President Trump’s approval ​rating sank to the lowest level of his current term — 34% — as Americans increasingly soured on his handling of the cost ‌of living and an unpopular war with Iran, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.

“Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted Tuesday over a photo of seashells officials said threatened President Donald Trump, marking the administration’s second attempt to prosecute one of his largest political opponents,” CNN reports.

“Last May, Comey posted a photo on social media of shells on a beach writing out the numbers ’86 47,’ which critics said referred to taking out or killing Trump.”

“Democrats in Congress are exploring a lawsuit against President Donald Trump if he continues the war in Iran beyond Friday’s legal deadline without obtaining congressional authorization, setting up a potential constitutional clash over presidential war powers as Congress prepares for another vote this week,” Time reports.

The State Department is close to finalizing a radical redesign of the U.S. passport to include a picture of President Donald Trump, The Bulwark reports.

NOTUS: “The Trump administration’s go-to tactic for firing career federal employees — delivering form letters that cite President Donald Trump’s ‘Article II’ constitutional powers — is backfiring in a way that could bolster the flood of lawsuits against the government.”

“Until now, the White House had effectively shut down the primary legal avenue ex-employees had to challenge their terminations by refusing to fully staff an obscure government panel that handles workplace disputes. But a New York judge on Tuesday issued a decision that said the dismissals open the door to bringing the fight to federal court. It was the second such ruling this month.”

Politico: “Some members of one of Washington’s most exclusive clubs have a message for acting Attorney General Todd Blanche: We don’t want you.”

“Around February last year, Blanche started the rigorous process to join the Metropolitan Club, which is one of Washington’s oldest private clubs and claims D.C. royalty as members. But at least six members have written to the Met Club’s board of directors to object to Blanche’s joining, saying he’s too polarizing and has politicized the Justice Department.”
