accidentalflyer 🇨🇦🇹🇼🇺🇸🇺🇦@accidentalflyer.bsky.social · 9h agoI'm starting to suspect Trump had only one thing in mind, exchange US sitting out Chinese invasion of Taiwan in exchange for China sitting out American invasion of Cuba. Once Xi Jinping agreed to such a great deal for China, the meeting's done.
You don’t gut the country's capacity to measure what's happening in its schools because you care about improving them. Guardian article below.
Two possibilities here. Either Trump is so toxic that nobody wants him near a competitive district or he is so toxic that there are districts in OK and AL that should not be competitive and are. Or both. Probably both.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdaySo this story is WAY wilder than I thought The Trump post I flagged this morning because it includes Natalie Harp is actually based on the Getty photo you can see below.

Maine, with its low population is a place where money differences really matter and Collins has been crushing Jackson on the air. Donations directly to candidates are worth 2-4x what PACs get to spend also in terms of ads, so give to Troy.

So it feels like everyone - especially republicans talking up a diesel export ban - are really focused on the midterms, but I find myself wondering what Year 3 and Year 4 of this is going to look like, if energy prices remain elevated and bond yields continue to keep upwards.
This is exciting because I don’t want this to happen because it would be a disaster. But I also wouldn’t mind it happening because I’m curious what it looks like when Trump’s approval dips into the 20’s before election day.
Catherine Rampell@crampell.bsky.social · 2d agoLike every 10 minutes there’s another White House leak that this diesel export ban is definitely happening or definitely not happening

George Pearkes@peark.es · 2d agoReuters' White House reporter says the 90d diesel export ban is not happening, per a White House official. The one Politico source saying "whoever talks to him last will get their way" seems 100% correct.
Trump is officially below Bush's all-time lowest approval rating.
