Barack Obama remains the most popular political figure in America, with 55-60% favorability.
Hard to get that many Americans to agree on anything.

Did something right.
Why are the 2026 fights over redistricting so much different than typical partisan gerrymandering?
I have an explainer.
Trump's demands to create new maps ahead of the midterms to escape accountability at the ballot box are what put us in uncharted territory.
From me.
Trump's National Guard surge violently detains U.S. citizen—for holding a sign.
She was standing on her own front porch.
3 soldiers block her from entering her home—tackle her to ground.
"Help! Help! You're breaking my arm!"
she cries.
"You came onto my property—you have no authority to detain me!"
Trump Administration announced a "surge" in the number of National Guard and ICE agents in DC to at least 5,000 last month.
On at least three additional occasions in the last two weeks, National Guard soldiers have handcuffed and detained people in DC.
This footage was submitted to FilmThePoliceDC on June 2.
Incident occurred in the Truxton Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C.

Ainsley Earhardt said she was shocked to hear that homeless people were sometimes next to multi-million dollar homes in Los Angeles. She said this while reporting from New York City where homeless people often live next to extremely expensive real estate.
Harry Enten: There seems to be a rural revolt going on in this country against Donald Trump. He's now 14 points underwater. That's an over 30-point switcheroo. He is 19 points underwater with rural voters on inflation. That is an over 50-point switch.
@JoJoFromJerz Reminds me of when during #SCOTUS oral arguments Justice Sotomayor asked if a #POTUS can seek money in exchange for a pardon… (*she knew what was coming if the Court granted Trump immunity).
"Weiss was installed at CBS News as a compliant mouthpiece for the Trump-allied Ellisons, who bought Paramount and now need government approval for a merger that would also hand them control of CNN." - Brian Tyler Cohen https://t.co/1IMsLgXYAz
