This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

New: Weather warnings gave officials a 3 hour and 21 minute window to save lives in Kerr County.
But if any local officials got those warnings, and if so, whether they activated in any meaningful way in those hours remains a black box.

Weather warnings gave officials a 3 hour, 21 minute window to save lives in Kerr County. What happened then remains unclear.
Federal forecasters issued their first flood warning at 1:14 a.m. on July 4. Local officials haven’t shed light on when they saw the warnings or whether they saw them in time to take action.

If Republicans *really* thought their cruel cuts were going to help the country, they wouldn't have deviously made them go into effect only *after* the Midterms.
They KNOW they are going to hurt people. They just don't care as long as it doesn't hurt them.

Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.

I am not feeling the 4th of July this year. It is hard to celebrate America while SCOTUS is honoring a convicted rapist as their king, letting him kidnap people, and build concentration camps. — Does anyone else feel this way?

Masked men grabbed them off the street without stating a reason.
ICE has yet to confirm these were in fact their agents!!
Local advocates say six individuals were taken.
