Maggie Haberman Spots Donald Trump Supporter Revolt In Unexpected Place
The New York Times' Maggie Haberman noted to CNN's Kaitlan Collins a rare instance of blowback against Donald Trump from his usually-loyal supporters who use his Truth Social platform.
Trump recently falsely claimed on the site, 'Gasoline just broke $1.98 a gallon, lowest in years.' Collins noted the national average for gas is actually currently around $3.18 per gallon.
Haberman acknowledged that while recent job numbers and stock market gains offer some legitimate 'good news' for the Trump White House, some of the president's statements on lowered prices 'just don't comport with reality.'
And what is 'interesting,' she continued in a video shared online, is how 'a bunch of replies' to a similar post from Trump about prices said 'essentially, 'Not where I live,' 'Not where I live,' 'Not where I live.''
The posts on the president's platform are 'normally very praising of' Trump, she noted. 'So there is actually a limit to how much he can keep saying that and have his own voters believe him but he right now seems to believe himself.'
Collins agreed, telling Haberman: 'That's actually really interesting because I have a Truth Social account to obviously monitor what the president says but people who get Truth Social accounts typically are supporters of the president.'
Haberman responded: 'I had never seen pushback on something he was saying before and there was still some praise in response but there were a number of comments of people saying, 'That's not happening where I am.''

Opelousas Museum launches Neighborhoods Project
OPELOUSAS, La. () — Historic preservation has always been a priority as Opelousas continues to evolve. Now, Patrice Melnick with the is continuing that mission with the Where We Live: Opelousas Neighborhoods Project. 'The main idea of the project is to highlight the neighborhoods, and they have names like the Brickyard and the Oil Mill and Garland, and they're commonly known, but they don't appear on maps. So, we want to raise the profiles of the neighborhoods especially the profiles of the people who lived there,' Melnick said in an interview with News 10. The way the museum plans to accomplish that goal is by having residents take pictures in their neighborhoods along with written stories about their memories. 'At the end of the project, which will be the end of the year, we're going to print some of those photographs and we're going to have an art show,' said Melnick. Close Thanks for signing up!

'Some of them may be wrong. So, we encourage people to we have a blank map with an invitation for people to come and draw in where their neighborhoods are. And even what's cool in each neighborhood.' With so much history in the city, Melnick says the people who live in it will tell the story of the city in the most genuine way possible. 'People are very proud of where they come from,' Melnick said. 'They're proud of their neighborhoods. It's a part of their identity. They have memories and a lot of associations, a lot of time that has to do with family and community. And so, it's exciting to hear those stories and to share them. And maybe it'll create a stronger sense of community between us.' For more on the Opelousas Neighborhoods Project, visit the link.
