As much as I want this to be true (well I'd rather him be losing in all polls), this is disinformation at this moment.

The poll they are referencing is this one: https://pro.morningconsult.com/trackers/2024-presidential-election-polling (Archive link)

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Trump maintains lead: Trump continues to lead Biden by 2 percentage points, 44% to 42%, unchanged from the previous week and superior to his standing in the lead-up to the first 2024 presidential debate, when the candidates were tied. The latest data was collected Friday through Sunday, meaning most responses were gathered before Saturday’s assassination attempt on Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.

Additionally, I don't see any polls listed out here either that have been able to do a complete poll since the assassination attempt:

The painting is protected by glass, so no damage was done to the painting.

I read through way too many articles that failed to mention this important detail.

Link inside this article, at least 94 people have died from sedatives when restrained by police from 2012 to 2021.

Would be interesting to note how many people have been given sedatives at all when restrained by police... averaging 9-10 deaths/year should definitely cause us to rethink the viability and even legality of this practice.

It was bad enough when Hertz was reporting tons of active rental cars as stolen and getting over 100 people arrested: https://www.inc.com/minda-zetlin/hertz-lawsuit-arrests-number-unsealed.html

Now we have to worry about Dealership loaners as well?!

Dispatchers should take note and start asking callers if the car is a rental/loaner... or in the case of Hertz, just ignoring their automated software reports entirely.

She wrote it in her own book

Sarah Matthews, another Trump aide turned opponent, said: “When I saw tweets about Kristi Noem murdering her puppy, I thought to myself, ‘Damn, one of the other VP contenders’ teams found some oppo,’ until I realized SHE wrote about it in HER book.

“I’m not sure why anyone would brag about this unless they’re sick and twisted.”

The dog was 14 months old

The Guardian revealed Noem’s story, which is contained in a book out next month. In No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward, Noem describes her frustrations with Cricket, a 14-month-old wirehair pointer who Noem says ruined a pheasant hunt and killed a neighbouring family’s chickens.

“I hated that dog,” Noem writes, saying Cricket was “untrainable … dangerous” and “less than worthless … as a hunting dog”.

“At that moment,” Noem says, “I realised I had to put her down.”

Noem describes taking Cricket to a gravel pit on her farm and shooting her. Remarkably, Noem then describes how she also chose to kill an unruly, unnamed, un-castrated goat, first botching the job then finishing the animal off with a third shotgun shell.

Income up to $50k untaxed.

I wouldn't set a hard number value for this. Make it based on how low income is defined, or something dynamic that can change over the years with inflation.

For example, in parts of California you could be making $80k and you would still be considered low income because of how expensive it is just to live there. After paying for housing, there won't be much left over.
