🔴🔴BREAKING NEWS🔴🔴
Seventy-Two Killed Resisting Gun Confiscation In Massachusetts.

A National Guard task-force detailed to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault-style weapons, was ambushed by elements of an anti-Government, para-military extremist faction.

Military & law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw.

Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement.

Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the group’s organizers as “treasonous criminals,” issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government’s efforts to secure law and order.

The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault-style weapons.

Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting in early this month between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible confiscation of illegal arms.

One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out that “none of these people would have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily.”

Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition.

However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government’s plans.

During a tense standoff in the Lexington town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists. Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange.

Ironically, the local citizenry blamed the government forces rather than the extremists for the civilian deaths. Before order could be restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the National Guard units. Colonel Smith, finding his forces over matched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat.

Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the attack against the government troops.

Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as “ringleaders” of the extremist faction, remain at large.

And this ….is exactly how the American Revolution began, April 19, 1775.

Never let them take your guns.

Yeah. I had to decline transfusion for surgery which was a little scary. But not as scary as getting one!

@TheBabylonBee This makes more sense than the actual decision.

[Mari Marsh @MMarsh51899]

@BoLoudon @realBrandonGill I'm confused. Do taxpayers know their tax money is funding ANY mortgages???

[Mari Marsh @MMarsh51899]

@SenRandPaul Maybe you should be pedaling this to each state to support an actual amemdment.

[Daniel Turner @DanielTurnerPTF]

Black Americans should be outraged with this stolen valor.

The 14th amendment was written for them to right a evil wrong.

Now it’s been intellectually appropriated pretending birth tourists have shared experience as freed slaves.

What a anachronistic and cruel decision.

Random 4 a.m. thought:

Isn’t it absurd that grocery stores solicit customer donations for hunger relief while routinely discarding massive amounts of perfectly good food?

[Mari Marsh @MMarsh51899]

Do it all the way. New amendment to ban birthright citizenship. Just do the whole thing.

[Proud Elephant 🇺🇸🦅 @ProudElephant]

🚨 JUST IN: Congressman Andy Ogles (R-TN) just introduced the Anchors Away Act which BANS certain pregnant women who are seeking to give birth here, from entering the U.S.

DO YOU SUPPORT THIS? ✋🏼

[Mari Marsh @MMarsh51899]

Let's do it. This is ridiculous.

[Sholdon Daniels @SholdonDaniels]

34 states are all it takes.

34 states can petition Congress to hold a convention to amend the Constitution in order to abolish birthright citizenship, enact term limits, and secure our elections from fraud.

6 AM Call to Action

If you have a colleague here on a visa who clearly cannot do their job, report them anonymously - and tell your other colleagues this option exists. Remember the ability to communicate effectively is also a requirement for a visa.

This is how we make it uncomfortable for employers who abuse the system. This is also how we empower the good employers who feel powerless as their teams get flooded with H-1B workers who cannot perform at the expected level.

Every report is required to generate an investigation, eventually. HR may never tell you, but these reports impact financials, policy, and hiring practices over time. It also leads to investigations into whether their academic credentials are valid.

Use the official channels:

- USCIS Tip Form: https://t.co/RvF91BTY75
- Department of Labor Foreign Labor Certification: https://t.co/YxwGF1Q5Nw
- DOL Wage and Hour: 1-866-4-USWAGE (1-866-487-9243)

I prefer online as that leaves an FOIA path that is easily traced.

Quietly share this path with others. When enough people document real performance and communication failures, companies will finally feel pressure to hire Americans who can actually do the work.

AstraZeneca just paid Texas $34 million to make a fraud lawsuit go away.

The exact number was $33,998,000. Big Pharma rounds down when it's their money.

Here's what they got caught doing. 👇

You can't pay a doctor to write your prescriptions. That's a kickback. It's illegal. Everybody knows the rule.

So AstraZeneca got creative.

Instead of handing over cash, they handed over people. Free nurses. Free reimbursement support. Free administrative help — deployed straight into prescriber offices under the label of "non-branded counseling."

They put their own staff inside doctors' offices, dressed it up as patient education, and used it to steer scripts toward AstraZeneca drugs. They even paid outside third parties to do the steering for them.

