Republicans Are Feeling the Summer Time Blues The American right’s views of the U.S. economy deteriorated significantly over the past month. Survey results released by YouGov and the Economist on Tuesday showed that only 43 percent of Trump voters describe the economy as good or excellent, down from 51 percent a month ago. Most of that decline has come from people who had described the state of the economy as good moving into the group that describes the economy as “only fair.” We can see similar movements in the other ways YouGov slices up the electorate. The share of self-identified conservatives who…

When Democrats lose elections, their first thought is to destroy the Constitution and our current system of government. Their second thought is to import tens of millions of Third World Democrats (but that’s for another story). Pack the Supreme Court, abolish the U.S. Senate, and now get something called “proportional representation.” “A new poll, commissioned by supporters of election reforms and shared with NPR, shows there is significant support for upending winner-take-all U.S. House elections and single-member congressional districts,” reports the far-left NPR approvingly. What people supposedly want instead is proportional representation, which is “a system that elects multiple representatives in a single…

Democratic lawmakers are readying aggressive oversight of Paramount Skydance’s bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, and Paramount’s top lawyer said Tuesday the company is “happy to cooperate.” “We’re not naive to know that politics does not exist,” Paramount Chief Legal Officer Makan Delrahim said. “We’re not shocked about that. We’ll be happy to cooperate and really engage with Republicans and Democrats about any issue and aspect. This merger is actually going to be good not only for California, it’ll be good for America.” Paramount has been “transparent” and responsive to lawmaker’s concerns,” Delrahim — who served as Trump’s antitrust chief…

Francesca Hong’s team is making press credentials for reporters at her election night party using sharpies and masking tape after quickly running out of printed passes for media — an example of her insurgent campaign’s remarkable rise despite extremely limited resources. Hong, who in campaign speeches this week has described herself as a “long shot” and “wild card” candidate, is polling far ahead of David Crowley, who had been endorsed by the sitting Democratic governor, Tony Evers. Hong sailed to the lead despite a massive fundraising disadvantage and a team that largely lacks experience working on a campaign this high…

Wiki Commons New Premier flip-flopping on the issue, accused of throwing his Justice Secretary ‘under the bus’. In Britain, we’ve come to the point where ‘all the top police officers in the country’ are calling for constable Andrew Harper’s killers to stay behind bars. In the meantime, Prime Minister Andy Burnham is under heavy criticism for appearing to every day have a different opinion on this issue.

Typhoon Dolphin made landfall in China on Sunday, held together better than meteorologists were expecting, and pushed inland, bringing heavy rains and flooding to central China and raising severe weather alerts in the national capital of Beijing. As the storm advanced, Chinese Communist Party censors worked furiously to delete “flood-related rumors” that were alleged generated with artificial intelligence (A.I.). Typhoon Dolphin is the strongest tropical cyclone to strike China this year, with rains and wind well above the standards for a Category 1 hurricane. Heavy rain has been a particular concern, as the storm made landfall in the eastern Zhejiang…

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) wants super PACs banned from having a hand in Democrat primary elections, namely the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). Sanders is calling on Democrat leaders to enact a ban after AIPAC spent money to try and defeat far-left U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D-MI) as the November midterms approach, the Hill reported Sunday. The senator has thrown his support behind El-Sayed, a Muslim whom Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed “represents the politics of the future” for America. Sanders addressed the issue in a recent letter to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), House Minority Leader…

Hotly contested Democratic primaries in a pair of Upper Midwestern states tonight will test a half dozen Democrats eyeing 2028 presidential bids who have endorsed on opposite sides of key races. Endorsements have been a major way for Democratic leaders and wannabes to try to shape the party in their image and get key allies in positions of power, at a time when contentious primaries have laid bare the party’s generational and ideological differences. The results have started to reveal whose endorsement has power — and which potential future presidential candidates have a pulse on the party’s base right now.…

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the radical socialist from New York’s 14th District and face of the Squad, has quietly split from her longtime fiancé Riley Roberts, according to multiple reports. TMZ reported the breakup Tuesday, citing Puck’s Chief Washington Correspondent Leigh Ann Caldwell, who first learned from a Democratic source about 18 months ago that the engagement was over. Multiple Capitol Hill sources told TMZ the pair have not been seen together publicly in ages. Their last known public photograph together was at the 2021 Met Gala, the same event where AOC wore her infamous “Tax the Rich” dress and where…
