The vile Trump takeover of FEMA is complete- only states that voted for Trump get climate disaster relief.
Alaska, North Dakota, and Missouri approved. Vermont, Illinois and Maryland denied.
Trump explicitly cited how the states voted in announcing the approvals.

There ARE still heroes out there, and based on this, it looks like Genevieve McDonald is one of them. The heroes are harder to spot these days among the ever-increasing numbers of villains or those willing to betray themselves and their neighbors for money.
Maybe the campaign can make it through tomorrow without any new controversies. At least one day would be nice.

If it doesn’t directly impact him, his family, or his richest allies, he doesn’t care. Period.
WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Sincere question: Is it now a requirement that one be a convicted criminal and/or a sexual predator/p3dophile to run for office as a Republican?
If so, maybe we could make this a formal part of the application process, just so we’re all on the same page?

ICE now has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world and has increased spending on weapons.
It's also engaging in a race to recruit 10,000 new agents who will eventually be out in American streets.
Some will be vetted, but how many unqualified recruits will fall through the cracks?

Notable aspects:
1) POTUS again teeing up strikes on land. "We're totally prepared to do that."
2) Says will probably explain to Congress about strikes on land. Not seek authorization (as required by the Constitution).
3) SecState says strikes in US would be different. "Would be law enforcement."

POTUS likes performative, videogenic military action—especially airstrikes against supposed "terrorists."

I wish I could say this is shocking, but it’s not. What is harder to swallow, for me, at least, is seeing how few truly brave, heroic politicians we have who are calling out Trump and Co. on their BS, and who are sticking their necks out to fight for what’s right. It is deeply disappointing.

You nailed it precisely, @joyannreid.bsky.social . His role as prez, in his eyes, is bullying people to get his way. Whether it’s for revenge, extortion, to escape prosecution, to suck up to tech bros/dictators, and/or just because he’s a racist hate-filled narcissistic sociopath Is anyone’s guess.
What the hell is wrong with this man? He's so mad that he didn't get into Harvard, he wants to turn it into a trade school?
Trump on Harvard: "We reached a concept of a deal but it's pretty complicated bc under this deal it would be $500m, they're gonna open up trade schools. I love the idea of trade & trade schools by Harvard. You know, they get into like a vocational-type school... we may just charge them a $500m fine"
