Good evening Kentucky. Trump won your state by over 30%. Your zombie senator, McConnell voted against Pete Hegseth for SECDEF. He does not represent you. Clean up your house and expel him.

The Miami Dade Sheriff sadly announced the death of the legendary Retired Major and current Police Reserve Officer Grace O’Donnell. A true pioneer for women in law enforcement.

Rest Easy Sister. Prayers for her family of blue and blood. 🙏🏽

There are currently no Red Flag Warnings or Fire Weather Watches in effect in Southern California, however strong southerly winds across the mountains and deserts are expected Saturday afternoon and bring near critical fire weather conditions to areas of San Diego County. A low-pressure system is likely to bring precipitation on Sunday and Monday to much of coastal Southern California. With rain in the forecast, it’s important to stay alert to the increased risk of debris flows in areas recently impacted by #wildfires in Los Angeles.
