Hurrican Melissa had a central pressure of 892 millibars (about 88% of sea level) when it made landfall, which is incredible; the lower the pressure the stronger the air is drawn in and the stronger the winds.

Do your job. You failed to lift this up in 2024. If farmers are hurting, explain why and who is to blame. And remind Americans that we paid BILLIONS for Trump’s first tariff blunder. It’s so irresponsible to ignore this.

Right. Same thing as 2020 [see below].Through 2 debates and a session on Economics in Chicago during the 2024 campaign I never heard a reporter bring up the cost of the 2020 tariffs & the bailout to farmers WE paid for to cover Trump’s tariff folly. I’m sick of it.
