A major trend not getting much attention these days (for good reasons) is "working class" voters moving away from Trump.

This probably includes a sizable chunk of Hispanic voters, but probably some white voters, too.

This government is cracking down on vaccines the way it’s cracking down on immigrants. This is a five alarm fire.

All flights to and from El Paso, Texas, have been grounded for ten days for “Special Security Reasons”, the Federal Aviation Administration announced.

Good and Pretti were smeared the same way that Michael Brown was. The difference, obviously, is that they aren’t outpeople. Anti-Black racism was never supposed to be directed at them. Trump may be the paragon of the white-power order, but he’s breaking the rules.

And white people don’t like it.

It’s not because Trump has “lost the culture.” It’s not because he has “lost the country.” Those are euphemisms for a backlash among respectable white people to a president whose authoritarian impulses did not stop at the color line, as they were supposed to, according to the rules of white power.

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Pure corruption of the crudest sort. And Lutnick and Trump are in on it. A Detroit billionaire met with Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary, hours before President Trump said he would block the opening of a new bridge connecting Detroit to Canada, officials said.
