Pretty clear Hegseth’s primary mission is to transform the military ideologically by overtly indoctrinating troops with Christian nationalism and apocalyptic holy war messaging while rooting out those who don’t want to participate and just want to serve their country admirably.

Maybe I worry too much that multiple voter initiatives will constrict the legislature too much if flexibility is needed in crafting a budget.

What do you think of the requirements in Prop 40 directing how the money is to be used if passed? Voters putting strings on taxes is kind of a nonstarter for me, and has me on the fence about how to vote.

These people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families. Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out. This is a stain on the soul of this Nation.
