"Elon #Musk set to tighten his grip over South #Texas community"

I originally was going to make a snide remark about Waco Branch Davidians

but i think it's more useful to direct the attention of #Denmark here

this is the model for how the American goons would use subterfuge to exert influence on #Greenland: buy their way in locally

there's other billionaire funded efforts in the #USA to take over an area and make their "utopia"

be wary of this angle Denmark

“It’s almost as though some members have been told how to vote, and they aren’t looking at the policy. They’re just following directions.”

Our top story: Despite monumental opposition, Governor Greg Abbott finally made his goal of undermining public schools a reality ... with a little help from President Trump. https://www.texasobserver.org/abbott-trump-house-vouchers-pass/

'Doesn't make sense': Red states left unspared in Trump funding slash across the US

#ICYMI: “People are scared to go out because they go out with their kids, and they don’t want to go to a place where (people are) going to show up with guns to check whether they’re a U.S. citizen or not. That was very upsetting for a lot of people.”

Measles exploded in Texas after stagnant vaccine funding. New cuts threaten the same across the US

> The #measles outbreak in West Texas didn’t happen just by chance.

> The easily preventable disease, declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000, ripped through communities sprawling across more than 20 Texas counties in part because health departments were starved of the funding needed to run vaccine programs, officials say.

DEAR GOD. 🤦♂️

#RFKJr IS NOT A DOCTOR. HE HAS NO FORMAL MEDICAL TRAINING.

And he's pushing junk/quack "science", "miracle cures", AND PRAYER as cures for deadly contagions like #Measles... praising a doctor in #Texas who is seeing unvaxinated children WHILE HE HIMSELF HAS THE (incurable) DISEASE.

AND CONSIDER: RFK is running just one dept (#HHS). The guy who appointed him is running THE ENTIRE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THE SAME WAY (from #NationalSecurity to the #Economy.)
