Trump's economic doom loop President Trump's attempt to rebrand the "One Big Beautiful Bill" can't mask a grim reality: His economic approval is collapsing, and the data underneath is only getting worse. Why it matters: Trump is in danger of getting trapped in the same "vibecession" dynamic that doomed President Biden — only this time, the structural signals are flashing red and Trump's signature legislation is toxic. --- * Some Republicans already fear inflation could cost them dearly in the 2026 midterms, warning Trump has only a few months to reset his trajectory on voters' most important issue. * For a president whose credibility on the economy has always been his strongest asset, the prospect of the bottom falling out is uniquely dangerous. State of play: Trump's approval rating on inflation and cost of living currently sits at -24, nearing Biden's lows during the peak of the 2022–23 price surge, according to averages by pollster G. Elliott Morris. * Trump's favorability on jobs and the economy overall is better, but still underwater at -13. * 52% of U.S. adults say the economy is "getting worse," while only 24% say it's getting better and 20% say it's about the same, according to The Economist/YouGov polling. Zoom in: Poll after poll shows Trump's Big Beautiful Bill — which extended his 2017 tax cuts while slashing Medicaid and other safety net programs — is the most unpopular major piece of legislation in years. * Trump campaign officials acknowledged the PR crisis in a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill this week, where they urged Republicans to refer to it as the "Working Families Tax Cut Bill." * Democrats say no amount of rebranding can disguise the reality: The poorest 25% of households lose money under the law while the richest reap the benefits, according to the Congressional Budget Office. The big picture: The bleak voter sentiment matches increasingly bleak fundamentals. * Inflation is creeping higher as Trump's trade war continues to reorder the global economy, with some analysts predicting drug shortages and an uncertain holiday season. * The labor market is softening: Layoffs are rising, and the number of unemployed workers now exceeds job openings for the first time since April 2021. * The housing market is on shaky footing, with interest rates relatively high and supply stagnant. * Manufacturing was supposed to be the biggest beneficiary of Trump's tariffs. Instead, economic activity has shrunk for six months running and now the sector is shedding jobs. The other side: Trump officials maintain the economy is fundamentally strong — pointing to consumer spending, corporate investment and the booming stock market — and blame media coverage for skewing perceptions. * A nonpartisan analysis found the average American will receive a $3,752 federal tax cut in 2026 under the new law — though that's compared to a world without the bill, not today's tax rates. * The White House is also touting no tax on tips, $1,000 "Trump accounts" for newborns and other worker-friendly provisions as proof the legislation helps ordinary households. * Wall Street is not the economy, but the disconnect is stark: Even as Trump's poll numbers lag, the market is up more than 8% since he took office — a huge boost for the 62% of Americans who say they own stocks. What they're saying: "President Trump's trade deals have unlocked unprecedented market access for American exports to economies that in total are worth over $32 trillion with 1.2 billion people," White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement. * "As these unprecedented trade deals and the Administration's pro-growth domestic agenda of deregulation and historic working-class tax cuts take effect, American businesses and families alike have the certainty that the best is yet to come." Between the lines: With his economic agenda already through Congress, Trump has few levers left to pull — beyond pressuring the Federal Reserve to cut rates or a possible tariff rebate check to some Americans. * That could leave the battle over economic perception to messaging and marketing, with billions of dollars in political ad spending expected before the midterms. * If that's the case, Trump may wind up learning Biden's hard lesson: You can't convince voters the economy is strong when their lived experience tells them it's weak.

On the same day in the Telegraph:

This is a huge story.

If you are a sovereign citizen that is.

More of this.

"Stay tuned for more details" -- Epstein survivor announces that survivors are creating their own list of Epstein-related abusers

If you are not a citizen then ICE should be interested.

The cover-up continues

YouTube video by Rep. Ro Khanna Rep. Ro Khanna and Rep. Thomas Massie hold a press conference with Epstein survivors

HAPPENING NOW: Epstein survivor press conference. They deserve to be heard: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6fU...

Who pays the tariffs?

This has to stop. Starting immediately.

Full representation, now, and no gerrymandering. We need to foster communities, not power bases.

BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges.

This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two.

Every day, we inch closer to fascism.

The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to:

•admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states
•abolish ICE
•grant citizenship to any immigrant
•disband the 5th Circuit
•expand the Supreme Court

Seriously: Why the hell not?

I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries.
These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!
