As President Donald Trump's job approval sinks to or below 40% (depending on which poll you're looking at), betting markets and political conventional wisdom are that his Republican Party is not necessarily doomed to lose its narrow House majority, nor is it at serious risk of losing its Senate majority.
Young people now blame capitalism for poverty, racism, high prices, even climate change.
Power unused is power surrendered. That’s the reality Senate Republicans now face.

Knowingly or not, President Donald Trump, in his decision to attack Iran, has embarked on a foreign policy that has been, on and off, both persistent and controversial in the great English-speaking nations. You can trace it back at least to the Glorious Revolution of 1688-89: the ouster of King James II of England and his replacement by his son-in-law and nephew William, Prince of Orange, and his daughter Mary, as William III and Mary II.
— In addition to formalizing nine ratings changes in Florida following the state adopting a new Republican gerrymander, we also are making eight other changes.
— These come in some states that were at the center of Tuesday night’s electoral action: Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana, with others coming in Minnesota, North Carolina, and Texas.
— The Florida changes, on balance, help the GOP bottom line in the House, while the other changes benefit Democrats.
— Our overall House ratings show 213 districts rated as Safe, Likely, or Leans Democratic, 207 rated Safe, Likely, or Leans Republican, and 15 rated as Toss-ups.
Data centers are big buildings full of machines that process what we do on our phones and computers.
Are America's college students doing to themselves what the Chinese Communist state does to its citizens?

Hypocrisy was triumphant, as it usually is in arguments over redistricting, in Virginia this week, as voters approved a "fairness" constitutional amendment allowing the Democratic-majority legislature to enact a congressional districting plan that is expected to increase Democrats' edge in its congressional delegation from 6-5 to 10-1. This is a state that former Vice President Kamala Harris carried over then-candidate Donald Trump by a 52% to 46% margin.
— Virginia voters on Tuesday evening approved a new Democratic U.S. House gerrymander.
— As a result, we are moving four House ratings in favor of Democrats.
— The new Virginia map is not completely set, though, as the Supreme Court of Virginia could still revert to the old map if it finds that Virginia Democrats did not follow proper procedure in presenting this constitutional amendment to voters.

"Dignity" is just another word for "amnesty" in an ill-conceived law now being pushed by a Miami-area Republican congresswoman.
You aren't going to believe the latest lawsuit fad in America: suing companies as monopolistic for cutting prices to consumers. In legal mumbo jumbo, this is called "predatory pricing" -- keeping prices lower than charged by competitors. The idea is to keep prices so low that rival firms can't compete. Quick, throw Walmart, Home Depot and McDonald's in jail.
