Haven’t seen a story about how mixed-status families are navigating this moment. None of the strategizing, the denial, or the joking. This limbo that always exists is now closing. There will be a before and an after to mass deportations. Reporters are missing half of it now.

Dems, Greens & Local News: An AZ race suggests thousands of voters couldn’t distinguish between the two parties, voted Green instead. It’s unclear if those voters knew Green candidate @AthenaEastwood1 appears to be a MAGA conspiracist. Only one news outlet ever wrote about her.

Why did Latinos shift toward the GOP? No one has covered the issue better since 2020, and is less surprised, than @jherrerx. Read him on what happened in Texas and nationally:

The shift toward Donald Trump in the Rio Grande Valley in 2020 grew into a sweep for the GOP in many border counties on Tuesday.

I’m seeing a lot of lefties talking about a failure to appeal to the working class but I think we should be more specific about some of the tensions embedded in this conversation, and I’m going to start with one of Biden’s signature policies - the expanded child tax credit /1
