I just hear on Morning Joe that Trump ...

has been invited to Laredo, TX to do a border tour ... by Border Control Union Heads! WTF!!!

I have long thought that LE Unions should be decertified, as they always seem to come out against the public ... Now this?!?

(I'm half kidding about the decertification thing)

But on a completely disconnected thought ... Does anyone know where El Chapo is at the moment? (One can only hope!)

I've always had a non small d democratic opinion about giving "essential" public employees the right to strike, particularly public safety like police and fire where their absence could be harmful to the health and safety of the public. They have the city dads by the short and curlies when it comes to contract negotiations, definitely not in the public interest.

Glad to see someone else around here has at least entertained the same thought.

They want to educate him and show Trump the truth (?)

ETA: no. I see that the national AFL-CIO has been cancelled (Thurs AM) out of concern that this event was being played as an endorsement by the union of Trump.
