New York CNN  —  A powerful force is dominating the Trump economy: fear. About two-thirds (66%) of adults say they are pessimistic or afraid about the economy, according to new findings from a CNN/SSRS poll released Monday. Just 34% say they feel enthusiastic or optimistic. The overwhelming majority – 69% – consider an economic recession in the next year to be at least somewhat likely, including 32% who say it’s very likely. This sense of dread in the first 100 days of the second Trump presidency isn’t just a political problem for the White House. It’s also a psychological problem…

CNN  —  Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Tuesday he was ending the Defense Department’s Women, Peace and Security program which he termed a ‘Biden initiative’ that was enacted by President Donald Trump in his first term, championed by his daughter Ivanka Trump and based on a law co-sponsored by Secretary of State Marco Rubio when he was a member of the Senate.

CNN  —  Perhaps the only greater challenge for congressional Democrats than President Donald Trump’s sledgehammer approach to governing is a growing anxiety that the party’s base voters don’t feel they are doing enough to fight back. So, as Trump rallies Tuesday to mark his first 100 days in office, Democrats have planned a series of high-profile speeches, sit-ins and events designed to demonstrate to voters that they are doing everything they can to fight back against the administration’s controversial actions.
