Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed.
There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea.
Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.

Dozens of Marines are now patrolling the border near Campo, California. Not just in support roles, but shoulder to shoulder with Border Patrol.
A direct challenge to the Posse Comitatus Act, which bans the military from civilian law enforcement.

So many people are ignoring the fact that LA is under siege. But the thing is, LA is harbinger of what is likely to spread to other cities. Masked weirdos are snatching all kinds of people off the street, U.S. citizens included.

They keep telling us, “People will adjust.” Adjust to what?

The senior who skips meds to buy food?
There’s no adjusting to losing Medicaid.
There’s only suffering.

The government just cut a key hurricane satellite during storm season. They call it “routine.”
It’s not. It’s sabotage by budget. Less data means worse forecasts. More lives at risk.
They want us in a constant state of panic and fear, confusion and anger. People are easier to rule that way.
