They warned that the Trump Administration's cuts to disaster response and the current FEMA leaders' complete lack of experience risk placing the country at a "Katrina-level" disaster.

In a less imperfect world, Musk and Trump would be forever cast as killers of children, and this would be front-page news for months and the subject of Sunday sermons in every church.
NEW: The death shadow cast by Musk.
“When U.S.-supported soup kitchens were forced to close, babies starved quietly, their mothers said, while older siblings died begging for food.”
The world’s richest man did this to the world’s poorest children.
Don’t ever forget.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.
ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

She's breaking all sorts of CALIFORNIA STATE LAW with no federal authority or immunity.
Immediately before Senator Padilla is manhandled and removed from the press conference, Noem says, "We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership." When people tell you who they are, believe them.

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection
Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

Star Trek is this weird space-themed workplace drama where no one is allowed to have coffee or a water bottle. (Picard gets tea because he has a private office.) Everyone else is presumably dehydrated all the time, which works out because they have to take an elevator to find the nearest bathroom
