Anna's Daybreak News

Just facts, you think for yourself

  • 28% No, global trade will largely return to previous norms

cica...TACO is screwing America for the next generation. From here on out, everything gets more expensive. Living is going to get a lot more expensive. Wages will not rise to cover it. Interest rates will rise, making living even more expensive in America.
bets...I think this is and will severely impact the U.S. economy and business confidence and it didn’t have to happen at all or like this…Trump could have come in and set an across the board 10% tariff and called it a day and the economy would have continued to hum along…now too much uncertainty and undercutting ourselves and he shot us all in the foot…what a giant mistake
tubi...yes. more countries will do business with china because they dont have an unstable leader "making deals".
atli...The pariah US will be alone in the world. And because of the US reliance on war power and its dying economic hegemony we could be headed for a very dangerous time. China is its first target.
pfor...TACO, TACO, TACO
sopa...Protectinism is very bad for american business and american people. Is the road to poverty. Mercantilism is a socialist agenda.
ebr....Many Americans like myself and my household will scale back their purchases to account for the excess we have accumulated. Less is more, and it provides freedom and clarity.
kvas...Traitor Don is accelerating China's world dominance, and China is laughing all the way to the bank.
dfpe...Independent of any transitional or semi-permanent tariff agreement, China has proven their intent to control critical minerals and global trade as much as possible. Moving as much manufacturing capacity out of China is one of the main levers manufacturers have to protect themselves from prying eyes and central party strong-arm tactics.
mdul...It's clear that global trade patterns will be fundamentally reshaped as a result of Trump's trade war, but not in the way that Trump has sought. While it's true that Chinese exports to the US have dropped year-over-year (YOY), Chinese exports globally actually INCREASED YOY. This happened because Trump's unhinged foreign and trade policies have caused China to seek alternative markets while also filling the void left by Trump's withdrawals. Trump's haphazard and whimsical pronouncements and his targeting of allies has left a world skeptical and leery of the US. As a result, China has signed at least 53 separate trade deals with nations around the world and has gained enormous influence while US presence has retrenched. In Q2, Chinese exports grew 5.8% YOY overall despite the large drop in exports to the US. The world is getting used to dealing with #ABUSA (Anyone But USA) and our prominence in the world continues to fade. That is not likely to reverse in any short time frame.
bcar...It will just slow the whole global economy down.
chri...There are already shifts to production out of China with Chinese FDI. They go for lower labor costs (India, Africa) and diversifying. It gives them soft power as well. The tariffs will accelerate an already existing trend. In the end, it is still Chinese money and tech.

How do you view the federal takeover of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department under the Home Rule Act?


  • 75% An overreach undermining local authority
  • 22% A necessary emergency measure
  • 3% Other

