The new Pew poll shows Trump's popularity is dropping. But rather than lean into defiance and enforcing justice, my stupid Democratic Party focuses on averting a shutdown and complaining about grocery prices without presenting solutions.

Maybe I'm naive but the partisan split here is even more dramatic than I would have expected -- especially given that high prices for housing, healthcare, fuel, and many foods continue to frustrate people of all parties.

1. Trump is not logical or well-informed
2. Trump thinks 'great' presidents expand US territory
3. Trump is testing his power by insisting on something illogical and controversial
4. All of the above
My only quibble is that I can more easily see Tracy Morgan playing Not-Eric Adams

But the bigger problem in America today is the radical Supreme Court, constructed over the past 35 years by ultra-conservatives who prioritize political ideology over democracy.
