Does Trump "have a clear plan for handing the situation in Iran?" Americans saying yes went from 40% around the start, to 33%, and now 25%. Terrible numbers (deservedly so). For reference: Support for GW Bush on the Iraq war began over 70% by some measures, and fell to ~45% by the end of 2003.

Trump's ban on MSNOW, CNN, and Politico is not only part of the autocratic playbook, but the timing is no coincidence. Trump is well in the autocratic backfire process, thus, entire media outlets he sees as threats must be banished. This is a moment of reckoning for America.

The Trump administration just granted the Trump family's cryptocurrency venture preliminary approval for a federal banking charter. That gives the company new powers and credibility—and it's the most egregious way we've seen Trump's business benefit from his presidency to date.
