We will always stand with Stephen Colbert.

If that addict on your street were your own son, what would you do? That is the defining question that guides my 5 step plan to fix the homelessness problem in LA. We *must* end this evil racket of corrupt politicians and NGOs who profit off the misery of these poor souls. They launder money and feed them more drugs, so they can keep their customers locked in this hell on our streets. We have a moral obligation from God to help them and make our city safe and clean for everyone. Karen Bass and Nithya Raman have forsaken this city. Time for real leadership. Time for real compassion.

In Austin, you can walk your dogs on a quiet Sunday morning and get randomly shot. "I don't know why they would shoot me." Sean Fuentes keeps repeating it from his hospital bed. A car ran a stop sign in southeast Austin and three men opened fire. The first shot dropped him, and he felt the rest hitting the dirt next to his face as the shooters stayed and emptied the clip trying to execute him. Bear crawling home, he heard his late father's voice -- a Marine who served two tours in Vietnam: "It's go time." He crawled and walked a block and a half home bleeding. His wife saw the dogs running back alone, leashes dragging. Three teenagers stole a 9mm Glock from a shop on Ben White, took a stolen car, and spent the weekend firing into homes, vehicles, and strangers across Austin. 105 rounds across 21 incidents with four people shot. Sean’s twin sister is in the ICU waiting room with him, and wants justice: "They stayed there and shot him multiple times and then watched him. Like, you're watching somebody die.... I want to see them prosecuted to the full extent. They should be tried as adults."

As a former federal law enforcement officer, I share Virginians' concerns about federal immigration enforcement officers wearing masks on American streets — undercutting basic expectations of accountability, sowing fear and confusion, and eroding public trust. Kids afraid to get on the school bus. Workers not showing up to their jobs. Neighbors scared to go to the grocery store. That's what aggressive federal immigration enforcement is doing to Virginia communities. Today, I signed Executive Order 16 to: 🔹 Ban ICE from using state property as an operations base 🔹 Require federal immigration officers to show warrants before accessing state property 🔹 Launch a Know Your Rights website for Virginians affected by federal immigration enforcement to access resources and guidance 🔹 Provide guidance for employees at courthouses, schools, polling locations, and healthcare facilities when federal officers attempt to conduct immigration enforcement