It's a kickback with a stethoscope.

And here's the part that got Texas involved: a lot of those prescriptions were paid for by Medicaid. So this wasn't just AstraZeneca padding its own numbers — it was taxpayer dollars funding prescriptions that were tainted from the start.

This isn't a one-off, either. Texas has already sued Eli Lilly and Sanofi over the same "free nurse" playbook. A decade ago Lilly and Novo Nordisk faced nearly identical "white coat" allegations tied to insulin. Old tactic. New lawsuits. Expect more settlements coming.

Ken Paxton put it plainly: "I will not allow Big Pharma to misuse taxpayer dollars to put profit ahead of Texans' health."

Great line. One problem.

There's an entire industry that's allowed to put profit ahead of your health — legally.

The PBMs.

Drugmakers get sued into the ground for kickbacks. Meanwhile the middlemen sitting between you and your medicine got a federal exemption from that exact same Anti-Kickback Statute. Same behavior. Legal for them, illegal for everyone else.

So do the math. Your insurer and its PBM make more money when your prescription costs more. Why on earth would the price ever come down?

Somehow Congress got convinced that legalizing kickbacks would lower drug prices. It did the exact opposite. That's not a side effect of the system. That IS the system. It's most of the reason your drugs cost what they cost.

While we wait on Congress to undo the damage it caused, we did the obvious thing.

We fired the middleman.

No PBM. No legal kickbacks baked into your price. Just transparent, cost-plus cash pricing — which is how we hit the lowest-price generics you'll find anywhere.

The Supreme Court got this WRONG.

Texas shouldn’t wait. We should use EVERY legal option to work around it TODAY.

$200B+ of your tax money has gone to educating, incarcerating, & giving “FREE” healthcare to illegal aliens.

As Comptroller, I’ll use every tool I have to STOP IT!

[Alex Feinberg @Alexfeinberg]

Birthright citizenship means A LOT of people are living abroad, as US citizens, and almost certainly not filing their legally required tax returns with the IRS

If we can’t stop birthright citizenship, we can make sure they’re getting harassed by the IRS like real Americans

[Mari Marsh @MMarsh51899]

Yes!!!

[Chief Egregore Officer @ChiefEgregore]

This is what I wish the Trump Admin would say:

We do not agree with the ruling handed down by the Supreme Court today. We do not always agree with the Supreme Court, but this case is different. The Supreme Court's ruling today is not just wrong, but has implications which ultimately threaten to permanently deprive the American People of their nationhood and sovereignty.

While the Supreme Court has long claimed Judicial Supremacy, meaning that they proclaim themselves to have the final say on all matters with respect to the law, and while this is generally accepted within normal times, there is historical precedent for the Executive to overrule the Supreme Court in matters of supreme national interest. We believe this is one of those critical moments where the Executive must exercise his check on the powers of the Judiciary to not uphold their rulings with the force of the Executive Branch.

The Judicial Branch is the least representative of the people as it is the only branch of the State which is not democratically selected. The President, by contrast, consistently gets the most electoral turnout within our political system, meaning the office of the President and the mandate he was elected on are generally the most representative of the actual will of the American People.

The Supreme Court ruling today not only frustrates the delivery of that mandate, but is so outrageous in its implications for our national sovereignty and security that to allow this interpretation to stand would be irresponsible if not outright suicidal for our nation.

And so the Office of the President, empowered by the sovereignty entrusted to him by the American people, in this case has concluded it must exercise that sovereignty to decide the exception. We must take exception to the Judicial Supremacy clause binding the other branches to the Supreme Courts rulings.

The Trump administration does not recognize this ruling as valid, and will enforce Executive Order 14160, "Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship," as originally ordered.

The Court has made their ruling. Now let them enforce it.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[Mari Marsh @MMarsh51899]

Maybe since states issue birth certificates, the ruling means states can do whatever they want regarding this?

[TheTexasOne @TexasRepublic71]

Brian Harrison is demanding a special session to MAKE IT A FELONY TO ENGAGE IN BIRTH TOURISM IN TEXAS, stop issuing birth certificates to non-citizens, and more after SCOTUS' absurd birthright citizenship ruling!
