Yesterday, Gallup released a new poll that shows Trump's job approval cratering, down to 39% for the week ending June 4. "His current level of approval," they wrote, "would make another term as president unlikely, given the historical relationship between job approval ratings and incumbent reelection. With five months to go before Election Day, there is still time for those ratings to improve and get back near the 50% level associated with incumbent reelection in the past, but also time for them to get worse and give the president even longer odds of winning a second term."

Jamie Hartmann-Boyce at The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Jamie Hartmann-Boyce* *Health, * When the new coronavirus arrived in early 2020, people with asthma were identified as being at higher risk from the disease. When the new coronavirus arrived in early 2020, people with asthma were identified as being at higher risk from the disease.

Given that asthma is a lung disease and COVID-19 targets the lungs, it made sense that people with asthm... more »

J.M. Opal at The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*J.M. Opal* *History, Americas* What can America’s situation in 1807 tell us about its crisis today? In the face of mass protests against anti-Black policing and racism in the United States, President Donald Trump first dialed the country back to 1967 by tweeting an old quote from the surly police chief of Miami, who made it known to the activists of that era that “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.” Now, Trump looks to a much older way to threaten the protesters — the Insurrection Act of 1807, which empowers the president to use U.S. military forces on U.S. soil.

Domestic Violence and Child Abuse Cases are More Prevalent in Lockdown

*Siddhartha Bandyopadhyay, Eddie Kane, Joht Singh Chandan* *Society, * Although no published studies have tracked the national trends in domestic violence related to COVID-19, several indicators point to a marked increase during this period. Crimes in the home are hard to detect unless victims or family members report them. Both domestic violence and child maltreatment are widely under-reported. This means they tend not to be investigated by the authorities, and many victims don’t get the support they need. The costs of such violence are considerable. Our research shows that vic... more »
