The Latino Vote Podcast: Republicans Under Pressure in Battleground Seats (Video)

The Latino Vote Podcast is back breaking down the latest 2026 midterm polling — new data on Latino voters, Republicans under pressure in battleground seats, and where the map is actually moving.

Two things to listen for specifically:

  1. Anti-institutionalism — how deep the distrust of all institutions runs right now, on both sides.
  2. Dealignment, not realignment — voters aren’t switching teams so much as walking away from teams altogether.

There’s some things in here I do not fully agree with — but it’s a good one!






Jimmy Kimmel’s Interview with James Talarico That the FCC Doesn’t Want You to See (Video)

Jimmy Kimmel Live sat down with James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas — and the interview never aired on television because of threats from the FCC. So they posted it online instead.

This is what government intimidation of the media actually looks like: not a law, not a ruling — just pressure, and a candidate interview quietly spiked. The right response is to watch it and share it. It’s a genuinely good conversation about faith, populism, and the fight against Ken Paxton in Texas.


Movies That Make You Think — Part 33



Four nights gone wrong: a small-town bag of cash, an all-night race against eviction, a kidnapping that reopens an old case, and a freelancer who treats other people’s tragedies as inventory.

Greedy People (Hulu)

A rookie cop’s first day in a sleepy island town goes sideways when his reckless partner’s bad call leaves a woman dead and a bag of cash up for grabs. Himesh Patel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt anchor a dark comedy where nearly everyone turns out to be one payday away from something ugly, and the body count climbs in proportion to the greed.



Night Always Comes (Netflix)

Lynette has one night to raise $25,000 before her family loses the only home they can afford in a city being priced out from under them. Vanessa Kirby drives a thriller that plays like a tour of American precarity, where every favor, scam, and humiliation gets measured against what a person owes her family — and herself.



The Whisper Man (Netflix)

When widowed Tom’s young son vanishes, the abduction echoes an old serial-killer case — the one his estranged father, a retired detective, put away years ago. Adam Scott and Robert De Niro turn a kidnapping thriller into a story about grief, damaged fathers and sons, and the fear that the worst things run in the family.



Nightcrawler (Netflix)

Lou Bloom parlays a police scanner and a cheap camcorder into a career filming LA’s bloodiest nights for a ratings-hungry news producer — then starts improving the footage. Jake Gyllenhaal’s hollow-eyed stringer is the logical endpoint of “if it bleeds, it leads”: an economy that pays for spectacle and never asks who got hurt producing it.



James Talarico on The Breakfast Club: The Texas Senate Race (Video)

James Talarico sits down with The Breakfast Club to talk about his Texas Senate race against Ken Paxton, the primary against Jasmine Crockett, Black voters and businesses, and more.

This is exactly the kind of room more Democrats should walk into — and Talarico holds his own, talking faith, populism, and corruption in plain language instead of consultant-speak. Worth a watch if you want to understand why this race is suddenly competitive.
