Trump has DENIED Arkansas Gov. Huckabee Sanders' (R) request for federal disaster relief following a series of deadly storms in March.
Even the reddest states are not safe from this administration's blatant disregard for the American people when they are in need.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

It's saying something that the wrestling lady is one of the most qualified picks we've seen thus far. This is what happens when the bar is so low you have to look up to see the Mariana Trench.
Sure let’s go with the former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment for the head of the Department of Education. Why not.

When Japanese Americans were rounded up and incarcerated during WW2, two thirds were US citizens.
During the last “mass deportation” of Mexican Americans, over half were US citizens.
Assume this time won’t be any different.

we fixed acid rain! we fixed the ozone layer! we beat polio! we’ve rescued scores of species from the brink of extinction! the despair many of us feel about climate change isn’t that it’s too big to fix. it’s that we know it is fixable but we’re being thwarted by greedy ghouls at every turn.
The other day I was like “you know something we heard a lot about as kids was acid rain, why don’t we hear about it anymore”
TURNS OUT we fixed it???
