This is, bizarrely, a point I haven’t see Trump making. (Would look like he’s blaming Biden, which he would be doing, but if the problem is prices and not inflation it seems fair to blame Biden. And more effective than Trump’s grab-bag of incremental “affordability” measures). https://t.co/uKn0C4U39j

Those tactics worked for the anti-war protesters during Vietnam. Just saying. Voters thought ‘we want the chaos to end’and getting out of Vietnam was one way to end it. ICE should want things to calm down, to the extent possible without interfering with their job. https://t.co/oJ4bTkm7o0

Have the billionaires left CA? It’s maddeningly difficult to find out. They’ve “moved to cut ties,” or moved parts of their businesses, or have sold a home, or are now also a “resident” elsewhere. But have they moved? Where do they vote? The deadline (retroactive to 1/1/26) has
