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.
Highly recommend that once in a while you check out what the international news community is reporting on this war.
Peep this from yesterday. See the difference?
Today in America, a gunman attacked a university in Virginia and another gunman attacked a synagogue in Michigan. Both gunmen are dead, but communities will long be impacted
Infuriating that our country refuses to take action to protect our schools & houses of worship.
A 14-year-old girl from a Boston suburb was sadistically used as bait by ICE goons in an attempt to detain her father. He is not a part of her life, her mother is dead and she lives with other family including two US citizen brothers. She was transferred 200 miles away from them to NYC. So cruel.
Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."
Meanwhile, in Vermont…
People are getting gassed for protesting ICE. Yep, that’s still going on. America sure is great, isn’t it?
#Vermont #ICE #SouthBurlington
Love this for Nancy Mace.

A Haitian asylum seeker detained by ICE died after being refused timely medical attention for a severe toothache.
At least 40 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office — a two-decade high.
The monstrous cruelty of Trump's police state knows no bounds.
DISTRACTIONS DON’T WORK.
COVERUPS WON’T WORK.
NOT EVEN WAR.
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
(Reuters) - U.S. intelligence indicates that Iran's leadership is still largely intact and is not at risk of collapse any time soon after nearly two weeks of relentless U.S. and Israeli bombardment, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

Iowa farmer: This fertilizer shortage is going to affect everybody. It could lead to a decrease in yields. If you look at that countrywide, corn, soybeans, cotton, rice, that will increase prices. It's gonna be a train wreck for consumers.
DOGE said it was cutting government waste.
So they gutted USAID — the agency that feeds starving people around the world.
Meanwhile the Pentagon spent millions on lobster, ribeye, and even a $98,000 piano.

The money that could have given Americans universal healthcare here at home is being spent instead to murder schoolgirls overseas.
Bush on why he quit golf during the war: “I didn’t want some mom whose son may have died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf. I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best I can. And I think playing golf during a war sends the wrong signal.”
If this isn't abuse and fraud, I don't know what is.
We have no government right now.
This is what happens when you don't have a government.
(you get abused)
NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed.
Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)
👀 ICE deported two U.S. citizen children with their mother to Guatemala, even though she had apparently elected to leave them with their grandmother in Florida.
The govt is now arranging their return under court order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
This is clearly fine with the GOP.

Trump is spending $1 billion a day waging war on Iran. Meanwhile...
Trump's sons are investing in a drone company that could soon receive Pentagon contracts.
And of course Trump's Big Oil donors stand to gain windfall profits as the price of oil skyrockets.
War is a racket.
Trump is completely open that his goal is for the SAVE act to guarantee Republicans win elections for the next 50 years. He’s openly doing election interference. The whole bill is election interference.
Markwayne Mullin is the same dude already under scrutiny for suspicious stock trades.
And he’s supposed to run America’s national security.
• No government security experience
• No law enforcement background
• No intelligence work
• No military service
• Not even a bachelor’s degree
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
Some of the frivolous September purchases made under Secretary Pete Hegseth’s stewardship include a $98,329 Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, $5.3 million for Apple devices such as the new iPad, and an astronomical amount of …

Not trying to be hyperbolic, I fear we are on the cusp of a 9/11 type catastrophe that this regime is unwilling and unable to protect us from.
Then-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem doubled down, denouncing the incident as an act of “attempted murder” on law enforcement. Her agency published mugshots of all three men arrested in connection with the alleged assault, casting them as “violent criminals.”
None of it was true.
