Polls show Trump is unpopular

In our new poll with @verasight.bsky.social, immigration dominated the news for July, overshadowing economic issues. But despite Trump's positive numbers on border security, he's underwater on immigration and deportations — approval down to just 43%. Full poll http://www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d…

Republicans want to gerrymander Texas again to undermine fair elections

They can’t even wait until 2030 when most states revise their districts.

Dems hold minorities in both Texas chambers. But, as promised, they're already doing what they can to delay and obstruct Republican efforts to steal the next election.www.texastribune.org/2025/07/21/t…

NEW: The seeming contradiction raises new questions about the decision by the state’s GOP leaders to conduct a rare mid-decade redistricting — which came after pressure from the Trump White House, as it looks to boost the GOP in next year’s midterms. http://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/…

The Netanyahu debate at my alma mater

I graduated from Cheltenham High School in 1971. I am very opposed to Netanyahu’s policies.

Cheltenham School District officials & alumni association members met Friday & discussed a student petition to remove Bibi Netanyahu from the Hall of Fame, but didn’t make a decision.“Given the complexities involved & the heightened public discourse, we must proceed in a deliberate manner.”

You’re assuming Trump obeys laws. He has shown repeatedly that he will break or ignore the law. He’s a convicted felon. I expect Democrats to be favored to win the House in 2026. I expect Trump to try to oppose that by preventing or invalidating elections or declaring a bogus emergency.

Trump is, again, attempting to do what he couldn't in 2020.Abuse the power of gov't to rig an election in his favor.But this isn't about 2020. It's a test run for 2026 and 2028.apnews.com/article/trum…

ESPN on the top 10 Orioles prospects

Orioles new Org ranks.No Esteban Mejia in his top 10.

— Bird's Eye View – An Orioles Podcast (@birdseyeviewbal.bsky.social) 2025-07-17T20:09:57.766Z

This list was made after the 2025 draft. The Orioles had seven early picks and a record money allotment and got good reviews for their selections.

I think Basallo will join the major league roster in August or September. I think Beavers will get a promotion too, maybe sooner depending on who the Orioles trade.
