Vice President Kamala Harris is calling on red state governors to accept the consequences of open border policies.

In a Vice interview, Harris railed against Republican governors on a number of issues. After claiming that America can’t fight for democracy without federal abortion laws, Harris redirected her ire towards the federally shared migrant burden. Specifically, the Democrat was not fond of migrants being shipped to her home, the Naval Observatory.

Unlike the rest of the country, Harris’s doors were closed to non-residents. She further lambasted governors Greg Abbott (R-Texas) and Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) for shipping illegal entrants into the country to sanctuary jurisdictions such as Chicago and Washington D.C..

Cities that once prided themselves on welcoming migrants have found it difficult to support individuals who have entered the United States with nothing. More than three quarters of the migrants shipped to New York City are living in the Big Apple’s shelter system. Illinois has deployed the National Guard while shipping migrants to hotels in the Chicago suburbs. This comes much to the chagrin of their Republican mayors.

D.C. Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser has put $10 million towards dealing with what she has declared to be a public emergency. She is expecting federal reimbursement. However, Harris has accused states such as Texas of voiding their responsibility for the crisis even though Governor Abbott is a staunch supporter of President Trump’s styled border security.

“You know, doing it for the sake of a headline, what we’re seeing with these governors is irresponsible and it’s inhumane,” Harris said. “The height of irresponsibility, much less frankly a dereliction of duty, when you are an elected leader to play those kinds of games with human lives and human beings.”

Her policies for average Americans are quite different. Harris has struggled to understand why many disapprove of the administration’s handling of the border. Although authorities are on track to make 2.3 million border crossings this year, the border czar has blamed the crisis on the Trump Administration.

“There are, there are a variety of components to this. One is the fact that under the previous administration they decimated a system that was designed to address immigration,” she said. “And so, we have been spending in the last 18 months we’ve been in office. We have been spending an incredible amount of time, work and resources to reconstruct that system.”

As migrants continue to take buses out of Texas, Harris will be flying to Austin, Texas on October 8th to bolster the Lone Star State Democrats with the Biden administration’s track record.

Christians across the country are criticizing California’s Governor Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) for using a bible verse to push a pro-abortion agenda.

Newsom took to Twitter on Thursday. There he shared pictures of billboards that will be put up in pro-life states such as Texas, Oklahoma and Mississippi.

One of the signs quoted Mark 12:31, where Jesus says, “Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no greater commandment than these.” Catholic priests and Christians responded negatively to the campaign. They said the billboard is “one of the worst distortions of a bible passage.”

NASA prepares to test a new planetary defense system. The system is designed to fend off asteroids that might hit earth.

On Thursday, NASA representatives held a press conference to explain DART. DART stands for Double Asteroid Redirection Test. The organization also answered questions about the project. The DART test will collide a small satellite with an asteroid with the hopes of redirecting its orbit around a larger asteroid. Tom Statler, a NASA scientist working on the DART program, spoke about the new planetary defense system and the tests it will undergo.

“The first test is the test of our ability to build an autonomously guided spacecraft that will actually achieve the kinetic impact on the asteroid,” he said. “The second test is the test of how the actual asteroid responds to the kinetic impact, because at the end of the day, the real question is how effectively did we move the asteroid? And can this technique of kinetic impact be used in the future if we ever needed to? ”

The satellite was originally launched in November of last year. It is expected to collide with its target on Monday evening.

A federal judge has rejected MyPillow CEO’s Mike Lindell’s request to block federal authorities from accessing his recently seized cell phone.

In a decision on Thursday, a United States district court judge ruled against Lindell’s motion for a temporary restraining order and for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to return the phone. Judge Eric Tostrud, who a Trump appointee, said that Lindell did not properly answer the legal questions that were required to make the request.

Lindell is suing the DOJ and FBI over allegations that the seizure of his phone may have been illegal. The CEO’s phone was seized by the FBI at a Hardee’s drive-thru in Minnesota. The Trump-supporting business executive has not been charged with a crime or has accused of wrongdoing by authorities. A hearing date in Lindell’s case against the federal government has yet to be set.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) commented on a possible Joe Biden re-election campaign.

When speaking to reporters Thursday, Pelosi was pressed about her thoughts on Biden’s 60 Minutes interview. During the interview, the president reiterated his intentions to run again in 2024.

The House Speaker refused to answer the question and instead praised Biden for his performance in the Oval Office. Pelosi went on to say that she would not divulge her thoughts on the issue.

“President Biden is the president of the United States, he did a great service to our country, he defeated Donald trump, let’s not forget that. Everything we care about, the air we breathe, the water we drink, the education for our children, jobs for their families, pensions for our seniors, any subject you can name. I’m not going into politics about whether the president should run.”

Pelosi’s statements come amid division among Democrats over Biden’s 2024 prospects.

45^th President Donald J. Trump could be back on Facebook as soon as next year.

Nick Clegg, Meta’s President for Global Affairs, announced that the company will make a decision on Trump’s account by January 2023. On Thursday, Clegg also said that Meta is consulting with experts and third parties about whether or not they should allow the former president back on the platform.

The Meta executive also notably expressed his concerns that the company could become “the greatest industrial-scale censor ever in human history” if its platforms censor too much content. The decision on whether or not to allow Trump back on the platform will be made by January 7, 2023. The former president is currently undergoing a two-year suspension from Facebook.
