Quick action by 1 Texas summer camp led to timely evacuations ahead of deadly flood
Despite an absence of warning by local authorities, camp officials acted quickly on their own.

Wait, so Ted Cruz sent this message while on vacation in Greece, and instead of immediately returning to Texas the next day to oversee rescue efforts amid the rising death toll, he toured the Parthenon.

I was right he phoned it in.

Yet another holiday weekend of deadly gun violence in America. This is not inevitable—it’s a choice made by the inaction of our lawmakers and the greed of the gun industry. We should not be forced to accept this amount of suffering in exchange for unfettered access to guns.
