Welcome to another edition of FT Now! It's been yet another important
week in the news, so let's dive right in! First, Nebraska Gov. Pete
Ricketts is sending state troopers to aid Texas law enforcement dealing
with the migrant crisis in the southern border. Next up, Gov. Ron
DeSantis signed multiple bills this week that boost civics education in
Florida schools. Lastly, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp slammed Atlanta Mayor
Keisha Bottoms over her poor response to surging crime in the city.




Nebraska governor sending state troopers to southern border to meet
Abbott request

What Happened:

Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts announced this week that he will send state
troopers to Texas in order to aid law enforcement dealing with the
crisis at the southern border.

Why You Should Care:

With the Biden Administration pretty absent and unwilling to help fix
the border crisis, Gov. Ricketts responded to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey's request for governors to consider sending
law enforcement to help.

DeSantis Signs Law Requiring Students To Learn 'Evils Of Communism,'
'Real Patriots' Who Escaped It

What Happened:

Gov. Ron DeSantis signed three bills into law that boost civics
education for highschool and postsecondary students in Florida.

Why You Should Care:

The bills require students to learn about the evils of communism and
totalitarian regimes in comparison to American principles of freedom and
democracy. The legislation also creates a library of personal stories of
individuals who escaped communist countries like Venezuela and Cuba.

What Happens Next:

Gov. DeSantis has focused on supporting patriotic education in response
to efforts from the left to impose critical race theory-based
curriculums in public schools. This legislation seems to be only the
beginning of his targeted efforts to protect Florida's students from
divisive and inaccurate education.

'Fed up' Georgia Gov. Kemp rips ATL mayor who blames crime surges on
COVID reopenings

What Happened:

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp slammed Atlanta Mayor Keisha Bottoms after she
blamed the current crime wave in the city on Republican-led pandemic
reopenings.

Why You Should Care:

According to Gov. Kemp, one of the biggest causes of rising crime in
Atlanta is the left's disrespect and poor treatment of law
enforcement: "Getting Georgians back to work, back to school, and back
to normal didn't lead to more crime. The left's anti-police,
soft-on-crime agenda is to blame." Who do you think is correct?

What Happens Next:

While crime continues to rise under Mayor Bottoms' watch, Gov. Kemp
has already been helping with a crime suppression unit made of state and
local law enforcement. However, this is only a temporary measure so
hopefully Mayor Bottoms will step up and allow law enforcement to do its
job.

Did you know?

In 2021, there are TWO governor's races: New Jersey and Virginia. Both
governor's mansions are currently held by Democrats, but this
November, voters have a chance to turn them red. If you're interested
in becoming part of the growing movement to take back New Jersey and
Virginia, consider joining the relevant Facebook groups and spread the
word!
