Europe is still a peace project. We don't have bros or oligarchs making the rules. We don't invade our neighbours, and we don't punish them. The West as we knew it no longer exists," von der Leyen has declared amid rapidly deteriorating relations with the [US] under Trump, which has forced Europe to look elsewhere for allies and partners."

I've always heard we're supposed to get 8 hours of sleep per night. How much sleep do you normally get?

I get around 4 hours of sleep per night on average. Usually fall asleep around 2 and wake up at 6.

In your experience, which of these breaks apps/websites the most? (For example, the app freezes or crashes.)

The second half of Charlie Sykes' latest newsletter goes into polling released today. As Jay Kuo has noted of legacy polling methods, they're like a broken thermometer that can't tell you the exact temperature but can tell you whether it's getting hotter or colder. Trends within the same flawed data still make sense to watch, and the trend clearly shows support peeling off from Trump due to his chaotic handling of the economy.

12 Small Reasons for Modest Hope -Robert Reich

“…The Solicitor General’s office is expected to lose at least half of its 16 assistant lawyers because of their concerns about Trump’s Justice Department. It’s an unusual exodus that raises questions about the Trump regime’s ability to win arguments at the Supreme Court (full disclosure: I used to work in the Solicitor General’s office)...”

GOP Congress critter Greg Steube (MAGA-Florida Man) yelled "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus!" at Holy Mike Johnson during a GOP House caucus meeting. (This actually happened, see article.)

National and Quebec polls March 23 (start of #elxn45) to April 7.

I've changed the time series to only be since the Election was called on March 23 so we can see how things have changed... or not.

National: All parties remaining near where they have been since campaign start. Will anything push these numbers?

Quebec: Pretty much the same but the one thing you can say for sure is the Liberals have come off their very high highs of 50% and are now back down to Earth, but there is still a significant lead over the Bloc and CPC.

The NDP bumps around in the doldrums under 10%. The Green and PPC vote are nearly irrelevant.

These are reported at 338canada.com
They are the raw poll numbers, not seat projections.
National polls are only those rated "A" by 338canada.
Quebec are all polls.
