The drop to 31% among independents is especially interesting, since most "independents" are partisans who are just precious about "labels." About 46% of "independents" voted for Trump. So a 15 point loss with that group in a few short months is significant. www.cnn.com/2025/04/27/p...

Folks, this is a scam. The GOP is helping Elon Musk and his friends loot the federal government and give themselves billions in federal contracts—and then wants to give them permanent tax breaks on the back end by cutting critical programs. Let's call it what it is: a scam on the American people.

So now they're not just refusing to hold townhalls. They're apparently demanding people keep their office number a secret.
