NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.
The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.
At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

This moment in our country's history is depressing, but it's also illuminating. We're finding out, in real time, whom among those in power will hedge their bets, trade complicity for personal preservation, and retreat into cowardice in the hopes they'll be spared.
And we will remember their names.

This is what NYC looked like before the EPA.
Now, EPA Head Lee Zeldin is trying to erase environmental protections that safeguard our health.
Shuttering the EPA to appease oil companies isn't just corrupt, it devastates our environment and the health and safety of every American.

🚨This should be a FAR bigger story than it is.
A far-right group has sent a deportation list to the Trump administration, claiming it is supporting its efforts to deport pro-Palestinian students.
Last week the group tweeted: “Expect naturalized citizens to start being picked up within the month.“

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio.

I’m so tired of hearing Rubio & other rightwingers now claiming that if you’re on a green card you’re a ‘guest’ in this country. BS. You’re a lawful permanent resident. The clue is in the name. If someone is a permanent resident in your home, are they the same as the guests who come and go? Come on.