ebr....The toddler in chief is living his best life cosplaying some childhood GI Joe fantasy. Congress needs to set him straight and put him in prison for the rest of his life. That includes the Trump regime, crime family, and all the MAGA supporters who are complicit in this chaos.
john...Trump needs a distraction.
atli...A police state is a necessity for fascism to prevail.
lesl...This is a blatant attempt to create a Trump militia and usurp control of DC.
elin...He has the authority to do this for 30 days because of the unique status of the DC. However, he cannot do this in other cities without legitimate legal challenges. Crime has been diminishing steadily in the DC. It is doubtful that his temporary deployment will ultimately reduce crime to any significant degree.
tmsa...Trump can eat shit and die in a fire
kenr...Could give the president more control should he need to retain power or question the next election.
mcma...Someone needs to do it
kvas...Traitor Don doesn't respect American rule of law. D.C. is a liberal leaning area, and it's small enough that Traitor Don can send his jackboots in to conquer it without much effort. If it suits his ego to do it, he will, regardless of the impact that this mismanagement of federal resources has on other, more important matters.
sopa...It's a very bad move.
ocds...Release the Epstein files and stop creating distractions.
mdul...MAGA represents about 27% of the US voter population and it's no coincidence that, at this time, 27% of respondents say that the takeover is a necessary emergency measure.
cesv...It’s power grab. Trump wants to control everything
caro...Our military should not be policing on U.S. soil.
usct...These are the actions of an incompetent authoritarian.
amy....an attempt to distract from Epstein + failing economy
dfpe...The government is the major employer in D.C. D.C. should be a safe showcase of how a capital city should look and function. It has been a mess forever and as the main employer the government should have more say in its function and management. This has been a long time coming and an appropriate move. However, the government should also commit the funds to get D.C. to a place we as Americans are proud to call our capital city.
tubi...DC, like most US cities, wasnt safe to walk around in after sunset.
jeff...Just another attempt by Trump to do “whatever the hell he wants” with no checks and balances!!!!!
came...Get all of these scumbags off of the streets
rzim...Even with the decrease in the crime rates, the actual rates of crime are still dramatically high and alarming in DC.
alon...Trump tries to do the right thing. Politics are of control in the US. New York City has lost their minds. Trump needs to take over the entire State. The Major race is a joke as well as the Governor. Send her back to Buffalo.
cmck...No President needs to dominate the local police forces. This feels like a backlash from his failed insurrection.
domo...A racist driven move to fuel divisiveness and move us further to authoritarianism
bcar...A desperate overreach of a pathetic wannabe dictator
vita...If the locals can’t get it done, then somebody needs to step in. There’s been enough incompetency on, so many levels in different organizations and no accountability. The people in charge are getting rich in the streets are becoming unsafe. The current president and his administration are done with it and I’m happy. I just pray everybody that’s out protecting the people are safe and supported.
mcam...Step by step “T” is building his autocratic empire. Canada next, or NYCity? The man is crazy with power and self importance.
acts...DC is a swamp. Not a testimony to life in the "free world". About time.
pjpa...“Crime” is dropping in blue cities bc they all systematically stopped reporting crime stats to the FbI & also have downgraded felonies to misdemeanors in a coordinated effort to hide how truly bad their cities crime problems are
john...When the police force is down 800 officers after the 2020 defund the police debacle… there are less officers to enforce the law, there more less arrests. Saying crime is down is misleading. Arrests and prosecutions are down.
dsbl...If you said no, look at the crime in that city. Out of control.
mrml...An expansion of Trump’s take over of the government and move to dictatorship.
matt...Maybe you missed that the data on reduced crime may have been faked in whole or part when you were stating the "facts". https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/dc-police-commander-suspended-crime-statistics/3959566/?utm_placement=newsletter&user_id=66c4c4b8600ae1507598fca7
lind...There is no crime emergency in DC. This is another attempt to distract the public.
lind...Just another power play by the maga moron tRump.
hadl...Unnecessary overreach to a fabricated situation
dawn...We now live in an authoritarian country
jald...It is an absolute disgrace that our nations capital is this bad to the point people do lot want to visit it should be the safest city in America. The crime statistics are bunk since democrat cities do not fully report all crime to the FBI which is why we see the fake drop in violent crime. People in this country should really wake up to what these politicians are doing to them. I for one will never visit DC until this crime is cleaned up.
