Texas Officials Blame Agency Gutted by Trump for Results of Deadly Storm Experts warned for months about cuts to NWS and NOAA

When experts warned for months that the NWS “is being destroyed” by Trump’s personnel cuts, Howard Lutnick assured Congress that forecasting won’t be affected. Now TX officials are blaming a faulty forecast by NWS for the deadly impact of a storm. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it.

I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

Yes, Trump the saboteur's tariffs are bad and doing enormous harm to the country.

But he's not finished. The budget bill he's trying to pass will essentially bankrupt the United States and do an incredible amount of additional and lasting harm.

So much respect for US Senator Cory Booker for “getting in good trouble” in the spirit of John Lewis. Thank you also to all the Senators who have joined him on the floor to keep the filibuster going including Sen. Amy Klobuchar. This is the moment! Be loud!
