Last week, I was down in Yuma at the Arizona-Mexico Border. In 2021, under 94 executive orders, our government has enabled the migration of an estimated 10M to cross our borders without papers.
With no guidance from the federal government, the border towns were (and still are) left to deal with this all on their own. A small group of local citizens, through the heroic leadership of
@jwlines
, self-organized when the masses started coming.
Amanda Aguirre's community health center, changed their entire operating model to support the processing of migrants - Over 200K - at just her center alone.
They want it to stop now because they cannot continue living like this. It has passed the tipping point.
Thank you
@CClemOfficial
for letting me see this up close. We the people transcend party lines. Our leadership needs to start figuring that out now.
Watch this clip from the day - more coming soon.

.@CBS just sent this to me:
โI have received a letter from Rep. Ro Khanna, intended for Nicole Shanahan, urging her to step down as RFK Jr.'s running mate. In the letter, Rep. Khanna warns Shanahan that supporting Kennedy could aid Trump's return to the White House and have negative environmental consequences. According to Khanna, Shanahan sought his advice before accepting Kennedy's offer. CBS News plans to publish this story tomorrow morning. If you would like to comment, please note that my deadline is this evening.โ
This is my full response to CBS (I want to bring this discussion back to the people, because I am beholden to you the people and not the corporate press):
"In my conversation with Ro he congratulated me on the position and encouraged me to run, stating that every American has the right to run in this country. He stated that we live in a democracy, and it was wrong for anyone to threaten me against running.
Clearly, Ro has changed his stance based on pressure from the party. I hope he understands how anti-democratic it is to ask someone to step down from a race that empowers the American public to make their own decisions.
I am very disappointed that he has been pressured into issuing this letter to me publicly. He could have called me privately. He has my direct line."
As this journey begins, Iโm committed to having conversations so that we can together, move the needle in a positive direction.
I believe in my heart, America can and will HEAL. This is the right side of history.
Thanks to Rick Rubin for hosting me on his podcast.