19pi...A clear example of Trumps abuse of power
bpin...The last real major crime in D.C. was the insurrection, the police put their life on the line all because some baby said he won and to go get Mike Pence
rose...Are we becoming a police state? Shameful!
geor...The King rules DC and will try to take over other Blue cities even though many Red cities have higher crime rates!
rumr...What "emergency"??!! Tyrants always declare emergencies. The true emergency is the deliberate destruction of what remains of republican (small r intended) virtue in the USA.
to55...Extreme exageration , Lies and Authoratian Power grab by Trump and his Lying , Loyal ,Minions !
cica...It’s a disgrace
arth...Kabuki politics
kjla...Get rid of this maniac
mary...One more stride into this dictatorship.
blan...the complete opposite of what Republican's believe in...or claim to believe in.
abel...He needs to have less control over his daily choices and actions if he is not stopped our country will be changed and not for the better
perm...As long as the perpetrators of crime are given priority over the safety of the victims of crime in any city, a hard look should be taken at the laws, ordinances, district attorneys and judges of that city. I have yet to read how the local law enforcement agencies view the federalization and added assistance of the National Guard. I do not put much stock in the opinions of the various progressive political figures who couldn’t care less about the victims of crime.
loug...No question we need to do better with crime, but federal troops are not the answer
stev...Have pride for our Nation’s Capitol.
bush...Avoiding Epstein at every turn… Another big distraction. His avoidance tactics no absolutely no bounds
jamf...Don't be fooled by the stats...it is gangs of unruly ( perhaps illegal ?) teens committing the bloodiest of crimes...like shootings-and then being sent to facilities like "camp". We need law and order at this point. DC is unsafe. Remember Rachel Moran- who was brutally assaulted and murdered ( media hid this from you!)
ned....King Trump , again !
nanc...All part of his move to authoritarian rule. He tried to do this when people were protesting George Floyd’s murder, but had pushback from his cabinet. No worries about that now. He continues to follow the project 25 plan as well as Victor Orbon’s playbook. tRump’s mental acuity seems to be falling fast. Why isn’t the media mentioning that he sounded like a lunatic at his press conference? They sure didn’t hold back when Biden was president.
twin...This is ANOTHER deflect of trump who is guilty of epstein doings! He is a defector!!! He needs to be impeached and banned from our country!
sili...Distraction from the Epstein files.
cfio...Another grandstand move by a childish bully who happens to have a powerbase.
avaa...Lock trump up and send him to hungary
loui...Is this a ploy to to take over the capital to control the confirmation of the next presidential election?
davi...You failed to mention the actual police supported this move and in last July the newspaper reported that it believes the figures were being unreported and as I remember the Chief was suspended.
btaw...No justification for this move by the administration. Blatant disregard for local authorities AND declining crime rates. A terrible foreshadowing, unless the current lawsuit over Los Angeles NG deployment ends in state’s favor.
csbr...What happens if they decide to try this in other cities?
bfph...Mostly Democrats must be responded to this poll based on the results. Law and Order is not an option, it is a requirement, especially for our Nation’s Capital
deca...DC isn’t even in the top 10!!! Crime is at a 30 year low founded in a 2024 study. If they can turn DC into a police state, they can do it to anywhere!!!!!! Top 6 crime cities…….. St. Louis, MO: Known for a high homicide rate and overall violent crime. Little Rock, AR: Experiences high rates of violent crime and property crime. Minneapolis, MN: Faces challenges with both violent and property crimes. Detroit, MI: Often cited for its high violent crime rates. Kansas City, MO: Has a high rate of violent crime, particularly in certain areas. New Orleans, LA: Grapples with high rates of both violent and property crime. Cleveland, OH: A city with a high rate of violent crime.
dpma...Did I mention that Trump is a tyrannical dictator who will stop at no act to criticize, demean, offend, overtake or dismantle any US institution, rule, standard, agency, entity or institution. WAKE UP AMERICA - this is 1930’s Hitler and Nazi Germany all over again !!
fnpn...The Mayor asked for help from Trump.
davi...Its a disgrace to let people exist in the streets. Refor. Vagrant laws and enforce the.. Those that feel strongly bad about the homeless can take them in their houses .
andr...They have relieved and investigating a gov't official for falsifying statistics in DC from 2023-2024 on DC crime. Crime has not dropped. Which makes ALL stats unreliable. We all know DC is a cesspool still.

