power. That often means respectfully knocking on doors to get answers people deserve to know.
