Trump: "I also, by the way, got Greenland. I hope you're happy about that."
Trump: "I'm very popular. I really am…I'm really popular. I mean, CNN just did a poll. I'm at 99%, the highest ever, in the Republican Party. I'm popular. I'm very popular."

It's OK to look down on people who voted for Trump.

Crazy... I can't figure out whether it's gone by incredibly fast or very slow. Somehow, both.

The WSJ‘s coverage here has been outrageously great. Everything is about an inch from “In the text messages, Guilfoyle instructed the billionaire playboy to put the money in a burlap sack with a dollar sign on the side and wrote ‘In exchange for cash, I’ll do you favors in my official capacity ❤️.’”

12 killed. 309 injured. Including an American death. All while Trump claims the war is "over" and demands a Nobel Peace Prize.
Sen. Ashley Moody is barely campaigning, and even some Florida Republicans aren’t impressed. @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and Kimberly Leonard examine the Florida senator’s unusually low-profile campaign, which Republicans themselves have reportedly compared to Joe Biden’s ‘basement’ campaign.
I am personally not sure what Trump's approval rating floor is, but it's definitely lower than pundits were predicting in early 2025. It is a possibility that he never gets above the mid-30s again (among all adults) fiftyplusone.news/polls/approv...
