MAHA Part 2: America the Titanic
Breeauna Sagdal leads a clarion Call-To-Action + RS June, Ginger Hill Angus, and Restoring What's Been Lost
Intro Context: MAHA’s Local Foundations
In last week’s MAHA: The Work Ahead, we laid out the blueprint for reclaiming America’s food systems, health, and sovereignty through local action. This week, we’re diving deeper into the lifeblood of the MAHA movement: the frameworks and stories that demonstrate how meaningful change happens from the ground up. Breeauna Sagdal’s policy analysis, co-written with Andrea Shaffer and Lisa Logan, is a clarion call to dismantle the federal systems of control that have hollowed out America’s local governance. Paired with RS June’s deeply personal reflections on his journey through Virginia, these pieces illustrate the power of restoring health and freedom at the community level.
When it comes to solutions, top-down authority rarely heals what it disrupts. Breeauna’s research exposes how federal executive orders have been wielded to undermine private property rights, local food systems, and even individual health choices—all in the name of “resilience” and “equity.” Meanwhile, June’s journey with Texas Slim shows us the antidote: the resilience of individuals and ranching communities who are keeping America’s food systems alive.
Breeauna Sagdal’s Policy Blueprint: “America the Titanic”
Breeauna Sagdal, alongside Andrea Shaffer and Lisa Logan, published America the Titanic, a critical policy analysis that warns of America’s precarious state under centralized federal overreach. The piece draws a bold analogy: America is akin to the Titanic after hitting the iceberg, and the incoming Trump administration must act swiftly to prevent total disaster.
Key Takeaways from America the Titanic:
Unlocking Local Control: Breeauna’s analysis highlights how Biden-era executive orders—such as EO 14008 (Justice40) and EO 14091 (Equity Teams)—centralized control over zoning, water rights, and land use. Through federal mandates and ideologically aligned NGOs, these orders strip local governments of autonomy, replacing them with a federal agenda shaped by global frameworks like the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
The Role of AI and Data: The federal plan integrates AI-driven tools to remap land, rank citizens’ “resilience,” and enforce compliance. This digital infrastructure extends into food programs, SNAP, and disaster recovery, transforming them into systems of behavioral control.
Reversing the Damage: Sagdal argues for strategic, immediate action to revoke key executive orders and halt funding pipelines to federal programs that subvert local authority. Without swift action, the systemic erosion of property rights and local sovereignty will be irreversible.
Call to Action: Breeauna’s work is not just a critique; it’s a roadmap. Her policy recommendations aim to restore decentralized governance and empower local communities to reclaim their autonomy.
Ruffshot’s Reflection: Finding Resilience in the Blue Ridge Mountains
At Ginger Hill Angus in Virginia, RS June found more than just a ranch; he found a place that reconnected him to the soil and the food systems that sustain life. The ranch, owned by Dr. Brooke Miller and his wife, Ann, was hosting a Beef Initiative Summit. June witnessed firsthand how local ranchers are holding the line against the forces of centralization.
“As I walked the pastures, I couldn’t help but reflect on my own journey. I thought back to the apartment complexes, row homes, and overdeveloped suburbs I grew up in, to microwaved meals and the moments when I’d been too disconnected to question where my food came from. Standing here in Virginia, I felt a kind of grief for everything that had been lost along the way, but also a fierce resolve to restore it.”
June’s reflections remind us that food sovereignty is not just about policies—it’s about healing the disconnect between ourselves, our communities, and the land. It’s about finding meaning in the simplest act of knowing where your food comes from.
Breeauna on Children’s Health Defense: Connecting the Dots
In a recent appearance on Financial Rebellion with Catherine Austin Fitts, Breeauna Sagdal further illuminated how centralized systems undermine local sovereignty. She explains how executive orders funnel federal funding through NGOs and corporate partnerships, bypassing constitutional protections and enforcing a “social credit system” that governs land use, food access, and health data. Breeauna’s insights reinforce the urgency of dismantling these structures, pointing to the growing use of AI tools to control individuals’ choices—down to the food they consume.

Why Local Action Matters: The MAHA Connection
The stories and insights from Breeauna and RS June converge on a single truth: the most effective resistance to centralized control is local action. The MAHA movement thrives when individuals take ownership of their communities—whether it’s through policy advocacy, as Breeauna demonstrates, or through boots-on-the-ground connection, as June’s journey exemplifies.
