My latest, from aboard the "Lil Jake" deep in the coastal marsh: An electric co-op is abandoning a community of fishing camps--the first such case in the U.S. With climate change and land loss shifting the terrain of south Louisiana, who might be next? #tncms-source=featured-top.amp.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nola.com/news/louisiana…

Reporter: Deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure violate the Geneva conventions and international law.  Trump: Who are you with?  Reporter: I'm with the New York Times Trump: Failing New York Times. Circulation is way down. Reporter: Are you concerned that your threat to bomb power plants and bridges amount to war crimes? Trump: No, not at all. These are disturbed people. Quiet. You no longer have credibility. You’re fake.

A steady fall into the abyss for Trump's net approval, as it falls into Death Valley. He's now at a term 2 low: -18 pts. Big reason why: Independents. Trump's at -45 pts. The worst for any prez at this point in term 2. Worse than Nixon (-36 pts) at the height of Watergate!

Struggling companies don't make $8.5B in profit & they don't issue massive rebates. Big insurance is not being crushed by an “oppressive environment” in Louisiana. Louisiana families are being crushed by unaffordable insurance rates. #LaLege #LaGov realreformla.com/big-insurance-…
