Obviously California has issues but this defense of their policies by Newsom is worth watching.
TN is a low tax state - for the top. regressive for the bottom. our services and laws punish working people also (bottom in infant & maternal mortality, poverty, school spending, violent crime, etc..)

In the name of reducing fentanyl overdoses, Trump has gone to the extreme—levied tariffs, listed cartels as terrorist groups, and weighed drone strikes in Mexico.
But these proclamations gloss over a glaring reality: The admin is decimating funding for treatment and overdose prevention programs.

If Trump cares so much about fentanyl, why is he cutting addiction treatment funding?
Punishing China and Mexico via tariffs won't solve the country's drug problems.

Urgent: Illegal Activity Underway
Many undocumented immigrants file tax returns with the IRS, providing details about their residences, families, employers, and earnings. The IRS has historically encouraged tax compliance by issuing ITINs to those without Social Security numbers.
