A month ago I took a look at Obamacare approval levels and wasn’t too impressed at the spike since Trump’s election. The increase was pretty small, and it was hard to tell if it was sustainable. So let’s take another look:

I don’t usually look at the “Less Smoothing” version of Pollster’s charts, but I’m doing it this time to try and get a sense of what’s been happening recently. This time, it really does look like there’s been a genuine change since Election Day, somewhere in the range of 5-6 points. Both Kaiser and Pew, which have conducted high-quality tracking polls for a long time, show the same thing. Pew breaks down the results by party, and it turns out the increase is due almost entirely to Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents:

In the past year, approval levels have increased 7 points among Democrats and 14 points among independents. Breaking this down further, approval has spiked a whopping 20 points among Democratic-leaning independents. By contrast Republican-leaning independents are up only slightly and Republicans haven’t budged even a single point.

In other words, now that Obamacare is under serious attacks, more lefties are finally deciding it’s worth defending after all. Finally.

Here is today’s Twitterized version of the Trump Daily News:

This should make Trump’s Secret Service detail eager to take a bullet for him if the need arises. I sure hope they’re more professional than he is.

Another huge explosion has erupted in China, this time in the eastern city of Dongying, according to the People’s Daily, a Chinese state-run newspaper:

The cause of the blast is not yet known. Earlier in August, the city of Tianjin, one of China’s largest industrial shipping centers, was rocked by massive explosions inside warehouses that reportedly stored hazardous chemicals and “explosive materials.” The explosions killed at least 150 people.

This is a breaking news post. We will update as more information becomes available.

Netflix Just Released the Trailer for Tina Fey’s New Sitcom and It Looks Incredible

Welcome to your new favorite thing. Finally, a glimpse of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt—the latest from Tina Fey and the team behind 30 Rock—which comes to Netflix on March 6. Reminiscent of the recent rash of reality TV shows like Breaking the Faith and Breaking Amish, the comedy series starring Ellie Kemper (The Office, Bridesmaids) follows a peppy former doomsday cult victim as she tries to make a new life in New York City, having been rescued from an Indiana bunker. Hilarity ensues. Alongside Kemper, it’s a joy to see former 30 Rock stars Jane Krakowski and Tituss Burgess.

The first sitcom for Fey since 30 Rock was originally developed to air on NBC (co-written by NBC show-runner Robert Carlock), but it was bought up by Netflix last November. At a recent press conference for TV critics, Fey joked that the lack of network restrictions on streaming platforms was creatively liberating: “I think season two’s gonna mostly be shower sex,” she said, according to NPR.

For someone who has made network TV her career, the shift to streaming is a big move for Fey. But she told critics that the basics of any television series still apply on Netflix: “People still have that communal feeling when the next season of Orange is the New Black goes up. And they do want to talk about it, they do want to email about it and they do want to talk about it at work. So you still have the communal feeling of, like, ‘Oh we want to see this and talk about it right now.'”

The only catch? “Its just not literally at that specific hour of the night.”
