As President Trump marks 100 days back in office, new polls show his approval rating around 40%, the lowest rating for the first 100 days of any presidency in 80 years. A Washington Post-ABC News poll found that even fewer people trust the Democratic Party, with nearly 7 in 10 saying it is “out of touch,” while 6 in 10 say Trump is “out of touch.”
As DOGE also marks 100 days of gutting the federal government, a new Senate report finds Elon Musk and his businesses could avoid over $2 billion in potential legal liability, thanks to cuts Musk enacted as head of DOGE. When Trump was inaugurated, Musk was facing up to 65 actions from 11 federal agencies targeting SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, The Boring Company and xAI. Senate Democrats now say Musk has largely averted those actions, thanks to DOGE helping him “evade oversight, derail investigations, and make litigation disappear whenever he so chooses — on his terms and at his command.”
