Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.
Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.
But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.
20 White House cabinet members have directed at least $30 million in spending that benefitted President Trump since 2023.
Only three out of 23 members have not in some way helped pad Trump’s political coffers, pet projects or personal bottom line. 🧵
So very sorry for your kitty and you.
Can't it be both?

Better headline: Republicans refuse to fund FEMA, TSA and CISA during their DHS shutdown.
It goes back to Regan and the Fairness Doctrine, which allowed "Fox News" and right-wing radio.
If this is enacted, Florida will be sued.
"Florida lawmakers are poised to approve sweeping new restrictions that would require voters to prove their citizenship status, as well as remove student ID as an acceptable form of voter identification." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.
May he never find work again!
USAID public servants lost our careers, pensions, and healthcare. Some lost their homes. Some lost their children’s tuition. Some colleagues died by suicide. Now we learn our Social Security numbers were stolen and exposed too.

I learned about a brilliant project yesterday to support British Sign Language (BSL) users, creating new signs for scientific terms in chemistry, oceanography, data science & more.
And they're fabulously descriptive. Do have a look and share!

Obviously the GOP has run the numbers on how many people will be disenfranchised from voting in the midterms if they pass the Save America Act. Enough to prevent the democratic rescue of our democracy.
Please, someone find those reports. We’d love to see them.
The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.
It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

I asked President Trump about the FBI reportedly seizing election records in Arizona. He said they must have done that because it was a “rigged” election. I pointed out to him that his own AG said there was not measurable voter fraud to overturn that election. Then he called me a rotten reporter.

Are we still looking for waste, fraud, and abuse? I think I found some.
In Other News.......
The problem isn't voter fraud, it's the frauds we're told to vote for.

Keep calling out Fox BS propaganda, this is so disrespectful to both Dignified Transfers just to make Trump look good
Spent some time in Iowa and went long on Iowa State’s Audi Crooks. Despite her dominance, she deals with a lot of negativity, especially about her body. But no matter what is said about her, Audi Crooks wears a smile. www.espn.com/womens-colle...
BOTH Democratic U.S. Senate candidates should be furious about how this is being handled in Texas.
It benefits one candidate today. But the same chaos that helped them in the primary can absolutely burn them the general.
WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?
NOEM: Yes
WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?
NOEM: No.
