Even the most ardent supporters of President Trump should be able to say, "While I agree with X, Y and Z policies, I do not agree with how ICE and DHS are behaving and believe they should stand down."
You shouldn't be scared to give critical feedback to the 47th administration -- they need it.

Breaking: Republican candidate for Minnesota Governor Chris Madel drops out of the race.
“I can’t look my daughters in the eye and say I’m running as a Republican, when they’re pulling over Hispanics and Asians because of the color of the skin... I did not sign up for that.”

Statement from Veterans For Responsible Leadership
January 24, 2026:
Today, Veterans For Responsible Leadership mourns the killing of Alex Pretti, a Minnesota resident, U.S. citizen, and healthcare professional who served veterans through his work as a nurse with the Department of Veterans Affairs. Mr. Pretti dedicated his life to caring for others — including those who once wore this nation’s uniform — and his death at the hands of federal immigration agents is a tragedy that should never have occurred.
This incident highlights a deeply disturbing trend: the misuse of ICE agents as a de-facto paramilitary or secret police force operating inside American communities. These agents are being deployed without sufficient training, transparency, or coordination with local authorities, creating fear rather than safety. It is a betrayal of American values and constitutional norms.
We understand the anger and grief this has sparked in Minnesota and beyond. Those emotions are real and justified. But we urge calm. Violence and chaos only deepen the harm. The path forward is peaceful protest, civic action, and sustained public pressure — the very tools that have strengthened this democracy for generations.
We call on Americans to contact their Members of Congress and demand accountability, oversight, and immediate reform of federal enforcement practices that endanger civilian lives. Federal power must never be used to terrorize the people it exists to serve.
As veterans, we swore an oath to defend the Constitution — not a political agenda, not fear, and not unchecked authority. We honor Alex Pretti’s service by demanding a country worthy of it.

What to do when you're not sure what to do:
Build capacity.
Ex:
- Go to bed on time when you’re not sure what to do the next day
- Build an audience when you're not sure what product to sell
- Add goodwill to your email list when you don’t have a promo
- Get in shape when you don’t have dates lined up
- Save money when you're not sure where to invest
The thing about opportunities is that they present themselves to everyone and only people with capacity can both recognize and capitalize on them.
So don’t be in the bleachers when that fat pitch comes. Be at the plate. Ready to swing big.

We’ll never forget the lives we lost on September 11, 2001. Let’s continue to honor their memories, and the courage of our first responders who put themselves in harm’s way.

Vietnam buys $10B per year to the U.S.
Who gives a shit if they tariff themselves 10% or 0% on it?
We buy $150B per year from Vietnam.
And we just self taxed ourselves 50% on all of that for no reason at all.
We deserve what is coming for us.
Economically illiterate society electing economically illiterate leaders to make economically illiterate decisions.
