Would things have worked out better if the US hadn’t bought Mexico? Eva Longoria, Tejana: We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us.

Or Porfirio Díaz, Presidente de México (1884-1911): “Pobre México, tan lejos de Dios y tan cerca de Estados Unidos”.

Didn’t the US do this a couple of times before, winding up with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848), ceding a little over half of Mexico to the United States in the Mexico Cession: California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, most of Arizona and Colorado, and parts of other states?

The Trump regime is planning “new mission” in Mexico “against cartels”, the mission will include US JSOC forces raiding “drug labs” and killing “drug leaders”. This comes on the tail of a massive foreign propaganda campaign taking advantage of the murder of popular mayor Carlos Manzo.

Prove to the vile Murdoch propagandists at the New York Post that their relentless smear campaign was laughably shoddy.

RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.

The courts have ordered the administration to use its contingency fund for SNAP—and have made clear it can use its transfer authorities to fully fund SNAP.

It is not enough to do the bare minimum—they should do everything they can to ensure Americans put food on the table.

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

If you’re in the Edgewater/Rogers Park area, we need people with their whistles on visibly out on patrol. Even if it’s just a walk on your lunch break or while you walk your dog, it matters. This is an all hands on deck day. Whatever you can do. ICE is heavily present in the area. Hope I see you.

GOP-led states are blocking college students from registering to vote with campus addresses.

In the context of broader attacks on vote-by-mail and early voting, these efforts will systematically disenfranchise young people across the US.

So what’s the solution, Donnie—kill them all, all the dissenters? Of course, when you start killing more dissenters, more dissenters appear.

What is the ratio of the killed to new dissenters?
