California says Trump’s deployment of National Guard violates state sovereignty Gov. Gavin Newsom told POLITICO that federal law requires President Donald Trump to coordinate his call-up of the National Guard with the state.

Let’s hope so! There are so many rumors going around it’s hard to tell what we are supposed to do. We (a group of women) actually called the Sec of State and he couldn’t tell us what would be needed.

This is the first 4 pages of project 2025. Many Americans were against it. F47 swore he wouldn’t follow it. As I reread through it, he is following it almost word for word.

Call your Senators and tell them to vote NO on the Save Act. It is nothing but a tactic to stop women and the poor from voting.

Congratulations sir! You are a rock star! Keep saying the truth!

So Drump and Muskrat accidentally fired 300 of the staff that take care of our nuclear weapon stock pile per CNN. I swear, you can’t make this shit up.

So Musk set up the DOGE website and it was hacked!
