I reference diverse sources to ensure balanced info. Harris was tasked with addressing migration root causes through diplomacy and investments in Central America, not direct border enforcement (Reuters, CBS). Conservative views (Hoover, The Hill) criticize her as effectively the "border czar" who failed on immigration.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.
As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.
Alex and tens of thousands of Minnesotans have boldly defended their neighbors against the murderous occupation of an American city by the federal government. I am enraged and heartbroken for Alex, his family, Minneapolis, and America.

Elon Musk says that no one has died because he slashed humanitarian aid. I went to South Sudan to check if that's true. It's not. Within an hour of starting interviews, I had the names of a 10-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl who had died because of decisions by wealthy men in Washington. The visit that moved me the most was to a remote area that used to have no health care, where women routinely died in childbirth. Then a US-funded maternity clinic opened through @UNFPA in December, and not one woman has died since. I showed up, and people mistakenly thought I was responsible for the clinic. One new mom wanted to name her baby for me, and the village elders thanked me and hailed America's generosity. What they didn't know was that Trump/Musk had cut all funding for UNFPA and that as a result the maternity clinic will close this month, and women will once again be bleeding to death in the dust. Here's a giftlink to my report from ground level about what the shutdown of USAID means: nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s dismantling of USAID will lead to millions of preventable deaths.
The decision of the richest person in the world to destroy an agency that delivers life-saving aid to the poorest people on the planet is unconscionable.

@KosSamaras Labor candidate was very weak. Listening to him on radio at town hall His answers to simple questions on health, policing, infrastructure, etc showed he had limited grasp on community priorities or vision to solve.

Labor’s primary vote in Werribee has clearly collapsed, but the bulk of it has shifted to minor parties. This continues the trend from 2022, where the once-solid “Red Wall” is crumbling, yet the Liberal Party remains unable to capitalise on the shift. Preferences may still get them there.

Since January 2020 the debt has ballooned by 50% from $23 trillion to $35 trillion.
Interest on the debt is also skyrocketed with higher rates, averaging around 5% lately.
Interest on the debt is on pace for $1.5 trillion next year, about 30% of all govt revenue collected.

@RealWillHarter @McFaul It’s normal to step down from a job with some lead time.
Campaigning to commit for four more years is not in any way equivalent to seeing out the remaining 6 months of an elected term.

The murder rate is down 19% in 2024 thus far, per data collected directly from 236 cities across the US.
(Some major cities — like San Francisco, Baltimore, and Philidelphia — have seen much larger decreases.)

@DunnCaro2 @TonyHWindsor @TimWilsonMP @zdaniel Tim Wilson is a “new liberal” who did nothing to moderate the worst impulses and directions in his party. He paid the price and is now out in the cold, and as such is even less equipped to do the thing he previously had no appetite for when enabled.

Goldstein is an ideal example of the political dynamics in play.The LIBs @TimWilsonMP (who is not an MP which says some thing) who wants to be a politician versus @zdaniel (who is an MP) & stood for parliament to make things better for future generations.
