Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty.
It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days.
But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.

I believe in not jumping to conclusions before I have sufficient information, and in being open minded. I believe in trying to help people who are struggling. I believe in using what resources/skills I have to have a positive impact. I believe I shouldn’t take myself too seriously.
What ARE your positions then as you keep repeating empty, vague platitudes about "not taking sides" yet haven't really laid out a single thing that you believe in.. almost like you're equivocating and not brave enough to make a stand on anything or against a rising fascist regime.

Everything Scott Bessent said today was wrong. Our GDP growth has slowed, job numbers are down, and the big beautiful bill will raise the deficit by trillions. We are worse off today than we were last year, and while Bessent says it’s a distraction, Americans don’t just see—they feel—the truth.

Any company that can replace a tariffed product with an American made is going to flourish. Can’t get tomatoes or avocados, twinkies and Ho-Hos are made in US bakeries and are the perfect replacement !!! Pay no attention to the price increase. They never go bad !
This deserves some good coverage: tariffs giving “cover” for other price hikes that are unrelated to trade.
The gas station I pass on my way to work has raised the price of breakfast sandwiches by like $1.50 in the last month. It's affecting things that aren't even imported

Many precedents—including Bush v. Gore—say that applying different standards to voters in different parts of the state, at the risk of disenfranchisement, violates equal protection. That is EXACTLY what the North Carolina Supreme Court's Republican majority just did. This order is unconstitutional.

“People had lived through a Trump administration before. They were taking to the streets now, in part, because they had not lived through 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨.”
The message is: crowd large.
Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift.
Events like this puncture that delusion.

Sen Warner condemns Trump’s extension of TikTok deadline in violation of federal law. National security should not be “tradable.” Risk of going dark was part of Congress’s strategy to pressure a sale.
The White House had a TikTok deal. Trump’s China tariff wrecked it.
The president said he would sign an executive order that lets the Chinese-owned video app stay online while talks continue on a sale, drawing out a years-long battle over its fate.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.
