Latest Donald Trump polls: Disapproval worse than after Jan. 6. Here’s why A new poll has found that President Donald Trump's disapproval rating has reached its highest point across both his terms.

After this coast-to-coast blowout, some Republicans will conclude that the authorities need to crack down much harder. Others might start thinking in more positive directions as they watch the Magical Media Genius's ratings hit an all-time low.

Shock as Orbán allies buy Hungary’s most-read newspaper Blikk, a tabloid with about 3 million online monthly readers, bought by pro-Orbán media group Indamedia

Like America's MAGA billionaires, Hungary's big political piggies (as opposed to the old lords of media) are going for blood as a crucial election impends.

Great night for Democrats I support. Now let's bury Chuck Schumer!

The state's right-wing Republican governor is trying to subsidize the SNAP gaps!

Surely, nothing can stop Cuomo now!

The markets say Xi ate Trump's lunch and dinner.

I cannot see how Americans will not freak out very soon about utility rates—while Trump blithely strives to ban cheap renewables and line his pockets with shakedowns and crypto games. People notice their energy bills every month!

Trump Addresses Shutdown And Controversial Pardon In ‘60 Minutes’ Interview Trump said he did not know who Changpeng Zhao was and said he only knew that the crypto billionaire—whom he pardoned—was targeted by a “Biden witch hunt.”

Everyone's talking about the cuts Trump kept suggesting in his CBS interview; CBS obliged but kept them in the transcript. THIS HINT of the discussion of crypto felon CZ—who made the Trumps $1 billion just before he was pardoned for, among other things, laundering fentanyl money—is more interesting.

imagine being told to move away from a celebrity and not knowing who the fuck theyre talking about

GrokGrammar!

French MPs voted to replace France’s property wealth tax with a broader tax on ‘unproductive wealth’
If approved, the wealth tax would apply to property & to so-called “unproductive” assets such as jewelry, art, luxury vehicles, yachts, aircraft, precious metals, digital currencies ...

I hope future generations recognize how quickly and strangely the contours of what counts as a political scandal changed for this president.

"at least" is a nice touch.

Peter Watkins, Oscar-winning director of The War Game, dies aged 90 Radical English director who clashed with the BBC over his ‘horrifying’ film about nuclear war, was forced to look abroad to continue working

RIP Peter Watkins. I was fortunate to partake in a course he taught at Columbia. Peter was an utterly original filmmaker, a remarkable cultural warrior and critic. (Imagine watching Night and Fog with someone who opposed/studied fast editing & used a stopwatch to time cuts—tapping a metal lamp.)

Dems take all three executive offices: NYC mayoralty, governorships in NJ and Va.

I find that unthinkable. You may be right.

Mandatory separation, I should think. I cannot think of any purpose that sign could have anywhere in the world unless to illustrate the Holocaust or the death camp system.

An Eyewitness Account of How ICE Raids Are Chilling the Economy On Everybody’s Business, we see up close the economic consequences of Donald Trump’s immigration dragnet. We also explore the flailing film industry.

On 10/24, masked agents raided economist Leo Feler's home in Chicago. “I spent pretty much an all-nighter cleaning up the blood,” saying both workers and agents seem to have been injured... He has paused his renovation project indefinitely, [& sees] “a broader effect on the overall US economy.”

Cuomo is openly rotting on the campaign trail.

Cuomo is rotting on the campaign trail.

Of course, we must all then bow to the majority. Cuomo is rotting on the campaign trail.

One of NYC's very best politicians!

Happy #Caturday from #Squidley, who celebrated her 10th birthday on #Halloween! When I first met her in spring 2016 and was photographing her, she grabbed my iPhone and forced this "selfie"! I fell in love. This pic even has a ghoulish quality that befits her birth date ...

The adults behind this need to be exposed!

One tough, old, well-armed Frenchman! He was able to yell for days until someone finally heard. Imagine the celebratory dinners he will enjoy in this rugged area. I happen to be reading Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Travels With a Donkey in the Cevennes.'

Harrisburg’s Catholic bishop apologizes for ‘notorious symbol of hate’ on Halloween float The phrase "Arbeit Macht Frei" was commonly posted at Wolrd War II-era concentration camps. Thursday, it also landed on a float in the Hanover Halloween parade.

Not "Evidently."
The parents behind this should be exposed and made to answer for the Auschwitz float they surely inspired and built for mobile display in a Catholic grade school Halloween parade.

I guess I was lucky, even in crisis. The people were very nice. They deserve better, but the country's' inherently fascist military-economic structure—the Army controls vast productive resources—is insuperable. And the Moslem Brotherhood utterly blew its chance to govern. (What's the second choice?)

While tens of millions—including many MAGA supporters—await a cutoff of food stamps, the imperial dunce unveils a marbled Lincoln Bathroom that Honest Abe (raised with outhouses) would have reviled.
