Michael, One complaint I’ve had with your polls is that they are often only provide strict binary choices for questions that don’t easily fit such Procrustean restrictions. Today’s poll perfectly illustrates this point, per my previous comment.

Sure, if it is provided for free to every citizen by the government. Otherwise, it’s a poll tax.

The dearth of information in the mainstream media about Trump’s health is because litigation is very expensive.

Ah. Ok.

Why use Signal for classified and other discussions?

So they don’t have to follow laws about data retention and transparency.

Why is it that when media talks about the U.N. non-binding resolution condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, they always list how the U.S. sided with Russia, North Korea, and other “Axis of Evil” countries but fail to mention another dissenting country: Israel?

🚨 BREAKING: After torpedoing yesterday’s meeting with Zelensky, JD Vance fled to Vermont for vacation—only to be met by hundreds of furious protesters.

CNN interviews talking heads about whether or not Zelenskyy’s query to Vance was an “insult” and “disrespectful”.

Why is the media parsing yesterday’s shocking and deeply disgraceful ambush of Zelenskyy as a normal event?

This photo is fascinating to me for two reasons: 1. Vance, hoping to be the true inheritor of chaos, being a complete clone of Trump down to the length of that blood red tie, and 2. Marco Rubio’s body language speaking volumes with his closed, dejected posture and his sad dog expression.

Ok, let’s see…an avocado from Mexico costs us $1 before Trump’s 25% tariff and $1.25 after.

Republicans now want to offset tax cuts for the very rich using Trump’s tariffs.

How is this not a tax on consumers to benefit the outrageously wealthy?
