Here's the dramatic improvement of Republicans' opinion of Vladimir Putin in 2016. As with anti-Canada sentiment now, the unmistakable main cause of the change is Trump. I think of these examples when pundits claim politicians can't change public opinion so they must follow wherever it already is.
Graph of Economist/YouGov polling in 2016 on Americans' favorability of Vladimir Putin. Shows Republican approval of Putin leap up in mid and late 2016.

I reported this for Quartz in 2020: qz.com/1909779/is-a...
Subhead: It crashes educations

Not being able to have an abortion can derail the career of a teen girl by severely interrupting her education, which can limit her career choices and bring down her income potential for the rest of her life. Teen girls who give birth before the age of 19 significantly reduce their chances of completing high school, from nearly 90% down to slightly more than 50%, according to a 2010 report by Child Trends, a non-partisan research organization that looked at a national sample of nearly 9,000 youth over a 10-year period. 

Because educational attainment is so closely tied to income earnings in the US, girls who can’t have an abortion are more likely to end up in a low-skilled job and contribute less to the economy in general. They will pay less income taxes, spend and save less, and likely need more social assistance.

Yet another issue where every single person who touched it needs to end up in jail for us to have any semblance of the rule of law. You cannot have a functional democracy where the government creates a plan to literally throw away votes from places that don't support the incumbent party.

Children are not property. The law should not allow parents to treat their children as property — so long as it is in the name of religion. Oregon used to make that error. Oregon changed the law decades ago, fewer children have been tortured to death by the Follower cult.

No one working for a trillion-dollar company should live in poverty. When massive corporations refuse to pay a living wage, taxpayers foot the bill through public assistance. We are subsidizing their record profits so the elites can buy another election.

Welp, there it is. The CDC is now officially manipulating data and their count of measles deaths in 2026 now stands at ZERO. My understanding of reportable diseases is that the CDC would usually use a state health department’s determination as the final say. The new CDC Director is failing us.
