Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.
It aired in 1990.
Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."
Are you ready for a radical idea?
The function of our health care system should be to provide quality care for all, not huge profits for the insurance companies and the drug companies.
Because I love you guys and don’t want you to think everything is all death.
The following are Summer drink recipes that’ll make you wanna learn Spanish.

NEWS: In a resurfaced interview from nearly a decade ago, rapper Uncle Luke of 2 Live Crew says he fled a Trump party in Palm Beach in the early 1990s after seeing what appeared to be underage girls at a sex- and drug-fueled event
Our staff is on the ground supporting families. Many workers-including US citizens, were held by federal authorities at the farm for 8 hours or more. US citizen workers report only being released after they were forced to delete photos and videos of the raid from their phones. 4/

IT GETS WORSE 😳
"Kristi Noem didn’t authorize FEMA’s deployment of Urban Search and Rescue teams until Monday, more than 72 hours after the flooding began, multiple sources told CNN."

Your Medicaid is cut. Your health insurance is not safe. Your tips are still taxed. You pay the tariffs. There’s no trade deals. No wars have ended. Gas isn’t $2. Eggs aren’t cheaper. There isn’t $10 trillion in investment. The Epstein files are buried.
It’s. All. Lies.
All the time.
Former NOAA Administrator Richard Spinrad: "I am convinced that the staff cuts that we saw were a contributing factor to the inability of the emergency managers to respond."
NEW from me — FEMA staffers say the response to the Texas floods is horrifyingly slow, and it may be because of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's recent increased control over how the agency spends money.
"If this is how they are going to do a major hurricane response, people are fucked.”
Why are folks mad at the working mom with kids on Medicaid and SNAP rather than companies like Walmart that refuse to pay her a living wage and provide health insurance?
The people who lost children and other loved ones in the Texas floods are owed honest answers from officials. They should be told why flash flood warnings issued hours earlier were not conveyed to people in the path of the water. They don’t need more prayers from politicians. They need answers.
The United States government is no longer able to protect us from real hazards, such as flash floods, because it’s shifting funds to fake hazards, such as a non-existent immigrant crime wave. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...
Little girls were swept away by the dozens & killed by the flood while at summer camp & without FEMA FUNDING bedridden & disabled American are going to die from natural disasters they could have been rescued from & warned against.
I have never seen a more incompetent government ever. It’s insane.
I wish building a concentration camp and selling merch was attacked as much as suggesting taxing billionaires 2% more to pay for free childcare and buses for everyone.
Dismantling these departments that warn us about the weather is in Project 2025, and the core reason is they say these departments (RIGHTLY) drive “climate chang alarmism”, which “is harmful to future prosperity” (aka BIG OIL PROFITS)
The newly established “Make America Beautiful Again Commission,” created under a Trump executive order, may sound harmless, or even beneficial, but beneath the surface, it represents a major threat to public lands.
Do not let up, repeat this every day to anyone that will listen:
If gutting Medicaid was truly good for the country, they’d roll it out before the midterms, they’d campaign on it.
Funny how their "reward" schedules itself for later.
