For a photo op & a bragging media post, Trump minions at the USACoE have thrown away millions of gals of #water farmers were relying on for later this year. This water will not be captured, will not be useful for cities or farms or firefighting. It is now lost.

New @CookPolitical: over 153M votes now counted, Trump's popular vote lead down to 1.7%. www.cookpolitical.com/v…