How confident are you in corporate safety commitments after repeated accidents at the same facility?


  • 86% Skeptical; repeated incidents suggest deeper systemic problems
  • 10% They are generally trustworthy if they publicly commit to improvements
  • 4% Unsure

EmailComments
csbr...Profit over people. People are expendable, but nothing gonna impede corporate and shareholder profit margins.
cica...I think it depends on the industry in the situation. I haven’t heard about an accident at the US steel plant in a long, long time.
bpin...Maybe the current trend towards less government regulations for corporations will help solve these kind of accidents? Certainly corporations will put safety over profits, right?
ebr....Sure, it'll happen again. Don't sign up for the job unless you're willing to lose your life. Seems eerily akin to serving in the US armed forces.

How confident are you that the BLS under new leadership will produce “honest and accurate” employment data?


  • 69% Not confident at all
  • 20% Somewhat doubtful
  • 11% Very confident

jose...Trump and his goons can’t be trusted.
meya...kill the news, kill the economy, make your "oligarchy" friends and family the controlling rich
full...Not bi partisan.
lind...When he gets there he’s going to realize the last woman didn’t do anything wrong and then he will get fired too.
leek...Last person in charge missed numbers routinely in hundreds of thousands. 800,000 in one quarter all in favor of former Biden presidency. She was totally incompetent or just a shill for Democrat Party.
jald...The previous head of BLS had a history of bad reports going back to Biden where she over reported 1 million jobs and revised a year later that is pure manipulation and lies she deserved to be fired to be that wrong every month so Trump was correct to fire her for doing a horrible job.
cica...Oh no, I don’t think we can ever trust the numbers going forward not as long as TACO is in charge.
csbr...Just like with CDC, will manipulate data and research in their favor.
mdul...Although the BLS has historically been a valued and trusted reporter of facts, Trump's takeover of its reporting for his own purposes means that the world can no longer rely on this data. It was not long ago that SCOTUS was among, and perhaps the most admired and respected organization in the world but is now viewed as simply pawns doing Trump's bidding. It seems most likely that BLS is following suit.
abel...He keeps undermining the truth by putting his supporters in positions that will follow his path with no hesitation this is not allowing the public to understand what true numbers are, total dictatorship
john...Trump owns him.
deca...We can no longer trust the government when cronies with no actual experience or expertise are placed in power to replace actual experts.
lesl...Get ready for the fuzziest of fuzzy maths.
bcar...So sad. Whinny baby Trump has to fix the books to make him look good as our credibility goes down the drain.
bpin...Creme always rises to the top, shit sinks to the bottom. Just another member of the white fat boys liar club
dfpe...Continue to drain the swamp. DOGE was just a start.
atli...Much like the corruption of health data, soon this department will be spewing political lies too.
ocds...If his lips are moving, he's lying. Dear Leader has ordered it.
mjla...However, I believe that as an organization, the BLS did so before, as well.
ebr....This is fascism.
stfr...heritage foundation is a think tank for idiots
kvas...Traitor Don has made it clear that he dislikes facts and truth. If you're willing to bend or break reality to suit Traitor Don's ego, then you too can have a government appointment. If not, you will be the next to be pilloried. Time is running out on America under Traitor Don. MAKE AMERICA SANE AGAIN.
nanc...He only wants another loyal yes-man to do his bidding. No honesty to be found amongst any of them.
mcam...All the pieces are being fit into place for complete control of economy and political life. The Republic is dying just as it did in 1933 Europe.

How likely would you be to try a vaccine delivered via dental floss if it were approved for human use?


  • 45% Very likely
  • 38% Somewhat unlikely
  • 17% Undecided

EmailComments
greg...Anything to avoid needles
atli...Worthy of more investigation. Unfortunately because the use of the word vaccine is anathema to the unscientific community it will have an uphill battle getting more research dollars from the feds.
jcl6...I don't floss I WaterPik
dfpe...The easier to administer the better for all.
tdhu...Not the best alternative for those with gum disease.
andr...Why? This should scare those who have seen what big PHARMA did to the entire worlds population during COVID with impunity. Next time your flossing what will the powers that be dictate concealing in something as unsuspecting as floss or even your food without you knowing! Remember ....they make no $$$ when people are healthy.
mdul...If any vaccines are allowed to be developed under the current HHS Secretary, and scientists (not political loyalists) attest to its safety and efficacy, I would use the delivery method.

When evaluating new materials, which is more important to you?


  • 90% Minimizing chemical risks even if performance is slightly lower
  • 10% High performance and durability even with some chemical concerns

EmailComments
dfpe...Unless we are talking about advanced and mission critical applications, where risk minimization is not of concern, slightly lower efficacy is a small price to pay for overall safety.
atli...It seems that every generation offers new guinea pigs for industry. Sometimes with consumer pressure those industries think about us and not only about their profits.
nanc...No reason to continue polluting our planet with pfas. Just their moniker, FOREVER CHEMICALS, should be something to think long and hard about.
