If young men don’t want to be drafted to fight in Kamala’s and Cheney’s 3rd World War they better get out and vote for Trump.

Regardless of how you feel about partisan redistricting, sending heavily armed and masked ICE agents to Governor Newsom’s rally to intimidate people is an outrageous, despicable and un-American assault on free speech and the right to free assembly.

When rich white Republicans keep minorities out it’s called racism, when it’s rich white progressives we turn our head and ignore it.

NEW: USC professor estimates new CA regulations mean the average resident w/ a gas-powered car "will have to earn an additional $600 to $1,000 a year in pre-tax income in order to 'break even' with 2024 prices, depending on the grade of gas they purchase." https://t.co/5bVFjRFCKa

@SupervisorAlejo I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat.🤷

It wasn’t racism when Latinos supported Obama by over 70%

It wasn’t misogyny when Latinos supported Hillary Clinton by 69%

It wasn’t conservative Catholicism when Latinos supported Democrats over 60% for four decades.

It’s the economy, stupid.

[Mike Madrid @madrid_mike]

The Democratic Party is facing a long overdue reckoning with Latino voters it’s never quite understood. After a decade of sliding support the moment has arrived.

The Marist poll shows Kamala Harris with biggest national lead yet +5

Look at the Latino tabs:

Harris/Walz 53%
Trump/Vance 44%

Very hard to see Trump break 40% w/Latinos but nearly every quality pollster is now showing a very high range

Presidents can sometimes be poets.

Abraham Lincoln:

Fondly do we hope,
Fervently do we pray,
That this mighty scourge of war
May speedily pass away.

Donald Trump:

They're eating the dogs
They're eating the cats
They're eating the pets
Of the people who live there.

[Mike Madrid @madrid_mike]

It shouldn’t go unnoticed that the two politicians who have brought Trump to humiliating defeat by standing him down in person are women - Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi.
