Swells from Isaias are affecting the western and northern portions of the Yucatan Peninsula and will spread northward toward the Gulf Coast on Friday. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Be sure to check the conditions for your area at weather.gov.
A regional coastal risk map centered on the Southeastern United States and the Gulf of Mexico. A red hurricane icon labeled "Isaias" is located in the Gulf of Mexico near $25^\circ\text{N}, 89^\circ\text{W}$.   Highlighted Coastal Risks:   High Risk (Red): Extends along the Florida Panhandle coastline toward Mobile Bay, and along the East Coast from East-Central Florida up through coastal Georgia.   Moderate Risk (Yellow): Stretches along South Florida near Miami, Southwest Florida below Tampa, and the South Carolina coast.   Low/No Data (Grey/White): Covers coastal Louisiana and Mississippi.

New Pew poll has Trump's approval at 30% (!) 68% of the country disapproves of him. Lowest in his second term, at January 6 levels. *31%* of Trump 2024 voters now disapprove of him.
Trump's approval rating continues to drop
Three-in-ten Americans now say they approve of Trump's handling of his job as president, while 68% disapprove - down 4 percentage points from July and his lowest approval rating of his second term.
Trump's approval rating drops to 30% - on par with his rating prior to leaving office in January 2021

*chart showing his sinking approval ratings, compared alongside his first term*

Much of this decline in his approval ratings over the course of his term is among Trump's own 2024 voters - 67% of validated Trump 2024 voters approve of his job performance today while 31% disapprove. At the beginning of his term, 95% approved.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.
