Trump down to 33% approval, entering new low territory that should make it harder for him to easily consolidate power.

In the race between how fast he can consolidate power and how fast he becomes unpopular, he's losing.

And this is before the Epstein/Trump news.

Trump desperately pressuring Republicans who signed the Epstein petition before Grijalva signs it at 4:10 PM when it will then be too late to stop it.

The fact that Trump is calling Mace and Boebert today pleading with them to remove their names from the Epstein petition at the last minute tells you everything you need to know about how incriminating the info in the files is to him and his cronies.

CONFIRMED: the gold snot covering the Oval Office is $58-apiece onlays from Home Depot that have been spraypainted.

When Laura Ingraham confronted Trump about this in the Oval—specifically and correctly noting that the tacky garbage was from Home Depot—he lied to her face and insisted it wasn't.

Any Senate Democrats who vote to cave are feckless, weak-willed and gullible — or even worse. The American people want you to hold the line and keep on fighting.

DO NOT FOLD!!!

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
