If you're considering a run for president in 2028 your highest priority needs to be fighting to ensure that the midterm election is free and fair.

There's no 2028 without a legitimate 2026 where the results are respected. Something I pray that everyone with presidental ambitions understands.

ICE now has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world and has increased spending on weapons.

It's also engaging in a race to recruit 10,000 new agents who will eventually be out in American streets.

Some will be vetted, but how many unqualified recruits will fall through the cracks?

Families are already hanging by a thread, but the sad truth is it’s about to get a lot worse when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November.

It’s time to find our local food banks and help out with donations and volunteer hours if you are able.

All US presidents used to honor the doctrine that politics stops at the water’s edge. They’d never trash predecessors, disparage America, or meddle in foreign affairs abroad. Trump did all that today in Israel. Yet lost Republicans are hailing him as the greatest statesman since Talleyrand.

At 3:30 pm off S. Interstate-5, on 10.15.25, Border Patrol deployed a 1/4 mile N. of the San Onofre nuke plant observing I-5 traffic off to the right of the S. I-5. It is the job of a #FreePress to monitor the actions of our public servants and inform #CivilSociety. @democracywatchnews.bsky.social

Reports show the Musk brothers & Jeffrey Epstein were close enough that #Epstein introduced Kimbal Musk to a woman, referred to as "Epstein's exgirlfriend", who Kimbal dated from 2011–2012. Epstein saw it as a trade to create access to Musk's companies. #OpDeathEaters
