The collapse of support for Trump in the Rio Grande Valley is a big story of the moment. It's more deserving of our attention than what some centrist tweeted somewhere, believe it or not.

You & me knew Trump was going to quickly deport hard-working law-abiding immigrants & impose onerous tariffs on US, but NYT & Corporate Media relentlessly promoted Latinos were aligning with Trump because they believed he was going to slash inflation & protect good immigrants, never correcting them.

Breaking character: I hate to use this account for political strategizing but the ball needs to get rolling on this....when Dems take the House they've got to focus on impeaching Hegseth. He can be be blamed for the Iran war plus he's a drunk and a criminal.

So, I guess it's time for me to bring up that military adherence to constitutional norms/congressional directives is demonstrably a wasting asset (tho impossible to say to what extent) as Trump Regime continues purge of military & civilian "leadership". Military has followed illegal orders so far.

How clear is it that Trump's taxpayer funded ads are illegal? I explain why it is 10/10 clear. Senate in passing the law: Ban is designed to stop public funds used for "glorification" of an individual official. GAO: funds can not be used for "self-aggrandizement" nor partisan political purposes.

Corporations spend more than $1.5B a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5B they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions. Kudos to these Autozone workers.
