Trump's approval is 32%.
The 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly. American strength and resolve is back. 🇺🇸

Watch Xi in comparison. It’s not that loud, but Trump’s brain does not filter input correctly anymore due to his worsening frontotemporal dementia. The sound made his nervous system go into full overload—which registers as pain. Note the glove. It is not cold. Sad.

From optoceutics.com (the study of neurodegenerative diseases) -- If the temporal lobes are damaged, "sounds may sound louder or more intense. Cognitive decline also makes it harder to absorb noises, which can make familiar sounds seem strange or even dangerous."

"Nearing" is such a flexible term... When you were at zero and are now about 15, yes, you are "nearing" the pre-conflict level of 125. @TimSheehyMT And yes, "empty" are such appropriate state initials for flim-flam like this.

Here's another of the great-fun "European Reacts" videos by André from Portugal, with his ever-enthusiastic wife Sara, who LOVE America. In this, after 3 years of videos, they finally make it to America! This is a montage of their trip. They're in heaven. elisbergindustries.com/blog/…

Great point by excellent @JustinWolfers. He notes Trump ordered "economic D-Day" to destroy Iran's economy by preventing Iran from exporting energy. But Trump just said he wants to get the U.S. to stop exporting energy! "That's kind of bonkers, right?" rawstory.com/trump-economy-2…

Boy, is this bizarrely tone deaf. You KNOW Hunter Biden was a private citizen. KNOW he was heavily by the House. KNOW you supported that! And you KNOW Trump Jr. is son of the president - & has govt contracts - so him getting a huge money gift from a Russian oligarch MATTERS.
The Senate is still sitting on the SAVE America Act, reconciliation 3.0, Clarity Act, and hundreds of good conservative House bills that need to be passed. Now just mere days before leaving town, some senators want to waste time creating a new Russia hoax and attacking Don Jr. Don Jr is a private citizen and businessman so this unwarranted attack will go nowhere. This partisan distraction is NOT what the American people voted for!

Your party controls the House, Senate and White House. Trump's approval is 32%. Two-third's of the American public isn't buying what you're desperately trying to sell.
Democrats first RAISED your costs for FOUR YEARS and now do NOT care about lowering costs. Last week, Senate Democrats BLOCKED common sense legislation that passed the House to prevent hardworking American families from footing the bill for data centers and AI infrastructure. Democrat obstruction driven by their Trump Derangement Syndrome has actively made life harder for American families.

For those who don't watch the video, the Boston Globe reported that Trump's DOJ lawyer Michael Velchik wrote a college essay from Hitler’s perspective (and then told to redo the assignment). The paper also reported that Velchik called Hitler’s "Mein Kampf" as his favorite book.
Extremely disturbing news about the lawyer defending Donald Trump’s media ban. Watch this sitting down, and please help spread the word. youtube.com/shorts/veF5dzjd_…

I just want to say that I truly appreciate your continued willingness to speak in the face of increasingly intolerable and dangerous conditions. Thank you for stepping up to the plate.

Raiders star Maxx Crosby DEFENDS Caleb Williams and sends his full support in his latest podcast 👀 “I’ve had one hammy thing a while back. That sh*t will freak you the f**k out when it first happens…so in his head, you’d imagine oh sh*t. Something really bad just happened and you have all these emotions and things going on….we send love to Caleb and we know he’ll bounce back.” 🎥: @TheRushWithMaxx

"‘I am the code’: Trump clashed with ballroom architect over safety issues" The architect resigned after warning that Trump was insisting on designs violating fire & safety codes. IF the ballroom is ever completed, it might be a good idea to avoid it. wapo.st/4hk45vL

Yesterday, the new American Research Group poll had Trump approval at 29%. Whether this is an outlier or not, it's in the range of most polls (many that have his approval at 32-33%), and it shows a *consistent* decline over the past 6 months. Here's more: elisbergindustries.com/blog/…

This may be true. But I hope people realize, too, the cost of healthcare benefits might save some lives, won't be used to trick people into believing things that are false, won't give wrong information, won't direct bombs that will mistakenly kill 200 school girls...and more.
I hope people realize that for the foreseeable future, the cost of healthcare benefits will get more people fired, or not hired, than AI

Ladies and gentlemen, here is MAGOP campaign strategy in a nutshell. (Pretty close to literally.) This is the kind of thing you post weeks before an election when the public hates your party's policies, you have nothing else, your leader has a 32% approval, & you're desperate.
Is Kamala taller than Abdul? 🤔

It turns out that @johnthune is unable to read polls. Very surprising for the MAGOP Senate Majority Leader. Though maybe he's just in contact with his rich donors who invest in the stock market. That said, it seems that referring to "Republican policy" is a bad idea right now.
Thune: The American people have more money their pockets as a result of Republican policy.

REMINDER: Trump's approval is 32%.
REMINDER: Every single Democrat voted AGAINST: ➡️ Lower Taxes ➡️ No Tax on Tips ➡️ No Tax on Overtime ➡️ Lower Prescription Drug Prices ➡️ Trump Accounts, tax-advantaged investment accounts for children ➡️ DOUBLING the child tax credit ➡️ Keeping men OUT of women's sports

Ted Cruz gains shows his utter desperation & states his awareness how badly his party will do in the Mid-Terms, flailing in hopes to "terrify" people, which is all he & the MAGOP have. A party that has become fascist by every book definition of the word. Trump's approval is 32%.
America-hating radicals are taking over the Democrat Party. I think the two most dangerous Democrat nominees in the country are Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan and James Talarico here in Texas. Talarico is an extreme left-winger who has said he wants to dismantle capitalism, and yet last quarter he raised $27 million. They’re flooding Texas with cash.

This is extremely bad.
New: hackers say they have data on all FBI employees and spouses. I got a sample of 5,000 alleged employees, including name, physical address, phone number, and in some cases spouses. Could be a massive national security and counterintelligence risk 404media.co/we-hacked-the-fb…
