WTAF? Are they planning on doing this for all border states or just so called blue states? What about the northern border where POTUS claims fentanyl is streaming in from Canada?
Trump is creating a militarized zone at the US-Mexico border. How will this affect tourism, hiking, or offroading in the Otay Mesa area? Will anyone be stopped? Will San Diegans need to start carrying special papers to identify themselves as citizens? We need some specific answers.
Burgum: "We have an opportunity to take a strip of land right along the border [in CA], transfer it to the military for a 3 year period. Then, if someone crosses into our country, they're stepping on a military installation. That gives our troops down there more authority about detaining people."

Trump: "The only reason our unemployment tucked up and went up to 4.5 percent [it's actually 4.6 percent] is because we are reducing the government workforce by numbers that have never been seen before."

I typically stay on top of vaccines. But in 2023 we were late with flu shots–a mistake I will never make again.

What does the Governor have to hide regarding direct communication with POTUS? The law identifies what can be redacted. It does not include topics deemed personal when conducted using State issued equipment. Their “hide the ball” game is old and contrary to State Ethics and Public Records laws.

The end goal is eugenicist. RFK and his ilk know that this will make vaccines more expensive and time-consuming — and therefore marginalized children are most likely to fall through the cracks.

U.S. plans to stop recommending most childhood vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

"Benefits appear to flow from Trump, not the institution. Citizens are repositioned as clients. Well-being becomes linked to political allegiance."
It's what they call "running government like a business," which is the opposite of what a government should be.

A state service branded to the leader is a hallmark of personalist governance. Benefits appear to flow from Trump, not the institution. Citizens are repositioned as clients. Well-being becomes linked to political allegiance. The Constitution recedes, and Trump becomes the perceived gatekeeper.

Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.
ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

Trump supported the Iraq invasion when it began but eventually used it to attack politics as usual. He would also argue that the US should have "kept Iraq's oil" and was foolish not to. So here we are, with an explicit call for regime change centered on seizing resources. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump on Venezuela: "Getting land, oil rights, whatever we had -- they took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn't watching. But they're not gonna do that. We want it back. They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out. And we want it back."
