Biden is the most unpopular president ever at this point in his term.
There are a lot of explanations for this BESIDES actions of the president: Polarization, ideological > party ID among progressives, inflation and gas prices etc.
But this is where the numbers stand today:
We’re going to need another season of The Crown.

What if Boris Johnson refuses to resign?

This is all smoke. What “privilege” does a Senator have to refuse to answer questions about his own actions? If @LindseyGrahamSC@twitter.com is just a witness, why is he not eager to share what he knows?
Journalists have started saying Lindsey Graham called Raffensperger just to “inquire” about something. That’s absurd. Senators have staff for that. Graham called Raffensperger to apply pressure. He wanted him to discard mail-in ballots from certain counties.
In this case it’s a fine map and a terrible country.

Turning police into soldiers corrupts policing. But they’re still no match for one madman with an AR-15.
How does this embarrassment remain online, @nytimes@twitter.com?
MOST American women mourned the SCOTUS ruling.
For A DWINDLING FEW it is a triumph.
These are facts. Fewer young women oppose abortion rights than ever before.

The New York Times is deeply committed to misleading you.
“All your life you live so close to truth, it becomes a permanent blur in the corner of your eye, and when something nudges it into outline it is like being ambushed by a grotesque.”
Happy Birthday, Tom.

Did they ever find that Supreme Court leaker? They’ve gotten very quiet about it.
It’s not that the Court is “conservative.” It is radical and destabilizing. With a razor-thin (and illegitimate) minority, it is grabbing power and reversing centuries of precedent,

Corruption staring us right in the face & it’s totally normalized. Failed coup leader who installed illegitimate judges is taken seriously as a 2024 candidate. Those emails, tho.
You know how they say the cover-up is worse than the crime? Not when the crime is seditious conspiracy.

It turns out “we took different views on the topic” was a euphemism for “he lunged for my throat and tried to commandeer the vehicle.”
