Nevada has avoided a large-scale ICE deployment so far. Why? - The Nevada Independent
The state hasn’t resisted Trump’s immigration agenda as overtly as some peers, though observers say it’s naive to think that a crackdown couldn’t happen here.

What sucks is that life could be *so* easy, so fucking easy. There is so much stuff rotting in storage units, in garages, nearly half of all food goes to waste, there's enough clothing for the next *6* generations! We don't even need to be working really at all, our ancestors broke down their bodies to build all this shit, the least we could do is slow down to actually utilize and fairly distribute it all. Instead, we all suffer endlessly while 8 men control half the world's wealth. Fuck

I just informed Senator Ron Johnson that, based on his request, I am approving $29.8 Million Dollars for the wonderful State of Wisconsin to help them recover from the major storms and flooding they experienced in August. We had Huge Victories in Wisconsin in 2016, 2020, and 2024, and it is my Honor to deliver BIG for Wisconsinites!

I just got off the phone with our wonderful Republican Leader John Thune. I am approving over $500,000 for the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate Tribe in the Great State of South Dakota for the terrible Storms and Flooding they endured in June. I love the people of South Dakota, who voted for me in Historic Margins in 2016, 2020, and 2024. Together, we will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
