Support from women boosts Biden to another year-high approval rating: poll

Support from women boosts Biden to another year-high approval rating: poll

President Biden’s approval rating has hit a year-high in the third poll this week, driven largely by an increase in support from female voters.

An Emerson College poll released Friday found 45 percent of voters said they approve of Biden’s performance, a 3-point increase since last month, while 49 percent disapprove, a two-point decrease.

Gaetz Gets A Pass, For Now.

Prosecutors will not recommend charging GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz in the Justice Department's investigation into if the Florida congressman violated federal sex-trafficking laws, according to The Washington Post.

Citing anonymous sources, The Post reported that prosecutors were concerned with the credibility of two key witnesses and think they'd be unlikely to secure a conviction if they indicted Gaetz. Justice Department officials typically take the advice of career prosecutors but haven't made a final decision on the matter yet, the report said

The problem with DOJ’s approach to the Gaetz case is you don’t cooperate a horrible person like Joel Greenberg *unless and until* you know for sure you can and will rely on his testimony. To flip Greenberg and decide later that he’s unusable is atrocious prosecutorial practice. - Elie Honig

In fairness - 

Matt Gaetz, 

who is totally innocent of 

sex trafficking of minors, 

tried to get a pardon 

for his sex trafficking of minors. - John Fugelsang
