Trump's approval rating just hit an all-time low. Polling for Republicans ahead of the midterms is tanking too. Good news. But do not let the unpopularity of Trump and the GOP result in you becoming complacent. We need to show up this November in numbers so huge that victory cannot be denied.

If Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk all agree that we have to slow down - and now - something serious clearly happened with a frontier AI model. Journalists should be digging in to this. We aren’t getting the whole story here.

The RACISM & MISOGYNY of the Republican Party is absolutely out of control. I will never understand women who continue to vote against their own interests! Republican women are going to be pretty shocked when they’re kicked to the curb. Their Party doesn’t want their input. Why do they stay? 🤷‍♀️

For indigenous people, it’s been cancelled.
A picture of a plaque commemorating the “National Day of Mourning” which is what indigenous people call Thanksgiving.  The plaque reads:

“NATIONAL DAY OF MOURNING

Since 1970, Native Americans have gathered at noon on Cole’s Hill in Plymouth to commemorate a National Day of Mourning on the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday.  Many Native Americans do not celebrate the arrival of the Pilgrims and other European settlers.  To them, Thanksgiving Day is a reminder of the genocide of millions of their people, the theft of their lands, and the relentless assault on their culture.  Participants in National Day of Mourning honor Native ancestors and the struggles of Native peoples to survive today.  It is a day of remembrance and spiritual connection as well as a protest of the racism and oppression which Native Americans continue to experience.

Erected by the Town of Plymouth on behalf of the United American Indians of New England”

Who cares if his defense was “fiery”? Whether “critics” say it or not, this agreement appears to be significantly less effective than the JCPOA negotiated by President Obama. And what the heck is “even less” doing there? Obama’s deal was very good, and looks even better in retrospect.
By Eric L. Green, Zoltan Kanno-Youngs, Farnaz Fassihi, and Michael Levenson 
President Trump on Wednesday issued a fiery defense of his deal with Iran, lashing out at critics who has said the agreement achieves even less than the one President Barack Obama negotiated, and threatening to bomb Iran again if it doesn’t adhere to the agreement.

In 1990, I talked my boss out of invoking the War Powers resolution before Bush 41 went into Kuwait. But Trump's attack on Iran is a different kind of conflict, and Congress should rein in this exercise in unlimited war-making, as I wrote here: www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...
theatlantic.com
Trump Has Given America a Constitutional Dilemma
Congress should not have to argue over whether to trigger the War Powers Resolution, and certainly not in the midst of conflict.

This is a terrific way to think about this. Southern Baptists used to stand at the forefront of fighting for the separation of church and state and always portrayed Catholicism as the greatest menace to freedom in America, and then they just became what they feared.
