Australian friends, I know I'm amplifying a lot of American content at the moment. This is because 1) I feel, and worry for, our American friends and 2) What's happening in the US is also happening in the UK and AUS. We're just not quite as far into it as the US. Watch and learn. We're next.

These layoffs are illegal and will be challenged in court. Keep resisting, Democrats.

Tweet from The Washington Post reads: “Breaking news: The Trump administration began laying off federal workers while the government is shuttered, fulfilling threats from President Trump to take advantage of the closure to shave off more parts of the federal workforce he dislikes.”

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.
