Rolling In The Years

CNN: So the the polling universe here is about 13 points more Republican than the overall population usually is. 38% said they had a very positive reaction to the speech 25% somewhat positive, 36% negative. How does that very positive number stack up against previous addresses? Well, look here it's about six percentage points lower than Donald Trump was at with the very positive score last year. He was at 44%.

Compared to previous presidents in this midterm year. So in 2026 this year, tonight 38% very positive reaction Joe Biden four years ago, 41% very positive reaction. That was the year Democrats lost control of the house. You see trump in 2018 was at 48% very positive when he, his party lost control of the house in his first term. So you see here again, Donald Trump is at the bottom of this
Ansari: My parents fled an authoritarian regime in Iran. They came to this country because America was supposed to be different. This country welcomed them. It allowed them to work hard and to build a better life. And in one generation, they watch their daughter become the first Iranian-American Democrat ever elected to Congress. That is the promise of America. And I refuse to let it be dismantled.
Smith: You’ve seen the searing images of what has happened in my state and in our country — people arrested, detained, and assaulted. The killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. You’ve seen the searing images of Liam Ramos and his dad ripped away from their home and sent off to Texas for no reason at all.

But I’m here to tell you: what you see in those pictures is only part of the story. What’s really happening is so much worse.

Once you get past the powerful documentation from eyewitness accounts in small towns across Minnesota, you realize this same thing is happening everywhere.

Restaurants have closed. People have lost their livelihoods because of this secret police that has attacked our state. Families are torn apart, and they may never be put back together again. The pain, the suffering, and the damage will last for a very long time. This is what Donald Trump and Kristi Noem are doing right now.

But we’ve also seen something else in Minnesota. People came out into their neighborhoods and stood up for people they didn’t even know. They brought diapers. They helped families get prescriptions. They gathered together out of pure love for their neighbors — even neighbors they had never met.
