School music programs are getting absolutely bodied by tariffs, per @nytimes.com: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/b...

The effective tariff rate on instruments in June was about 13 percent, said Cullen Hendrix, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. That was down from a peak of nearly 24 percent last September but more than twice as high as before Mr. Trump’s second term.
Band and orchestral instruments have been hit the hardest, he said. In the second quarter of this year, imports of instruments were down nearly 20 percent from the same period in 2024. Imports of orchestral string instruments, including violins, violas and cellos, dropped 50 percent. Brass instruments fell 43 percent.

“It’s hitting the horns, it’s hitting the strings, it’s hitting the percussion,” Mr. Hendrix said. “All of those things combined are kind of sapping the available pool of tools that we can provide these children to begin their journey.”

It is a shame so many believed the propaganda surrounding this war. My guess is they thought if they ignored it, that would make them a bad person.

We are statistically tied, and this race is moving. The billionaires and corporate bigshots have plenty of money to throw around. We have Texans ready to fight for our water, our privacy, and affordable, safe food. Only organized people can beat organized money. Now is the time to prove it.

Go Texan is in danger. It promotes growing, processing, and manufacturing in Texas. It’s a great brand that helps local Texas businesses grow. My opponent, Data Nate, wants to get rid of the Go Texan program, which ain’t surprising, considering he was a food importer who sold out to Wall Street.

This is heartbreaking. Once again…there’s not a single good thing that came out of not electing Kamala Harris as POTUS. IDGAF if it makes you mad because the truth is ALL of this could have been avoided. The world is a dumpster fire & anyone that didn’t vote, voted 3rd party, or for GOP did this.

Chip Roy said to Newsmax: Talarico is out of step with Texas. Translation: we have a good thing going here with our corruption and we don't want it derailed by Talarico. Wake up Texans. 30 years of corruption. And now data centers everywhere. It's time to kick the Republicans to the curb.

Yep. Similarly, my personal focus is on the cutting of USAID, with almost a *million* already dead, largely children, with 14 million more expected deaths by 2030. Connected directly to US actions. But, alas, it is not the popular protest. But, I refuse to be lectured about children in danger.🍸

There is NO difference - no, not at all, between the GQP's "Soros-funded" and the DSA's "AIPAC owned" Both seek to attack Jewish *Americans* (yes, DSAholes, literally the first word in AIPAC is "American") So stop pretending either is virtuous.

Texas food should come from Texas. If we can grow it here, we should grow it here. If we can process it here, we should process it here. Let's expand GO TEXAN, support local businesses, and make our food local again.

I read an article this morning on Ossoff welcoming @kamalaharris.com's support in Georgia while Rob Sand & Josh Turek oppose it in Iowa. KDH is too often framed as the candidate of the past. It's actually lily-white Iowa that's the past & GA & VP Harris who are the future. The future is diverse.
