Trump just called a reporter "evil" for questioning Texas flood preparedness. "All they want to do is criticize and I hope some day we can be bipartisan," Trump said of Democrats. He has a long history of politicizing disaster response in states run by Democrats. www.eenews.net/articles/tru...
Trump has long politicized disasters. Now he’s on the other side.
Democrats have seized on the administration's cuts to the National Weather Service in the wake of the Texas floods.

Trump appointees have ties to companies that stand to benefit from privatizing weather forecasts
Downsizing at the National Weather Service appears to be part of an effort by Republicans to privatize such agencies.

Time for one of my Professional Political Insights (TM) - Swing district R's will lose seats for intentionally hiking energy costs to fund tax breaks for billionaires. It polls like garbage and the ad practically writes itself.

No one ever loss money voting on Susan Collins to wimp out. What are the odds?
Susan Collins says she’ll vote YES on the motion to proceed to the bill, but she still has problems with it and plans to file several amendments. Without further changes, she says she’s “LEANING AGAINST” the bill on final passage.

Trump is taxing your new fridge at the store, gutting standards that hike your bills just for turning it on, and raising energy costs for the rest of the house with his tax bill. He might as well mug us outside Home Depot and save time up front.
