It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

I’ve lived in rural America long enough to know that the entire point was to bankrupt farmers…

We are all about to find out.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

The executive branch is one of three COEQUAL branches of government in America.

Until we get rid of this Dictator & this SCOTUS that enables his tyranny, you live in Russia.

Exclamation point.

CNN: The judge presiding over the prosecution of Jim Comey has agreed to Comey’s request to schedule a near term trial. Comey asked for a Jan 12 trial date. The judge went with Jan 5. Comey is counting on the gov’t not being ready for trial. A good bet.

By all means, indict Jack Smith on bullshit allegations and give him the trial that SCOTUS denied him.

Poke the bear, Donnie. See what happens.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

This is the way. Sane stable states should bypass the Federal government.

California just signed a new trade partnership with Belgium.

We're committed to expanding economic and clean energy innovation — because California will always be a stable, reliable partner on the world stage.

If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.

If you want to understand “America” at this moment, ask yourself what kind of federal judge WOULDN’T block The Dictator from overriding a state’s Governor & sending that state’s National Guard to another state.

What possible excuse could that OTHER federal judge concoct?
