a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

So let me get this right, Trump’s plan was:
1. Tariff everything to help the economy (it didn’t)
2. Claim consumers aren’t paying tariffs (we are)
3. Panic & roll back food tariffs b/c you created an affordability crisis (we told you)

Pam Bondi will not have a license to practice law when this is all over. You can’t stay a bar member and agree to investigate only members of one political party for child sexual abuse but not members of the other. And, you can’t do it after previously saying no one else could be charged.

This makes sense. Also, I think Walmart is located in rural areas where people NEED them. With Target, there are almost always other options nearby.
The YouTube channel "Company Man" covered Target's decline, where he mentions the boycott as a factor & brought up a good point:
Both Target AND Walmart abandoned DEI, but:
Target has more left-leaning customers;
Walmart, more right-leaning
Hence, why Target is more hit by the boycott than Walmart
