Following my victory in the recent election, I see my mandate as bringing “common sense” to the country. My win signifies a desire for change and a new direction for the nation. Addressing the border and implementing deportations are critical priorities, and I am committed to fulfilling these promises without compromising on my core principles. While the cost of these initiatives is not a concern, I remain dedicated to finding fiscally responsible solutions that benefit all Americans.

President-elect Trump plans to implement a large-scale deportation operation, targeting millions of undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. This ambitious effort, estimated to cost over $967 billion, would utilize the full force of federal, state, and local law enforcement to identify, detain, and deport individuals. The operation could significantly impact various sectors of the American economy, including agriculture, construction, and service industries, and may result in legal challenges from immigrant rights groups. Trump has promised to reinstate previous immigration policies, including those that targeted undocumented immigrants accused of crimes, and has expressed a desire to end programs like Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, impacting the lives of thousands.

Mike Davis, a fierce ally of President-elect Donald Trump, has issued a stark warning to New York Attorney General Letitia James. Davis, who has been considered for a high-ranking position in the Trump administration, believes James’ continued legal pursuit of Trump constitutes a “conspiracy against rights” and could violate federal law. He has threatened legal action against James if she continues her legal challenges, arguing that the Trump administration will have no tolerance for such “lawfare.” Davis warns that James should consider the potential consequences of her actions, including potential criminal charges, and that her “lawfare” against Trump will not be tolerated in his second term.

In the wake of Donald Trump’s election victory, French President Emmanuel Macron issued a call to action for the European Union. He challenged European nations to become more assertive in defending their own interests, likening the current state of the EU to a “herbivore” vulnerable to “carnivores” like the United States and China. Macron advocated for a more assertive stance, urging the EU to embrace an “omnivore” approach to safeguard its interests. This call for European independence echoes Macron’s previous efforts to reduce dependence on trading partners and comes as the EU outlines its ambitions for the future, including supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia.

Despite fervent claims of election fraud in 2020, a subset of Trump supporters fell silent as Trump’s 2024 victory became apparent, attributing the lack of “stolen” votes to their own vigilant efforts. While claims of widespread fraud were unsubstantiated, online denial persisted until election results favored Trump, suggesting a strategy to undermine Democratic wins. While some left-leaning skepticism emerged, it was quickly quelled by Democratic leaders’ acceptance of the results. Conversely, election deniers embraced the smooth election process as a testament to their efforts, overlooking the contributions of poll workers and attributing isolated incidents to Democratic manipulation.

Despite the recent election, I remain dedicated to serving the American people and will continue working diligently on my domestic agenda until my term concludes. As one example, I have taken action to restrict oil drilling in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, reversing a policy put in place by my predecessor. Furthermore, I will continue to support Ukraine through the provision of humanitarian and military aid, in direct opposition to the incoming administration’s plans to reduce US support for Kyiv. With 74 days left, I am determined to make every day count and leave a lasting positive impact on our nation.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has called for a special legislative session to protect progressive policies on climate change, reproductive rights, and immigration in anticipation of a second Trump presidency. The governor, who is seen as a potential presidential candidate in 2028, aims to “Trump-proof” California by increasing funding for the attorney general’s office to combat potential federal challenges. This move reflects a growing nationwide trend among Democratic states seeking to shield policies that face threats under a Trump administration, with other states like New York and Massachusetts also taking proactive measures. Newsom’s actions are part of a renewed resistance movement, with California positioned as a key stronghold for progressive policies and a symbol of opposition to Trump’s conservative agenda.

Following Donald Trump’s US presidential election victory, women are experiencing a surge of online misogyny, with men using the slogan “your body, my choice” to express their opposition to reproductive rights. This slogan, originally used by feminists to advocate for bodily autonomy, is now being twisted to assert control over women’s bodies. The recent overturning of Roe v Wade, a landmark decision guaranteeing the right to abortion, has emboldened anti-abortion activists, leading to a climate of fear and uncertainty for women. Despite the lack of a federal ban on abortion, state-level laws are already severely restricting access to reproductive healthcare, putting women’s health and well-being at risk.
