Since 1990 when the @WSJ began polling, no president has been as unpopular as Trump is at this point before a midterm election. His 37% approval is lower than Clinton, Bush or Obama had before big midterm defeats. www.wsj.com/politics/ele...

Trump Is Predicting Midterms Success but Republicans Are Starting to Panic

The president’s approval rating drops to 37% in a WSJ poll, the lowest of any president heading into a midterm election in Journal polls dating to 1990.

The No Kings coalition wants everyone who is able to vote early. They will be preparing people to do so on October 17th, but early voting has already started in some states. If you are physically able & your state has early voting, please consider doing it for any of the good reasons listed below.

WHY VOTING EARLY MATTERS:
1. AVOID LONG LINES, AVOID LINES CAST YOUR BALLOT AND BE DONE.
2. RESOLVE REGISTRATION ISSUES. GIVES TIME TO CLEAR UP ANY ISSUES WITH YOUR STATUS.
3. HELP GOTV EFFORTS. ENABLES GET OUT THE VOTE TO FOCUS RESOURCES WHERE NEEDED MOST.
4. BANK YOUR VOTE. SECURE IT FROM LAST-MINUTE ILLNESSES, BAD WEATHER, OR OTHER SHENANIGANS.
5. REDUCE CAMPAIGNS MAIL. HELP CAMPAIGNS REMOVE YOU FROM TARGET LISTS, REDUCING UNWANTED OUTREACH.
7. PROTECT THE VOTE!! VOLUNTEER ON ELECTION DAY, HAVING ALRE3ADY SECURED YOUR OWN VOTE.
6. BUILD MOMENTUM. STRONG EARLY VOTE CREATES MOMENTUM THT IS “TOO BIG TO RIG” VOTE.ORG

When Trump and Hegseth kicked the press corps out of the Pentagon, that coverage got better, from what I can tell. Sure, I bet there are things now missed as a result. But the press is meant to be adversarial and when we get feisty, we do our best work.

This is interesting because it challenges two widely held political assumptions: 1) that people love it when everything at the supermarket is at least $8.99 and 2) that the easiest way to win voters over is to go on TV every day and say that you need to build a big event space or you'll die.

Today is a reminder that except for a brief period running roughly from Brown v. Board to Roe v. Wade, throughout its history the Supreme Court has been a reactionary force protecting the wealth of the wealthy and the power of the powerful, almost always hostile to equality and justice.

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.

Young adult happiness is falling. Percent of young people who are pretty or very happy has dropped from 88% to 76% over the last 15 years after having held fairly steady between 1980 and 2010
