    Trump Flees Supreme Court in Rage as Justices Rebuke Him to His Face

    Trump made history at the Supreme Court today—but not the kind he wanted. He became the first sitting president to attend oral argument… and the first to storm out when even “his” conservative justices hammered his administration’s attack on birthright citizenship.

    Trump Suffers Catastrophic New Low with Ghastly Numbers

    As Trump runs and hides at the US Supreme Court today to "look presidential,"  Popok reports on new CNN polling, matching Fox, that  the people are rejecting his presidency and that Trump has lost the under 45 Republican vote and the Republican vote overall on his mishandling of the economy, with him dropping 23 points since January with key republicans, and with 70 percent of American reporting that they are watching a failed presidency and economy.  Can the democrats as the party out of power, capitalize on these developments and drive home a message of how life will be better under a Democratic-controlled government?
