Albuquerque’s status as an “immigrant-friendly” city is once again a focal point in the city’s mayoral race—this time with tens of millions of dollars in federal funding hanging in the balance. 🇺🇸 As of Monday, the candidates include Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller, Albuquerque City Councilor Louie Sanchez, former Bernalillo County Sheriff Darren White, Entrepreneur Daniel Chavez, former U.S. Attorney Alex Uballez, Navy veteran Mayling Armijo and retired Fire Chief Eddie Varela. "It's not a partisan race between one Democrat and one Republican. We've got seven candidates running for mayor who have qualified for the ballot. Some of these candidates aren't exactly household names. Some of them are still working hard to get their name out there. So, the voters actually know who they are," Sanderoff said.

Some 70% of global investors surveyed by BofA Global Research in early August said they expect stagflation in the US in the next 12 months. 🇺🇸 Regardless of what the Federal Reserve does at this point it probably won’t be able to stop the stagflation that has been put in motion by the Trump Administration’s economic policies from starting. Americans can expect higher and higher prices from inflation and tariffs, which will eventually decrease consumer spending and lead the stock market to drop as well. https://www.reuters.com/business/global-markets-stagflation-graphic-2025-08-18/

Why do so few Americans vote in mayoral elections? Maybe Americans don’t think the mayor of their city makes that much of a difference in their lives? Or is it because they’re not aware that mayoral elections are happening in their city? Detroit’s mayoral race pits City Council President Mary Sheffield against the Rev. Solomon Kinloch Jr. The last general election for mayor in Detroit yielded about a 19% turnout. Across the US only 10 to 20% of Americans on average voted in recent mayoral elections. 🇺🇸 https://www.axios.com/local/detroit/2025/08/19/mayor-general-election-sheffield-kinloch-campaign

Brian Gavidia, an American citizen, was illegally arrested in June by ICE. He is now part of a lawsuit over illiegal immigration enforcement raid tactics used by the Trump Administration that are in violation of the constitutional rights of American citizens. 🇺🇸 Clearly the Trump Administration has put people in charge that have forgotten about the Constitution of the United States of America and they need to get new management in charge at ICE who understand the rights of American citizens. 🇺🇸

The Trump Administration’s tariffs and crackdown on legal immigrants risk a return of 1970s-esque "stagflation", when a sudden oil shock prompted stagnant growth and prices spiraling up, except this time the crisis would be self-inflicted. The labour market is sending clearly worrisome signals. Job creation was almost non-existent in May and June, sluggish in July, and the ranks of discouraged workers are growing. 🇺🇸 Prices for hard-to-substitute, imported staples, like coffee and bananas, have already jumped. Forecasters expect price increases to widen in the months ahead, as firms sell down pre-tariff stock and raise prices, now that they have more confidence about what the tariff policies might be.🇺🇸
