Camden had zero homicides this summer. City and county leaders credit the 2013 disbandment of its police department.
Violent crime is at a 50-year low.
This is amazing.

This "Democrats and Republicans" line is bullshit.
I wrote a bipartisan bill last year that would have stopped all asylum seekers from being released into the country. It gave POTUS emergency power to shut down the border. It put billions into border security.
Trump killed it.

![Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos) (1948) by Woody Guthrie
The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting,
the oranges piled up in their creosote dumps.
You're flying 'em back to the Mexican border
to spend all their money to wade back again.
[Chorus]:
Good bye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita,
adiós mis amigos, Jesús y María.
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
and all they will call you will be "deportees."
Some of us are illegal, and others not wanted.
Our work contract's out and we've got to move on.
Six hundred miles to that Mexican border, they chased us like outlaws,
like rustlers, like thieves.
(chorus)
The skyplane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon.
A fireball of lightning, it shook all our hills.
Who are all these friends who are scattered like dried leaves?
The radio said they were just "deportees."

Oh god how stupid, how incredibly stupid is Gavin?
California built the film industry — and we’re ready to bring even more jobs home.
We’ve proven what strong state incentives can do. Now it’s time for a real federal partnership to Make America Film Again.
POTUS, let’s get it done.

Fortunately, nothing can go wrong with his scheme to turn state governance over to privately-owned Generative AI.

A naturalized citizen (meaning "he passed a test about the US Constitution which the President would fail badly") was denied his Social Security benefits he had paid for.

Trump has revoked a U.S. citizen’s Social Security benefits in the hopes they would leave the country.
This comes after the administration filed 6,000 immigrants into the SSA’s “death master file,” stripping them of their legal ability to work and receive benefits.
