there's a nontrivial sense in which the function of Trump as a MAGA exemplar has been to make racial bigotry socially acceptable again
birtherism was more or less Trump's political debut, so it makes sense he'd circle back to the Obamas
usually when Trump does a racism it's to distract from something really bad, to get people talking about something else
this is unusually pungent racism even for Donald Trump

negative approval rating on all platforms except Twitter
the broad thermostatic response to ICE is hard to deny at this point
Trump's paramilitary immigration enforcement is strongly disliked
I spent a few hours yesterday gathering every major poll from the past week that asked about specific ICE reforms and enforcement practices. The results are captured in the chart below.
Each bar in the chart above shows net support for various reforms in the anti-ICE/pro-Democrat direction. So, for example, the bar labeled “Admin targeting all undo ented” at +28 comes from a Navigator Research poll that found 64% of voters think the Trump administration is targeting “all undo ented immigrants” vs 36% who think policy is focused on “serious criminals.” So that’s a 28-point margin for the Democratic position (that Trump has enacted a broad policy that’s not what Americans supported in 2024).
Some notable survey results: Quinnipiac University found in their Jan. 29 - Feb. 2 poll that 92% of registered voters support requiring ICE agents to wear body cameras. Five percent of people opposed the reform, so it’s at +87 on the chart.
The same Quinnipiac poll also found 80% support an independent investigation into the ICE/federal agent shootings that killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Jan. 2026. Just 15% opposed (that’s +75).
The Pew Research Center, in a survey conducted Jan. 20-26, found 74% of Americans say it is acceptable for civilians to record ICE officers while they are conducting operations. The same survey found 72% say it is unacceptable to stop people based solely on their appearance — a direct rebuke of racial profiling during enforcement.
Additionally, Navigator Research, in a poll conducted Jan. 29 through Feb. 1, found 66% of voters prefer a “balanced approach” to immigration over strict enforcement alone. And 65% said deportations should primarily target people with criminal convictions — not anyone who happens to lack do entation.
And finally, both Quinnipiac and Pew independently found that 61% of Americans oppose ICE agents wearing masks during operations.
Between 60% and 90% of Americans support most ICE reforms in this polling. Not just a majority, a supermajority of voters say they want transparency, accountability, rules, and oversight. That even includes a lot of Republicans, and a broad majority of political independents.
cool job market, inflationary pressures
Inflation pressures are building, driven by higher wages, higher commodity prices, and a weaker dollar... Torsten at Apollo

the corruption is getting hard for the conservative press to ignore, here's Andrew McCarthy admitting the UAE crypto bribe is orders of magnitude worse than anything alleged against Biden
