In this episode of Politics with Pan, host Christian Alexander breaks down what in the hell is going on in America, from Trump's proposed $100 million Triumphal Arch near the Lincoln Memorial, to the fight over renaming the USS Doris Miller after a sitting president, to Pete Hegseth's controversial new Religious Affairs office at the Pentagon that critics say erases the separation of church and state. This is the political commentary you need before the midterms.Pan digs into the economy with sky-high gas prices and grocery prices, ICE raids devastating the agriculture industry, and why Trump is telling Republican voters to "act like I'm on the ballot" heading into the 2026 midterm elections. He also delivers a frank conversation about vote-splitting in Black political races, why so many Black candidates entering the same race costs the community real political power, and what it takes to build lasting Black political power in Texas and beyond.Then Pan takes a point of personal privilege to launch his brand-new website, christiantalexander.com, home of the Black Voter Hub, a one-stop resource for Black voters in Harris County and Fort Bend County to check voter registration, find polling places, look up important election dates, discover Black candidates, and get involved as an election worker or precinct chair. Visit christiantalexander.com to watch the show live, catch past episodes, and access the full voter resource hub.The show also covers the data center boom in Texas, where data centers have poured more than $343 million into communities across the state for infrastructure, schools, and emergency services, and why Pan warns rural communities that this PR money comes with water depletion, noise, health risks, and no real economic value. Plus, leaked audio reveals Ken Paxton admitting that Trump's appearance dropped Republican convention numbers, and Pan reacts to taxpayer-funded White House propaganda ads ahead of the midterms, including the claim that "America will never be a communist country" — and Pan's argument that America is actually an oligarchy where the state has been sold to big business.They say America will never be a communist country. I say look at who owns the state.
