Kristi Noem didn’t approve FEMA rescue teams for over 72 hours after the Texas floods, following a rule she imposed that required her personal sign-off on any operation over $100K.

This is inexcusable. She should resign.

Don’t for one second, not one millisecond, say babies drowning in Texas is justified because of their parent’s vote.

The people who lost children and other loved ones in the Texas floods are owed honest answers from officials. They should be told why flash flood warnings issued hours earlier were not conveyed to people in the path of the water. They don’t need more prayers from politicians. They need answers.

More than a hundred libraries on federally recognized tribal lands across the country were notified by the Trump administration that their congressionally appropriated grant had been terminated midcycle.

Those communities are at risk of losing their local libraries and the history they hold. 📚

Honestly I'm glad they picked Harvard to try out this novel "we're mad" legal theory of revoking tax-exempt status, given its infinite resources, deep network of powerful alumni, and law school attended by 142 sitting federal judges.

Good luck! 🫡

They are are eating the checks; they are eating the balances.

The economy is a wreck, but they are pretending we are in a palace.

At the stroke of midnight the tarriffs will invoke more madness & the only question will be who will keep their lips tight & who will fight
