📉 Biden's approval rating has fallen to 38 percent after it had been hovering in the low 40s in recent polls.

President Biden's approval rating continued to sink in a new poll released on Sunday, following weeks of drama on Capitol Hill regarding his legislative agenda and the party's losses in Virginia on Tuesday.

The poll was conducted by USA Today and Suffolk University between Wednesday and Friday of last week, just before Democrats passed an infrastructure bill and advanced a social spending package.

💉 A Springfield School District 186 teacher who had been in defiance of a state mandate requiring teachers to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccinations or submit to weekly testing said she has informed the district that she is vaccinated.

"I didn't want to have to produce a vaccination card because I don't think that's legal or appropriate, but if you ask me to choose between my personal beliefs and my students, my students will win," Koen said.

What a twist!

🇺🇸 Former US President Donald Trump has denounced Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell over the infrastructure bill.

🔎 “Very sad that the RINOs in the House and Senate gave Biden and Democrats a victory on the ‘Non-Infrastructure’ Bill, where only 11% of the money being wasted goes to real infrastructure,” Trump said, adding that “Republicans who voted for Democrat longevity should be ashamed of themselves, in particular Mitch McConnell.”

“Those comments were wrong and I’m sorry,” Kempczinski said in the six-minute video. “I’m sorry I let you down. And I let myself down.”

In the text, Kempczinski referred to the shooting deaths of 13-year-old Adam Toledo, by Chicago police, and 7-year-old Jaslyn Adams while she was in a McDonald’s drive-thru. He called the shootings “tragic.” He then said, “Both the parents failed those kids, which is something you can’t say. Even harder to fix.”
