As an enrolled member of the Pueblo of Laguna, Haaland is the first Native American in American history to serve as a cabinet secretary. For her, it’s personal. That’s partly why she launched the administration’s Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative in 2021, which is culminating with this formal apology to Indigenous communities on behalf of the United States of America.
The former New Mexico Democratic congresswoman’s grandma was sent to a Catholic boarding school some 125 miles away from her home, but “it could have been 1,000 miles because her dad only had a horse and wagon.”
“She told me he was able to only visit her twice during the five years she was there. Her time there, her dad's time at boarding school, that affected my life, and I didn't realize how much it affected my life right until I got a little bit older,” Haaland said. “So this is important.”
The warning was followed by a long list of headlined promises, followed by direct quotes from Trump vowing to carry them out. After every warning title were the repeated words, colored red and published in capital letters: “BELIEVE HIM.”
The highlighted promises are:
Trump says he will use the Justice Department to punish people he doesn’t like. BELIEVE HIM
Trump says he will round up and deport millions of immigrants. BELIEVE HIM
Trump says he will deploy the American military against U.S. citizens. BELIEVE HIM
Trump says he will allow vigilante violence to end crime. BELIEVE HIM
Trump says he will order the military to strike foreign civilian targets if the United States is attacked. BELIEVE HIM
Trump says he will punish blue states by withholding disaster relief. BELIEVE HIM
Trump says he will use ideological tests to decide which public schools get federal money. BELIEVE HIM
Trump says he will use ideological tests to decide which public schools get federal money. BELIEVE HIM
Trump says he will abandon U.S. allies. BELIEVE HIM
“His rallies offer a steady stream of such promises and threats,” the Editorial Board added.
Republican strategist Tricia McLaughlin tried to defend former President Donald Trump against charges of being a fascist by falsely claiming that fascism is a left-wing socialist political ideology.
At this point, McLaughlin tried to deflect from the issue by denying that fascism is a right-wing political ideology at all, despite the fact that it is defined as an ideology"that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition."
Additionally, when Nazis took power in the 1930s, socialists and communists were among the first people whom they targeted for political persecution.
"Fascism is rooted in socialism!" she said. "So we've got to get the definition correct because Donald Trump by no means is a socialist."
Democratic strategist Matt Bennett also issued a fact check of his own, saying, "Socialism and fascism are very very different. Fascism is right-wing authoritarianism."
A discussion with CNBC host Andrew Ross Sorkin on Donald Trump's standing with Wall Street executives quickly turned to the controversial Ackman who has become notorious for his extended diatribes on social media aimed at his critics who have called out his attempts to rationalize Trump's actions.
During his recent appearance on CNBC, the billionaire investor dismissed Trump's reported admiration for Adolf Hitler while also blaming Russia's invasion of neighboring Georgia during President George W. Bush's administration on President Joe Biden.
