The Poll question says nothing about the job that Trump is doing. Sure if Trump accomplishes something with which Americans of any persuasion can concur, many…maybe 70%...would be willing to acknowledge that. But there is seriously NOTHING that he has done that I can concur with.

Last week, @rhodesben.bsky.social and I did a Munk Debates against Kevin Roberts and Kellyanne Conway on whether Trump is leading America into a new golden age.

We won. This is from my closing statement.

There’s nothing golden about a movement that bathes in gratuitous cruelty.

@mattyglesias.bsky.social on Trump's efforts to crush the flagship university of the nation he purports to lead: "This is not an intervention to make anything better, it’s an attack on academic freedom. Or worseβ€”it’s an attack on civil society."

In a competitive global economy, we need the best educated workforce in the world - doctors, nurses, dentists, plumbers, welders, electricians, etc.

Young people should not have to go deeply into debt to get the education they and our nation need.

We must make public colleges tuition free.

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.

In rural West Texas, a measles outbreak grows with no end in sight At least 49 cases have been confirmed. Health officials β€” who are scrambling to get a handle on the vaccine-preventable outbreak β€” suspect 200 to 300 people may be infected.

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

I think the point is that the people who people suspect to be gay, are the most disparaging and cruel towards the freedoms of those who are LBGTQ+ as well as when it comes to LGBTQ+ issues, such as removing the T and the Q from the Stonewall Memorial web site.

Yes, this is all true. The problem...everything Musk and Trump are doing is illegal and our leaders have got to stop them now before it's too late. And It is fast approaching too late. Trump is ignoring and will continue to ignore all injunctions and court rulings. There is no one to enforce them.

Yes !! This is exactly what we need and NOW. We can't wait until 2026. We need you+all our past leaders to stand up now, plan rallies, speak up loudly. We will come. Trump is president because he did not crawl under a rock after 2020. He stayed relevant to his masses. We need our leaders now.
