A freedom-loving people will not stand for the corruption and the power grabs we’re witnessing daily in our country. That's why millions of Americans took to the streets a few days ago, and it's why elections like the Virginia governor race will show the path to a better future a few days from now.

Trump's approval rating on the economy takes hit because of shutdown, inflation, CNBC survey finds Americans' views on the economy turned more negative in the third quarter with deepening concerns about jobs, inflation and the outlook.

A new poll shows Americans blame Trump and Republicans over Democrats for the shutdown 53%-37%. (Independents blame Trump by a nearly 3-to-1 margin, 58%-21%.).

People aren’t dumb.

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

This is sick. Several of the MS13 gang members Trump traded to Bukele so he could have access to CECOT prison for deportees were actually COOPERATORS with law enforcement. He betrayed them. wapo.st/4nbNiM4

Mark Carney seen as calm and rational; Pierre Poilievre as arrogant and hot-tempered A new study by Spark Insights has found that Mark Carney is seen as the more calm and rational leader, while Pierre Poilievre is seen as more arrogant and hot-tempered.

New poll says Canadians see Mark Carney as calm and rational and Pierre Poilievre as arrogant and hot-tempered.
So basically: one’s acting like a Prime Minister, the other’s auditioning for Real Housewives of Parliament Hill.
