Tell Trump to Stop Politicizing Tragedies
YouTube video by The Keith Boykin Channel Tell Trump to Stop Politicizing Tragedies

The deadly Texas floods remind us that government services (like weather forecasting and emergency warning systems) need to be properly funded. And Trump supporters have a lot of nerve accusing people of politicizing a tragedy while defending a man who politicizes everything.

As Floods Hit, Key Roles Were Vacant at Weather Service Offices in Texas

The Perfect Storm

1. The National Weather Service vacancy rate at its Texas offices doubled since Trump took office.

2. Kerr County (which voted 77% for Trump) did not have a warning system because local residents didnโ€™t want to spend the money.

3. Climate change is making this happen more often.

Wanna know how Republicans passed Trumpโ€™s big, ugly budget bill even though every poll shows Americans hate it? One word: racism.

This is why we canโ€™t have nice things.

Iran Suspends Cooperation With U.N. Nuclear Watchdog

Iran has decided to stop cooperating with the International Atomic Energy Agency, blocking UN inspectors from monitoring its nuclear sites.

Looks like Trumpโ€™s plan to withdraw from the Iran deal and join Israelโ€™s war against the country is working out perfectly.

Trumpโ€™s Finances Were Shaky. Then He Began to Capitalize on His Comeback.

A year ago, Donald Trump was in trouble. With six bankruptcies on his record, $600 million in legal judgments against him, and his last two major construction projects not making money, he finally hit the jackpot in recent months by monetizing the presidency.

The Senate has passed Trumpโ€™s big budget bill that will force nearly 12 million people to lose their health insurance and add $3.3 trillion to the national debt. Vice President JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote after the Senate deadlocked 50-50.

Trump administration sues Los Angeles over sanctuary city policies The Trump administration has sued the city of Los Angeles, Mayor Karen Bass, and the City Council over its sanctuary city policies.

The Trump administration has filed a frivolous lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles for being a sanctuary city. A sanctuary city is simply a city that chooses not to assist federal immigration authorities.

But Trump claims it's "unconstitutional" for a city to decide how to spend its own money.

Porn-obsessed Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who once expressed his admiration for porn star Long Dong Silver and placed a pubic hair on a Coke can to sexually harass Anita Hill, writes the majority opinion in today's porn case. Kagan writes the dissent.

The Supreme Court does not rule in Louisiana redistricting case and schedules reargument for another time. Justice Clarence Thomas is the only dissenter. I guess he can't wait to remove Rep. Cleo Fields (D-LA) from office and abolish Louisiana's second Black congressional district. ๐Ÿ˜
