Before targeting Trump foes, Pulte practiced on his own family, per @
Brian Slodysko and Chris Megerian. He accused his grandfather’s widow of insider trading, was tied to a website trashing an aunt as a "fake Christian" and called another relative "a fat slob." apnews.com/article/trum...

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 1h

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

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

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

People keep pointing out that other countries train on US soil too.
While true, most of those are allies, some are questionable.
While Qatar has financially supported or has had ties to Al-Qaeda, Taliban, Hamas and Isis.
Its all about Trump lining his pockets, he does not give a fuck about the USA.

A President's policies DIRECTLY impacting food prices? Where's the wall-to-wall coverage? Why isn't CNN scouring the countryside to talk to voters who can't afford groceries? After all, that's how they treated Biden, even though his policies boosted the economy, as opposed to kneecapping it🙃

Trump’s immigration crackdown is risking higher food prices for Americans, according to the Trump admin itself.  DOL warned in an obscure document last week that “near total cessation of the inflow of illegal aliens” is threatening “stability of domestic food production and prices for US consumers.”

U.S. farmers face labor shortages and potential food price hikes due to Trump’s immigration policy, the administration acknowledged in a Federal Registry document.

“Why don’t they just get in line?”

It’s a question often directed toward undocumented immigrants living in the United States.

The short answer: there is no “line” available for most immigrants. The pathway to American citizenship for the vast majority is long, complex, and financially draining.
