Trump’s Honeymoon Hara-Kiri While most presidents enjoy a post-inaugural boost to their popularity, the early post-Liberation Day polling shows Trump’s support on the economy collapsing rapidly.

New for @puck.news

Donald Trump’s poll numbers on the economy were already shaky - and now they’re absolutely terrible.

And we’re not even at 100 Days

This was the best piece, commentary, take I’ve seen so far on @governor.ca.gov’s reasons for this podcast.
Lifelong CA Dem here, and this is just ‘Gavin bringing Gavin’ at his best. He’s actually brave enough to test it out.

- Gav tells Michael Savage: “Trump and I are getting along!”
- Next guest: Steve Bannon

"Here we are, nearly two weeks into the Trump administration, and they’ve thrown everything out there to cause a lot of chaos, but nothing that actually benefits working people."

this is a good example of how to not just cede the floor of bro media to the right… w/ nitpick that Kamala did make explicit point of campaigning on price gouging, but message didn't breakthru
