The city assessor for San Francisco, Juaquin Torres, was just speaking to a crowd in favor of illegal aliens, and is calling for, "Hard-favored rage. Rage for justice. Rage for community. Rage for our rights."
[the definition of rage is "extreme or violent anger"]
Arizona attorney general [press conference]: Without these dollars [federal funds frozen by President Trump], states like Arizona will be unable to pay public safety employees, cops on the street, satisfy contractual obligations, and carry on the important business of government…rural healthcare and hospital systems will collapse, and children will go without school meals.
[is Arizona bankrupt? they can't pay their own police without federal money?]
>"The military did not enter California"
The Army Corps of Engineers is in California for wildfire assistance, and appear to be the ones who 'turned on the water'.
Democrats seem to be throwing a bigger fit over losing federal funds than over mass-deportations. They must have been able to steal large amounts from these programs.
Arizona attorney general. The [federal] money was flowing. We had a portal that we were accessing under the law.
[every transaction from that 'portal' should be audited]
LiveNOW reporting that a federal judge has temporarily blocked President Trump's freeze on federal grants and loans.
[key word is 'temporarily']
AUSTIN, TEXAS: "Texas Governor Greg Abbott is directing DPS to send out its tactical strike team to help President Trump's homeland security operations locating and arresting "criminal" migrants in the state illegally. The DPS tactical strike team is going to be helping the newly-established Homeland Security Task Force as they aim to arrest 5,400 migrants with active warrants across Texas. The strike team includes DPS troopers, Special Agents, and Texas Rangers, according to a news release sent out by the Governor's Office today.
“Texas is expanding our operations to assist President Donald Trump to protect Americans and enforce the rule of law,” said Governor Abbott. “Today, I directed the Texas Department of Public Safety to deploy tactical strike teams to work alongside our federal partners to enforce immigration laws throughout the state. These teams will coordinate with Homeland Security agencies to track down the thousands of illegal immigrants with active warrants across Texas and deport them from our country. After four years of failed policies, Texas finally has a partner in President Trump. Together, we will end this crisis and make America safe once again.”
Yesterday, ABC-7 reported that Abbott was sending 400 troops and other military assistance to help President Trump's efforts along the border in Texas."

Rampant toll-dodging would be an interesting reason to get rid of the 'cashless' toll system:
NEW YORK CITY: "Outrage mounted in the Big Apple Monday after the revelation the MTA lost $5.1 billion in unpaid tolls and fees over four years, while drivers doing the right thing are forced to pay more. The massive unpaid collections at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s nine bridges and tunnels surpasses the estimated $500 million to $800 million expected to be generated annually from the new $9 first-in-the-nation congestion toll to enter Midtown Manhattan south of 60th Street.
“They should collect from the toll violators,” added Nespoli, who has appealed to President Trump to kill congestion pricing. “Right now, the law-abiding working people are paying for them [the deadbeats].”
Deadbeat drivers racked up $5B in unpaid MTA tolls in 4 years, and closing booths to go ‘cashless’ may be to blame."
