For the first time since the start of his second term, #Trump hit 50% #disapproval in #VoteHub's #polling #aggregation today. votehub.com/polls/

Presidents have come back from this. #Reagan bottomed out at something like 30% early in his first term, and then of course won re-election in a landslide. But Trump doesn't have that kind of political acumen.

If we have anything resembling a fair #election, 2026 will be a bloodbath, and I'm willing to bet 2028 as well. If we don't, well, it will be a bloodbath of a different kind.

The time has come to reassess the Ethical Information Group side-project which has kept the https://notizie.calomelano.it news aggregation service up and running for the last 8 years, and made it recently reach the milestones of 4 million aggregated articles and 46 GB of
