Enten: "It's not just one poll. The five worst polls ever for any president on inflation, they all belong to Donald Trump and they have all occurred in the last month. What we're talking about here is the worst numbers ever. Joe Biden isn't in there. Jimmy Carter isn't in there."

Very disappointing, though ultimately unsurprising, to see the DOJ surrender in the middle of the Ticketmaster-LiveNation case after political pressure from the top. Hopefully the states will continue to push to break up a monopoly that should have never been allowed to exist in the first place.
