An important analysis of Trump’s Idiocracy by my favorite intellectual @jeremisuri.bsky.social.

I was excited to celebrate the grand opening of the new Canyon Creek FIRE/EMS Station on 620. This marks the achievement of an ambitious goal to build 5 new Fire/EMS stations in 6 years to reduce response times, support first responders, and elevate our wildfire preparedness.
