Former President Barack Obama is viewed positively by 57% of Americans, a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS finds, far surpassing the ratings for his two Oval Office successors. Only 34% of the public offers a favorable opinion of President Donald Trump, with former President Joe Biden's favorability trailing at just 30%. cnn.it/4uImeIc

@mariashriver @amyklobuchar You have lived a rich privileged life and never donated your wealth. You are just jealous there’s someone richer than you. This man was sleeping on friends couch’s just a decade ago, what you’ll really hate is new money. You think wealth belongs to your family and snob friends

I’ve been thinking about this, actually every American should be thinking about this. @amyklobuchar

With $300 billion, we could end homelessness, fund cancer research for 40 years, and give every child free pre-K for over 7 years. Instead, Trump is sending it to Iran. This is not America First. Not even close.

Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter
P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.

America keeps telling Black people to trust the system, respect the verdicts, and accept whatever the courts decide. The problem is we’ve been watching who gets the benefit of the doubt.
Kyle Rittenhouse crossed state lines with an AR-15, inserted himself into a volatile situation, killed two people, and was acquitted. Donald Trump later welcomed him to Mar-a-Lago for photo ops and praise.
Daniel Penny placed Jordan Neely in a chokehold until he died. Jordan Neely never touched Penny. Penny was acquitted and later celebrated by Donald Trump and J.D. Vance as a hero.
Meanwhile, Karmelo Anthony, a Black teenager involved in a confrontation with a larger white student who initiated the physical encounter, claimed self-defense and was sentenced to 35 years in prison, more time than former white police officers Derek Chauvin and Amber Guyger got for the murders of George Floyd and Botham Jean combined.
That’s why many Black Americans are not interested in lectures about “self-defense,” “respecting the verdict,” or “trusting the law” from people who applauded Rittenhouse, celebrated Penny, defended George Zimmerman, raised money for Derek Chauvin, and still make excuses for Amber Guyger.
The pattern is impossible to ignore.
When a white person kills a Black person, we’re told to understand the fear, consider the circumstances, extend grace, and give the benefit of the doubt.
When a Black person kills a white person, suddenly there is no grace, no nuance, no context, and no benefit of the doubt.
Don’t tell us the system is colorblind when we’ve watched the same people cheer one verdict and rage against another based almost entirely on who was holding the weapon and who ended up dead.
The issue isn’t whether America believes in self-defense. The issue is whose self-defense America is willing to believe.
