With cuts to FEMA, the Trump administration’s denial of climate change this could be a disastrous storm season affecting mostly red states. Many people could die from Trump’s incompetence & insistence to decrease clean energy programs, this is what MAGA voted for. Will they ever wake up.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

Trump showed a video to President Ramaphosa of South Africa claiming thousands of crosses were burial sites of white farmers.
"Contrary to Mr. Trump’s statements, the crosses are not gravesites for farmers and were not permanently placed along the road."
They were for a funeral procession in 2020
